[Type 4] Enneagram 4; Melancholic Music Mayhem!

[Odi et Amo]

I know, I know... I cherry-pick their discography. This one gets progressively better.

From the same era for me... trying to lump similar songs. Abrasive, but I find it beautiful.

Similarly abrasive, slightly more beautiful. I love this song.

I could get used to this thread...

Pretty much everything these guys have made has a melancholic feel to it. They were my favorite band for a few years too. Here's a really good example of it.

Dead Can Dance - Xavier
Genre: Gothic/World

 

[Eugene Watson VIII]

Good input everyone.

Try this one for size:

[MENTION=15964]Planetary Walker[/MENTION], Venetian Snares is a classic. Nice pick. I can't think of them without thinking of Aphex Twin. Which, incidentially, can make a lot of melancholy music. His entire album "Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2" is nothing but that. I'd say this is the most noted of that vein:

Aphex Twin - Curtains
Genre: Ambient/IDM

They have a lot of overlapping elements but I'd say that Aphex Twin tends to lean towards the experimental IDM Side while Venetian Snares expertises mainly in breaks. Miss balaton next to Hajnal must be some of the longest epic pieces of music Aaron Funk has ever written. You should check out his interviews, he's such a nob lol.

Nice song btw.

Ok, so cut and paste I guess. Sorry guys. It won't display the damn videos for me.

That will teach me to be economical!

Speaking as a 4. Music is the ultimate escape. The more variety, the more ways to escape.

Indeed. Do feel free to contribute though

Some Coltrane (pretty melancholic and chilled out)

Some FOT as well (the first 32 seconds, really)

I think you will all will really like this one:

Little Dragon - Twice

 

[á´…eparted]

You would not expect it considering who made this, but I have always found this song to have a really melancholy feel to it, and video really adds to the effect.

Felix Da Housecat - Madame Hollywood

 

[Eugene Watson VIII]

Some chilled out electronic, quite a sad song

 

[Haven]

 

[CheshireCat]

I like it.

Posted this one as an enneagram 5 theme song before but it works so well for enneatype 4 as well.

Another good one I thought off (been skimming my itunes over the past few days and posting them as they come to me):

Blonde Redhead - 23

 

[Eugene Watson VIII]

Perfect for an epic funeral
