Innovative Celtic Music of the 80’s and 90’s

This stuff is old but still good, none of it is traditional “Celtic”, but it comes from Celtic countries:
Cocteau Twins – Pearly Dewdrops Drops, Aikea Guinea, This Love
An innovative post-punk new-wave Scottish band from the 80’s, pioneered a lush aethereal aesthetic and the use of nonsensical ‘sound’-lyrics to create a mood.
Gorky’s Zygotic Minci – Mewn Rhywogaeth
A quirky Welsh band with songs sometimes in Welsh, mostly in English. They were a family with some training in classical musicianship, and their trademark sound is to use unexpected changes of time signature and key in their playing to give it a strange sound.

Aphex Twin – 4, Goon Gumpas, Boy Girl Song
A reclusive closet-Genius from Cornwall, whose eccentricities made for interesting gossip in the music world of the mid-90’s. He ‘revolutionized’ techno with an idiosyncratic mix of new break-beat styles and ambient synthesizer sounds, as well as being one of the first circuit benders

Well Ive still got my 12” vinyl version of Song to the Siren. Perhaps slightly outside the mainstream of the Cocteau Twins other stuff given that it was billed as being by This Mortal Coil (but was really Liz and the others).

Good different or experimental music. I leave the more detailed critiques to those who are more knowledgeable in music. As a fairly average listener,  for me the harmonious and pleasant melodies/voices/sounds/rhytms form the basis of good music, and all else is extra. Here are some examples of melodic music. These kinds of ingredients are used to acquire large audiences, whatever the particular popularity of the particular pieces of music. They give the companies, producers and musicians influence and money. If there are ethnic nationalist musicians here, I recommend that they study carefully how popular music is done. Copy in applied form whatever is necessary, but be still creative and install subtle, but clear elements of political message, ethnic pride, ethnic nationalism etc.

Relaxing music:

Gun’s and Roses, Don’t Cry

Londonderry Air; Irish melody played by studying musicians, some flaws

Whitney Houston, I Learned from the Best; no-good black drug addict at her best

Some testosterone for your consumption. Notice how comtemporary hard rock etc. so often contains satan, 666, devil, drugs, imbibing alcohol, purposelesness etc. degenerate and detrimental elements. Or in softer music green/socialist/universal egalitarian etc. harmful and detrimental elements. If you are an ethnic nationalist musician, make your message, performance and appearance strong, good and healthy.

AC/DC = anti-christ/ devil’s child, For Those about to Rock

Plus… I mean Axl Rose! One in a Fucking Million!

  One In A Million
  Lyrics by Axl Rose
  Music by Guns ‘n Roses

  Guess I needed
  Sometime to get away
  I needed some peace of mind
  Some peace of mind that’ll stay
  So I thumbed it
  Down to sixth and L.A.
  Maybe your greyhound
  Could be my way
  Police and niggers
  That’s right
  Get out of my way
  Don’t need to buy none of your
  Goldchains today
  I don’t need no bracelets
  Clamped in front of my back
  Just need my ticket till then
  Won’t you cut me some slack

  Chorus:

  You’re one in a million
  Yeah, that’s what you are
  You’re one in a million, babe
  You are a shooting star
  Maybe someday we’ll see you
  Before you make us cry
  You know we tried to reach you
  But you were much to high
  Much to high
  Much to high
  Much to high

  Immigrants and faggots
  They make no sense to me
  They come to our country
  And think they’ll do as they please
  Like start some mini Iran
  Or spread some fucking disease
  They talk so many goddamn ways
  It’s all greek to me
  Well some say I’m lazy
  And others say that’s just me
  Some say I’m crazy
  I guess I’ll always be
  But it’s been such a long time
  Since I knew right from wrong
  It’s all the means to an end, I,
  I keep on movin’ along

  Chorus

  Radicals and racists
  Don’t point your finger at me
  I’m a small town white boy
  Just tryin’ to make ends meet
  Don’t need your religion
  Don’t watch that much TV
  Just makin’ my livin’, baby,
  Well that’s enough for me

  Chorus

DanielJ: “Plus… I mean Axl Rose! One in a Fucking Million!”

- There wasn’t a good video version of it, but maybe this serves as a good replacement:

Guns and Roses, Paradise City

PF, I can’t tell what nationality you are.  Forgive me, are you a Yank or a Brit?
