This is a bit of a vague thread topic, but I put together a list of albums or works that seemed to have no rhythm based on blues, ragtime, swing, and rock for the duration of the playing time. I tried to be a bit strict in compiling this list, but someone with better knowledge of music and-or theory may be able to correct me on some of it. Some music like black metal and punk seems to have different rhythmic foundations than
blues, ragtime, swing, and rock. I heard a similar statement from somewhere a while back, was intrigued, and eventually made the following list:
Nick Drake, Brian Eno: Discreet Music, Ambient 1: Music for Airports, Ambient 4: On Land, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, Thursday Afternoon, The Shutov Assembly, Harold Budd: Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror, The Pearl; Jon Hassell: Fourth World, Vol. 1-2; Michael Brook: Hybrid, Tangerine Dream: Phaedra, Throbbing Gristle: 20 Jazz Funk Greats, J.S. Bach: Toccata & Fugue: famous organ works, J. S. Bach: Organ Works: The Great Organ at Methuen, Cabaret Voltaire: The Living Legends…, Three Mantras, Dead Can Dance: Garden of the Arcane Delights, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, The Serpent’s Egg, Aion, Corrosion of Conformity: Six Songs With Mike Singing, Swans: Cop / Young God, Earth: A Bureaucratic Desire for Extra-Capsular Extraction; Earth 2 - Special Low Frequency Version; Mantas (Schuldiner’s band before Death), Genocide (the band before Repulsion), Extreme Noise Terror: In It For Life, Sleep: Jerusalem, Autechre: Incunabula, Basscad (Basscadetmxs), Amber, Tri Repetae / Anvil Vapre / Garbage, Oversteps, Move of Ten, Exai, L-Event, Summoning: Stronghold, Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, Lost Tales, Ulver: Kveldsanger, Rachel’s, Labradford, Sunn o))): Grimmrobe Demos, ØØ Void, Oneohtrix Point Never, Incubus (from Georgia, U.S.A.), Necrovore, Enslaved, Ildjarn, Sort Vokter, Darkthrone, Suffocation: Despise the Sun, Beherit, Graveland, Rotting Christ: Thy Mighty Contract, Amophis: Tales From the Thousand Lakes / Black Winter Day, Incantation: Mortal Throne of Nazarene, Mournful Congregation, Skepticism, Ras Algethi, Decapitated, Origin, Decrepit Birth, Vile, Ahab.
Feel free to discuss or come up with your own examples.
