      hey I trust Alfo as well but for a video like this you can get a similar list of albums from the top charts on rateyourmusic.com. If you want to find top albums in genres it is pretty good, or you can dig thru top of all time charts until you get to something you haven’t heard before and read the reviews/descriptors to find out more about it.

I've recently released a project titled "The Fishbowl Syndrome" that is centered around the topic of our mental health and how art is sometimes viewed here in America;to which my first debut music video "The Horse on a Trampoline" works showcase on the spectrum of my own experiences with it, that i feel fans alike of FKA twigs, Janelle Monae , EarthGang, Flying lotus, Childish Gambino or those of Bjork, Kanye West, Lady Gaga , Lupe Fiasco, & Vince staples may resonate with...id like to share this with you by giving a warm welcome to my Channel to not only, like and subscribe but to comment with genuine feedback. (Please leave a comment there underneath the video and not here) as i would like for my listeners to feel welcomed to give more in thought than in clout and start a conversation which is what my subject matter is based on ..."Commentary on our shared world".In hopes that this may be fruitful to you i look forward to your response

      @@mishab4065 It's a bit difficult to define what genre exactly WEG is known for, but some people do actually classify as post-rock because of no vocals and some rock instrumentation too (as Simon Reynolds said that the genre is best described as "rock music using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords" in his review on Hex by Bark Psychosis, the first ever post-rock album that coined the term itself) but most of the stuff that he in fact has done from Farewell Kingdom to his most recent mini-album Meguri is described as a hybrid between glitch and modern classical because of classical instrumentation like violin and cello and simultaneous skipping and chopping that 65dos would incorporate in their music. The point is that his music is genreless at one point, because he actually reinvents itself at each album (e.g. Ending Story was a glitchy plunderphonics record with IDM touches on tracks 2 and 7. But when we get to Hurtbreak Wonderland, it sounds like a completely different artist but with the same glitchy spirit of his earlier works.) This guy is very difficult to get into, and some people (who are not into the glitch genre and his music overall) might find his glitchy mix with classical and post-rock annoying. If you really want a great introduction to this guy, check out his collaboration with Mono, they released a handful of albums that can be considered post-rock. But yeah I understand your point.

    One subgenre of music I've been into is jazz fusion. If you're into instrumental music, jazz fusion is essentially a blend of jazz and funk music. Probably the most foundational album in the subgenre is Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock, but I'd also recommend Heavy Weather by Weather Report. Chameleon (Head Hunters) and Birdland (Heavy Weather) are some of the most standout tracks jazz has to offer.

      @William Magee Oh I didn't say the albums were obscure in anyway. These albums were just the first ones that helped open my mind to new music when I first heard them. There is no right or wrong answers when it comes to music. It's all about the context of what you've heard before that determines what you're gonna enjoy.
      When it comes to free jazz I think Ascension is not a good choice to introduce someone to the genre. You'll have them running for the hills scared if they don't have context for that kind of music. If we are looking for albums from Coltrane Sun Ship and Transition would be great. They have a little bit more structure but are just as wild and free. Easier to grasp on to.
      But like I said before whatever the genre you can't really introduce it to someone by just listing your favorite albums and telling them to listen. Your music tastes changes organically over a long periods of time. All about context.
      Peace.

  • @samanteater
    @samanteater 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I'll throw in 5 of my favorite semi-obscure experimental albums that I think are good for beginners:
    Codeine- Frigid Stars LP (1990, slowcore)
    Slowcore was a subgenre of rock that developed adjacent to grunge and alt-rock in the late 80's and early 90's. It tackled many of the same nihilistic themes, but instead of the loud and unpolished sound of grunge, it used a slower, more atmospheric sonic pallette. This is my personal favorite slowcore record, mostly just for how crushingly sad it is. With how slow and lethargic the instrumentation can be, it really does portray the feeling of depression and not being able to move, while also being hauntingly beautiful at times.
    Boards of Canada- Music Has the Right to Children (1998, IDM)
    The mid to late 90's were a boom time for forward thinking electronica, the best of which came from Boards of Canada's 1998 debut. This album focuses less on dance rhythms and more on psychedelic soundscapes and catchy melodies. The repetitive song structures allow the production to almost put you in a trance.
    Dalek- From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots (2002, experimental hip hop)
    Dalek are basically the godfathers of industrial rap. One listen to this and you can trace the lineage of albums like Yeezus and The Money Store. The production is extremely eclectic, pulling inspiration from everything from metal to psychedelia, but my favorite aspect is the rapping. MC Dalek has a butter-smooth voice that he uses to deliver esoteric but well-crafted lines about things other rappers wouldn't even conceive of.
    The Caretaker- An Empty Bliss Beyond This World (2011, ambient)
    This album was based on a scientific study claiming that Alzheimer's patients could still remember the music they listened to when they were younger, as well as thoughts and feelings associated with that music, which might be the most unique album concept I've ever heard. It's basically a hauntingly beautiful sound collage of music from the 1930's and 40's. I'd also recommend Everywhere At the End of Time, which tackles similar themes, but it's a lot less accessible.
    Clipping- Splendor & Misery (2016, conscious hip hop)
    Clipping are best known for making grimey, industrial hip hop (the same kind Dalek makes), but on their sophomore effort, they get a bit more high-concept. Splendor & Misery follows the story of a runaway slave in the distant future, alone on a spacecraft drifting through the galaxy with nothing to guide him but his machine. The sparse production and theatrical rapping help to emphasize the album's dark and isolating atmosphere, while slave songs are sampled throughout the album to tie the past, present, and future together.

    let me hit you with some introductory metal albums for non-metalheads
    Carcass - Heartwork (Super accessible melodic death metal)
    Bathory - Self Titled (Probably the first bm album and still holds up. So fast and evil)
    City Morgue - Hell or Highwater v1/ (crazy intense hip hop and every release they're getting even more metal and extreme)
    Deafheaven - Sunbather (very pretty black metal :) )
    Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane (Melodic black metal, it's just good idk what to say)
    Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (spooky scary stoner metal)

    Great picks. Tricot is such a great introduction to Math Rock. Where I personally got into the genre through retroactively checking out Hella because of Death Grips and in effect w as s diving right into the less accessible version of the genre, I really appreciate the way Tricot takes all that complexity and technical ability but also has just as much Pop sensibility. It's definitely not easy to compose something so complex but also easy to pick up on first listen.
    Also, I think AE is one of the best introductions to experimental rap. It definitely has so much potential to give people a more out there experience with Rap while also rooting it in enough accessibility to make it more palatable than more overt exprriemtnal records.

Don't be afraid to listen to less popular or obscure albums like Medulla or Biophillia. Vulnicura is a personal favourite. Every album has something interesting. If POP music is your thing you can try Goldfrapp,Eivör, Sevdaliza, Roisin Murphy, Caroline Policheck.
