Cool foreign bands?

[Conflict]

Aside from most my punk/indie stuff i'm listening to alot more softer stuff, electronic stuff. One band that I started listening to call Air from France is so damn good. What are some other bands like this? When i mean electronic, synths and stuff, not drum machines and techno..

^^ Cmon, no one likes me

Yea they are cool too, I have some of their songs..

Another vote for Sigur Ros

Mogwai -- They are from Scotland and are the best band evar!!!
Godspeed You Black Emperor -- Canadian band. They are instrumental and sound like a mixture of rock with classical music
Fly Pan Am -- Another Canadian band
Radiohead -- They're foreign

I'll have to think of others, but all mentioned are great.

Also, they are not foreign, but check out Dorkweed. They have a song called You're so Trailer Park and I can't get it out of my head. I can't find it anywhere on DC or WinMX, and I've been to every CD store around here, but alas no Dorkweed. If you know where I can find this song, I will be glad to pay for it buy the way, please tell me.

Built to spill 0wnz.

You said no indie, but Eastern Youth is an awesome Japanese band that plays rock. They opened for ATDI here in Seattle.

Modest mouse is great too, They played with 764-Hero, A song called "whenever you see fit." It was awesome. 764-Hero- excellent band.

Black Heart Procession is a great electronica band. Light moog and they play the saw. I own one of their CDs and it's really good.

 

[thomsbrain]

hate to break it to you guys but modest mouse isn't foriegn. however, they are awesome and you should check them out anyway.

as for foriegn and "electronica," check out Portishead, probably the best trip-hop group EVER. Tricky and Sneaker Pimps only wish they could be this good.

 

[Nemesis77]

Jean-Michel Jarre
Vangelis
