INTENSE Music

[phoenix13]

You can name it, youtube link it, upload sing it... but I want it. What's the most intense song/piece/band/whootiver that you've ever heard? Any genre will do. Just make it intense.
...INTENSE!!!

[colmena]

It's a big file, you'll probably have to pause it at the start and wait for it to load before playing it through.

Part - Fratres - for violin and piano. (to be played loud, preferably with headphones).

[PinkPiranha]

Intense?

Like Type O Negative intense? Or Wagner intense?

[Jack Flak]

Screeching Weasel-I Wanna be a Homosexual

[Didums]

Rammstein - Stein um Stein

I believe we have a winner.

[file cabinet]

Intense mainly because of the transition between something relatively mellow to something with an excellent bass line...

I'm not a big aphex twin fan but I like how you can hear the crowd yelling and yearning (with ants in their pants) for Richard D James:
Boing Poum Tchak! (http://www.boingpoumtchak.com/2008/06/23/en-aphex-twin-dj-set-videos-coachella-08/)

I like this set starting around the 39 min mark then it's good for awhile:

I find all of these to be intense in different ways:

[pure_mercury]

YouTube - Manic Street Preachers - Suicide Is Painless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-g0aBYVCgE)

I voted this the Hardest Rocking Song of the 1990s. Watch what happens at 2:30. And don't turn your volume up too loud.

[PinkPiranha]

I like "More Human Than Human" by White Zombie.

What TV show did they jack the theme song from? Seriously, they did, I just can't think of the show.

HAHA, it's right in the description, MASH.

Yeah, they covered it as a non-album single in 1992.

Both.

Pick up Shostakovich's quartets.

Get Maxim Vengerov's performance of the 1st Violin Concertos of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, conducted by Rostropovich... I GUARANTEE you there's nothing more (maybe as, but not more) intense than that. And beautiful.

Done. There's so much more out there, but you can't get more intense than oppressed Russian (genius) artists.

_____

well... I'll add a few more... Radiohead's "Ok Computer"... Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" ("Rite of Spring")... Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" double album.... Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"...

[PinkPiranha]

Both.

*Most of the "Henry V" soundtrack.
*Viento del Arena - Gipsy Kings

...I... I LOVE YOU!!!

I friggin' discovered Shostakovich through that recording (Vengerov)... I was a huge Prokie fan, but then... oh baby. I'm actually married to Shostakovich on facebook, 'cause I'm cool like that.

Funny, my dad (an ENTP) is a big fan of the Russians as well. I wonder if it's an Ne thing...

Could you (phoenix13) please recommend me some music that would be easy to find. Anything.

You just blew me away colmena! That was my music. That's exactly the kind of piece I yearn for. Intense, sad, energetic (beginning). I must know more about this piece. Who's the composer?

Now for stuff online:
Here's a shortie (2nd movement of Bruckner's 9th symphony):
YouTube - Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 - II. Scherzo. Bewegt, Lebhaft-Trio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO6HltIxevU)

If you search "Shostakovich" in Pandora online radio, you'll get the Emerson String Quartet playing his 8th string concerto (or so it was last time I checked). The first movement is sad/depressing, but the next three are loud and intense and grotesque.

There's so much more... I'll try to find some more of my favorites online.

That's awesome! (everybody scream)... I also discovered Shosta through that CD! (Vengerov is, in my opinion, the most consummate violinist of the 20th century...)

Heh heh... I'll throw in some Rachmaninoff piano concerti, then... Mahler's good... let's not forget Beethoven...


I'll throw some curveballs... some might miss though... so I'm warnin' ya!

Brad Mehldau's Japan concert... his version of Paranoid Android is insane... George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice"... most stuff by Schoenberg.... anything Ives... The Doors' "The End"... The Beatles' "Helter Skelter"... Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"... last three are kind of obvious though...

Beethoven symphonies are hot. The latter ones (prob. due to approaching deafness) have that neurotic repetition of a strong rhythmic motif ("strong beat" doesn't feel right with Beeth) that I love so much in the 20ce Russians. Ooooo, 7th symphony 2nd movt. is a good example. Not a big fan of Rachmaninoff... but Mahler? He makes me wet my pants. 2nd symphony started my obsession, but the finale of the 6th is so orgasmically orgasmic in its orgasmiticity, it's like... pornophony. I know none of the curve balls you listed (except Ives... he's aight). I have much to listen to from this thread :D.

Btw, Shostakovich is my all time favorite composer. I once had a dream that I was sewing clothes on his statue in front of thousands of worshipers. I love him so... Sweet Jesus, :doh: I'm the biggest music dork in the history of stuff!

Well, since you're so into European classical, I would highly suggest that you at least try out some Schoenberg... anything... just jump right in (like I did)... even if you don't like it at first, it'll certainly, at the very least, warp your ears for a while.... 12-tone and serialism and all that... if it's too much, wade in slowly with some Bartok or Scriabin, even Stravinsky, and then move onto Schoenberg... I personally don't care for the later serialists though....

With Schoenberg: Verklarte Nacht is an early, pre pure atonal work which is eerily beautiful... then just dive into his work from the 20's, 30's and 40's...

I've been interested in Schoenberg for a while. Thanks for the tips, I shall listen!

Maxim Vengerov is amazing. There's a Saint-saens piece he did with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra that I've been trying to get hold of for ages. I was listening to it whilst watching the clouds and my mind was blown.

I might be moving up north soon to learn violin and teach my cousins theory. It all depends if I can get hold of a piano of sorts.

[colmena]

You just blew me away colmena! That was my music. That's exactly the kind of piece I yearn for. Intense, sad, energetic (beginning). I must know more about this piece. Who's the composer?

The composer is Arvo Pärt. The piece, Fratres For Violin And Piano. (He's the chap who did Spiegel Im Spiegel)

I will upload more of my favourites.

Thank you for your recommendations.

This is the most intense song I've heard (and a favorite), but I had to jog my memory. It starts at 0:20, and the silly video is irrelevant.

YouTube - Oomph! "Der Neue Gott" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csp5Rl0t6jg) (Industrial/Metal)
YouTube - Disturbed - Liberate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNzAcYHuWg0) (If this was on the radio, half of it would be bleeped out).

[Samuel De Mazarin]

Some of the most "intense" songs I like:

YouTube - Lamb of God - Walk With Me In Hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NvntVb0Q_o)

The band name just brought up an association... sitting in Mass and Monseigneur Leonard singing in a simple mode: "Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world... have mercy on us..."

Even though the melody was very gentle and I was already a skeptic, I remember feeling a shiver down my spine...

So for intense music, I'd have to make mention of chants at Catholic Masses... and on a related note, purist Vedic chanting... very intense...

I enjoy Ralph Vaughan Williams but can only take his orchestrations with discretion and infrequency.

The composer's 5th Symphony in D Major is one of these ambivalent favorites. In the second Presto movement (track 2, disc 2 (http://mp3.rhapsody.com/album/vaughanwilliamssymphoniesnos46etc)), from its denouement past the four-minute mark, it all goes to wordless things and points of light.

So enchanted by that first seven-chord progression (on this recording, about 4:13), I lifted a variation and stuck it behind the first chorus in a song of my old band's.

I listen to the following aria when I'm in a dark mood and it is simply cathartic.

Stride La Vampa from Verdi's Il Trovatore. Azucena, a gypsy, bitterly describes her mother's death to a band of fellow gypsies. Her mother was burned on the stake for being a witch while the ones who convicted her (falsely) laughed and enjoyed themselves.
