Looking for "dream-like" music (examples inside)
« on: September 30, 2011, 09:00:30 PM »
Just stumbled upon this great prog metal band called Landmarq, which have the exact type of feel I'm looking for. I'm trying to find music that's very atmospheric, mystical, mellow at times, synth-based, ect. The type of music that makes you feel like you're in some kind of dream, or other worldly place.

Some examples:

-Porcupine Tree's "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here"
-Steve Wilson's "Veneno Para Las Hadas"
-Pure Reason Revolution's first album "The Dark Third"
-Thomas Newman's "Any Other Name"
-Phil Collin's "I Can Feel It In The Air"
-Octavarium (the song)
-DJ Teisto's "Dreaming"
-Hans Zimmer's "Old Souls"
-10,000 Days (the song)
-The first verse of "Breaking All Illusions"

How To Measure A Planet by The Gathering(For example listen to "Marooned")
I don't know but I think Opeth's Damnation is dreamy
Animals by Pink Floyd
( ) by Sigur Ros
Perdition City By Ulver

Check those out.

I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

I feel like Frost's "Milliontown" album does the trick. Nice proggy music that is very colorful.

Keyboardist David Lanz and guitarist Paul Speer did amazing stuff together on a few things. They did the music for a series of videos (Natural States is the best). Check those out. Very good atmospheric/ dream like stuff.

Something with vocals...Lisa Gerrard
