Musical request
For insane reasons of my own, I'd be curious as to everyone's suggestions for Steampunk-genre music... groups, albums or individual songs. Explanations as to why will be extra-appreciated.
Dunno why, but Enigma always reminded me of Steampunk...the darker sides, at least. 'Course, that may be due to the gothic sound, but they're still cool.
Check out the band "Pandora Celtica' at http://www.pandoraceltica.com/fr_home.cfm. They're a celtic accapella group (sounds odd but they're amazingly good). They even have one song (can't remember which CD right off hand) that's got a Steampunk theme. One of the group also has a Steampunk art site at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Avarra if you want t check it out.
You could try these for a start:

Have fun!
Abney Park (http://www.abneypark.com/) is a favorite of mine...
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it folks :D
ReplyDeleteI also find the Blue Oyster Cult Imaginos album to be somewhat close in concept, even if not musically apropos...

ReplyDeleteThis world needs more Steampunk.
I really like the album Steam Powered Stories by the group The Cog is Dead. Good stuff, very fun!
ReplyDeleteAlso, be sure to listen to Professor Elemental, who is not strictly steampunk, but very similar and HILARIOUS:
