Just recieved my Nuon DVD VLM-501.... advice on some music??

Post by backpackr »

Hey folks, just though I'd ask for some suggestions for some cool tunes to listen to on my VLM. So far I've got some Amon Tobin, St Germain, Gravediggaz, J-5... Looking for similar stuff to 'watch'. :wink: Definitely open to new styles and sounds..

ciao

Anything record on an HDCD... like Tool's "Lateralus" and Ken Andrew's project "ON" (album: "Shifting Skin").

HDCD really pushes the VLM in new directions...

I second DTJ's recommendation of HDCDs. Try the Blue Man Group CD. Very different CD, the VLM-2 loves it. Most Pink Floyd does a nice job, as does spoken word CDs on certain effects.

Listen to your favorite music - that seems to make it easier to find the good VLM patterns.

Personal recommendations would be either of the last two Flaming Lips CDs (Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin). Not only some of the finest music of the last few years but pure VLM fodder too.

/me has just had an :evil: thought

VLM Zaireeka

It just has to be done. Four Nuons, projectors and the Flaming Lips.

Oh yes...

Cheers

Briefly contemplating buying 3 more N-501s and 2 more TVs...

Regarding "good" VLM music, I'd like to ask the opposite: Has anyone found any music that they love that they don't enjoy watching on the VLM? I can't think of any...
