What is the SEXIEST music?

Also, I don't understand why records by, say, Barry White are considered so sexy. Maybe, to me, cliche = unsexy

It isn't. My Bloody Valentine's music is damn sexy, as is a lot of similarly dreamy stuff. Classical music, especially early 20th-Century European stuff, can be similarly so. Ditto a lot of New York stuff - Velvets, Lou Reed, Iggy, Suicide and so forth seems sexy to me, but possible only in a 'smacking up then having raunchy sex' scene in an EDGY sub-Hollywood film.

Likewise there is nothing particularly sexy about the vast majority of hip-hop. And to be honest, I find much of Prince's music sexy only in the way that skintight leather or latex is sexy - ie in the most obvious possible way.

If I had my way I would expunge every saxophone solo from every record ever made.

i just think if i had to describe tracks like Mirwais 'Disco Science' or 'Machine Says Yes' i would probably use the word sexy and it would make perfect sense to me

"Machine Said Yes" - this is pretty but I absolutely can't see how it could be sexy.

or maybe its just the general tweakage and effects of the sounds on the FC Kahuna track, the TB-303-clone sounds like its either being put through a meat-grinder or just 'fucked' in some way...there's lots of 'high-energy' sounds, messing around with frequencies and sonic events that just seems to have some kind of sexual connotation...tho its not like i jack off to it or something. i think the same of Air's 'La Femme D'Argent' - different music, cant dance to it, not much bass but just has some erotic element - perhaps it just comes from me hearing it and matching it with erotic imagery of some kind...but what is it that makes me do that if not something in the sounds and arrangements of them?

Is that the 3rd track on Vocal City? If so, I agree -- although it's sexy kind of in the same way as a Helmut Newton photograph. It's like an idealized image of sex w/ out the messy body fluids. No real sexual encounter could ever be so perfect.

then, Matt, then?

uh, anyway Kelis' Wanderland is immensely sexy.

sorry - Bite your what?

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.

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.

Came here to say Synkro... of course I'm not the first.

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??

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.
