änglagård: Swedish progressive rock. They sound like a band from the first wave of progressive rock (Yes, King Crimson, ELP). <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SEDhBJynbvo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Three very different and yet similar songs IMHO. I can sing along to the first 2 although I have no idea what I'm saying. Stereolab is basically an English band, but Sadier sings in French half the time. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pSBrNttSVpI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Japan, RIP Nujabes <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k4RiEC7Ek40" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Jamaica. I started listening to dub after getting into drum & bass. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QScoMpmEGJc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Oh geez... way too many to post here. But here's a sampler. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VK9qfVQ4Z04" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Within Temptation is a Dutch band that sounds a lot like Evanescence, except better. I love almost every song on their "Silent Force" album. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kIBdpFJyFkc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Nightwish is another symphonic metal band... these guys are Finnish, though. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0SD6xzeiSlw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I don't actually like most of Gackt's music, but this ballad of his is just gorgeous. Used as the ending theme for my favorite anime, Texhnolyze. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EIVgSuuUTwQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UJjscA9Zvcw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u0ow4tGgZWk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Three songs written by Yoko Kanno for the Ghost in the Shell TV series. Love 'em all. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hzao7fypoQA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Ending theme for Gundam Seed, titled "Anna ni Issho Datta no ni" (whatever the hell that means). <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IQU_5J5vWoo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Pie Jesu by Taku Iwasaki. I could go on, but I'll leave it there.
African song, Duncan Mighty: Port Harcourt Son, I have no idea what this song says but I like it, can anybody translate it for me?
