Sterling - don't worry, I was being drunkenly flippant - I don't expect said comment to stand up to close scrutiny in the slightest.

haha I was being flippant too. I meant why "then" and not "while"?

for anyone who responded that music doesn't turn them on: i can't imagine my sex life (twisted and unusual though it is) nearly as enjoyable or fulfilling if music wasn't a part of it. am i unfortunate enough to be part of a generation who needs cheap poorly produced porn to get off? and pictures?... what about imagination? isn't the success of music dictated by the way it makes you feel, the images it puts in your head, the emotions it shows you that you can't quite put into words because they're from a past life when you used a different means of communication? (i'm overspiritualizing to make a point). well i wouldn't want to chance on finding myself on the pillow with one of you people. you'd probably do something awful like bite my yum yum.

Cheesy prog fusion. I mean, its the soundtrack to all those porn movies, so it must work for someone.

sorry - Bite your what?

Indeed, Mark, "Synkro" is track three from _Vocalcity_. That's a very interesting take on it; it's almost like what sex seems like when you're fantasizing about it rather than actually having it, the way you sometimes fantasize out (or just plain fail to imagine, is probably more like it) the gritty details and such.

I love the non-rigid syncopation on this track (and on the whole album, really) - the 8th-note programming is slightly swung, slightly slinky, rather than straight-8th boom-tss, and I think that might add to its sexiness. In fact, a lot of microhouse uses this swung pattern; it feels more relaxed, more liveable, it sways rather than pumps.

Any genre can be sexy, except crap ones like pop and rap, obviously.

I found this really sexy band the other day, Jucifer. Guy plays drums, girl plays guitar through many amps, sound like My Bloody Valentine meets The Melvins, but with sexy female vocals.

Right now, and for a long time already, Francoise Hardy's 'La Question' and especially Luomo's 'The Present Lover'.... fuck...

What's yours? I'm specifically not talking "music to make love to"-music, but music that makes you feel all hot and bothered and aroused and.... fuck...

I think bass heavy music is sexy, if used right. So Vocalcity and Baduizm come to mind. There's something enveloping with that type of music, and subtle without any treble in your face.

'What Good' off TPL is kind of sexy in an unsexy way, given the embarrassing lyrics, but the album seems too produced/processed to be sexy for me.

Wow, "Synkro" still springing to people's minds 11 years later! I love that...

It's just that good!

Is Star Me Kitten by R.E.M. a lame answer to this question? Anyway, Star Me Kitten by R.E.M.

i need help.

i remember a song that i thought came from an erotic movie. specifically i thought it came from the emmanuelle series. but i've checked emmanuelle's soundtracks and i'm pretty sure i've misremembered.

the song has a synth that imitates a harpsichord or guitar, but with that abstract sound of 1970s synths. it's a trilling synth. the melody is methodical and languorous. it's a high-pitched synth.

it might not be from a movie!

any suggestions for erotic synth music probably from the 1970s?

Cocteau Twins are a pretty good soundtrack for getting busy.

very easy answer for me, HTRK in general, Psychic 9-5 Club in particular.

Klaus Schulze's Body Love? is there anything else that qualifies??

― frogbs, Thursday, 1 December 2022 21:06 (one year ago) link

There's a fair amount of library music that fits the bill, though I'm blanking on specific tracks/composers atm.

This comes to mind along those lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1gNFbBH2lM

Also dub techno in general. And Air.
