Spark notes summary my friend? I appreciate your prompt reply
OP here once more
Wikipedia provides a stellar surmising en.m.wikipedia.org
I feel like I'm alone in thinking this but whatever
One of the greatest German achievements in lyricism this side of the millennium.
This looks very interesting but no descriptions are coming up in English. Requesting sparks notes for this too. When you say lyricism do you mean like hip hop tier or like Joanna newsom tier or what like what lyricism are we talking bout
Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares
(bulgarian choral music)
youtube.com
Syzygys (female jp microtonal violin/organ duo)
youtube.com

Pizzicato Five - This years girl
loungey/jazzy jp pop w/ female vocalist

GOAT coming through
Buena Vista Social Club
cuban stuff, genres idk
youtube.com
You're doing the lord's work boys
Arrington de Dionyso('s) Malaikat dan Singa
american band that sing in indonesian / throat sing, a mix of free jazz and noise rock. criminally underrated
youtube.com
Buena Vista Social Club is correct as well
Hijokaiden - Noisey Killer
(非常階段 - ノイジー・キラー)
Jp noise with vocaloid vocals. also one of the best album cover homages
I dunno if it's on the internet anywhere, but imagine a noise version of this song with hatsune miku doing the vocals. (that's on the album)
youtube.com
Omar Souleyman - Wenu Wenu
syrian wedding/ pop singer madea sick as fuck electronic album produced by four tet
youtube.com
Learn German and you'll know. Far beyond hiphop. Mostly storytelling of small processes painting a greater scenario pertaining to a theme in complicated endless sentences using old and uncommon words that sound nice together and complicated, confusing grammatical structures. Rather psychedelic if you understand the language. Probably just as psychedelic if you don't.
>essential non-English speaking albums
That's a very wide and ignorant category my friend
Camellia ft nanahira - replay
denpa, "Denpa song (電波ソング?) is a type of Japanese music that is intentionally strange and catchy.[1] Common features of denpa songs include intentionally off-key vocals, nonsensical lyrics and an over-the-top tune"
youtube.com
this is the most catchy denpa album I know of
サイケアウツ – Black List -Ultimate Classics
Japanese Jungle/DnB, quite different from a lot of older UK jungle, some video game samples
youtube.com
this user is correct, also 'Essential - X' is bullshit anyway
this is a better sample but I couldn't find the album cover version on youtube, it's the same song. It's a jungle mashup of the lone ranger theme, it also has some pacman SFX
youtube.com
Midori - Hello everyone. Nice to meet you. We are Midori
This is an album quite a lot of mu would say is an essential i guess, infact it has a page on the Sup Forums wiki apparently -
"This album collides classic jazz and rock instruments together with a traditional punk ethos and style, that brings this album closer to the realm of Noise or Noise Rock, with singing from the female vocalist consisting of a very feminine, almost child-like voice, interspersed with wild screaming and shouting, over a cacophonous medley of instruments in the background. "

Oh come on man
I'm just asking what are everyone's absolute favourites, or first thing they would think of, or most well known critically acclaimed non-speaking English album
It's supposed to be vague
Plastic people of the universe - Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned
Basically czech zappa inspired rock/psych
"The Plastic People of the Universe (PPU) is a Czech rock band from Prague. It was the foremost representative of Prague's underground culture (1968–1989), which had gone against the grain of Czechoslovakia's Communist regime. Due to their non-conformism, members of the band often suffered serious repercussions such as arrests"
youtu.be
I wish it was easier to go through my albums and see which have non-English lyrics, the problem for me with a lot of my favorite music being from non-English countries is it's still often sung in English or more often, it's instrumental or the lyrics aren't the focus of the music
Off the top of my head though, I'd say:
Selda, Auktyon, Fairuz, Huun-Huur-Tu, Buenos Muchachos, Hukwe Zawose, Kazuki Tomokawa, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
...
Los Tres - Fome - 1997
(essential chileancore/latinrockcore)
Thick Scottish counts right? I've seen quite a few on Sup Forums who can't understand glaswegian
Arab Strap - Ten Years of Tears

"I was awake, I overheard your speech, my ego dried and sank.
Talked with your ex and we agreed thoughts of your sister helped us wank.
I'm sure you know that I have fancied her since she began high school."
there's too many to say user, you're literally talking about the musical output of billions of people
that said I'll contribute something that deserves to be a lot more well known on Sup Forums

Tricot - T H E
jap all girl math rock band, strangley for a japanese all girl band they don't have a gimmick
it's used at the start of the Adam Curtis documentary 3 parter "all watched over by loving machines" More likely, futurama the ep with lila's parents
>strangley for a japanese all girl band they don't have a gimmick
their gimmick is math rock user
it's a good gimmick though
this for sure, some other Spinetta stuff like Invisible's S/T too
*by machines of loving grace
Invisible is so fucking good, but Artaud is pretty much the most well known, so I posted that instead, good taste tho
