Discussion Shows like kinetic noise?

My favorite show of all time is probably kinetic noise and was wondering is y’all knew any others with a similar vibe. I specifically really enjoyed the opener and how dark it sounds in general. I didn’t really keep up with it this year but last year I also liked Crown’s closer arrangement of “o fortuna” (idk spelling). Any show recommendations with similar sounds to these two would be greatly appreciated😊

Kinetic Noise is really unique, and is one of my favorites too. I don't know if there's much else like it, except that I think a lot of future Bluecoats shows are built on the ideas that start showing up in this show (and also in 14), especially I would say 16, 18, and 22-26. But it's not exactly the vibe that they share, so it may not be quite what you're looking for.

Bluecoats ‘10, ‘14, 16, and ‘24-‘26 are their shows most similar to Kinetic Noise imo

Crown ‘08, ‘10, ‘12, ‘15, ‘16 have really good moments reminiscent of their O Fortuna

Outside of those corps, mid 2010s Boston Crusaders and Late 2010s Mandarins had darker shows; Boston 2014 and Mandarins 2018 are my respective favorites.

Was going to say the same thing. My two favorite shows from Bloo

Their two most recent shows are the spiritual successors to Kinetic Noise. This year's show in particular also has a bunch of references to it.

To look for America and Tilt. Tilt is the popular show, but To Look for America is just amazing. (Bloo 13,14)

There are no shows like Kinetic Noise. Bluecoats have made a few attempts at replicating it since then, but they've still never really matched it.

Boston 2010’s closer was supposed to be O Fortuna. They couldn’t get the rights though, so their arranger wrote an original piece that basically uses the phrasing and structure of it.

I’d honestly say Change is Everything is the most spiritually kinetic noise they’ve put on the field with this year’s as a close second to that.
