New genres?
 

Im looking for a completely new genre to try, I used to listen to a lot of classical and classic rock, this last year I listened to a crapton of techno, Dubstep, bro step, and filthstep, now I'm delving into metal step and metal. I want something intense like metal and Dubstep, but at the same time I kinda want to try some more jazz and classical, anyone know any intense jazz or classical? Any other genre suggestions?

If you want some intense jazz, how about checking out a little Last Exit:

Try some Miles Davis for starters on jazz.

Whete the hepp do you start? I had never seen so many bold studio albums from a single artist on rateyourmusic until I typed in Miles Davis.

Start with Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew.

Yep also Cookin' ain't bad for starters either.

1. Bitches Brew
2. Kind of Blue

And do we really need any more genres?

Why not just pick one of these and then try and do something new and fresh with it?

My go-to rec for intense jazz, or jazz fusion:

My band does a whole new genre called "Social Science Funk"......well, I figured if there is a genre called "Math Rock", why not? ;)

Tommy Bolin :clap::clap::clap:

Intense jazz? Okay.

Peter Brötzmann Octet - The Complete Machine Gun Sessions
Manfred Schoof - European Echoes
Zu - Carboniferous
The Thing - Bag It!
Naked City - Torture Garden
Lean Left - Live at Cafe Oto

Those first two albums are the most violent records ever made.

And Jan!

Billy's no slouch either. An old friend who unfortunately passed away a few years back was at one of these shows in Central Park.

He said is was really hot and muggy and Cobham's roadie would come up between songs and douse him with a bucket of water to help him cool off.

Cobham was the first absolute monster drummer to come across my radar way back.

^^Pretty slick stuff.^^

Unmistakable style. I first sought him out after hearing Stratus on an old Guitar Center radio ad. Terry Bozzio is another. I saw him on the Jeff Beck Guitar Shop tour where SRV opened up the show. SRV killed, and Beck was awesome, but I was really impressed with the guy on the drums for Becks set, which I found out later he was from Zappa, and Missing Persons with his hot but freak of a wife.

I'd probably recommend some Blacklight Syndrome to the OP too. A little taste of some obscure fusion.

Alternative Hip-hop
 

Hi,

I'm a female lyricist who is creating a genre of music called alternative hip-hop which is a fusion of multiple genres including rock, pop, country, etc to make an interesting sound. My music embodies substance, evokes emotion, and is profanity free. Take a look at one of my singles, entitled Superman. You can search Superman-Teejay Johnson Ft Luke Rhodes on youtube. I'm looking forward to your feedback.

First off no promotion on here, secondly alt. hip-hop is already a huge thing, thirdly no.

The thread was made to introduce new genres to the original poster, correct? So if I suggest that he listens to someone else, isn't that promotion?

And yes alterntative hip-hop is a category, but I'm trying to redefine it. To revitalize it.

Also, I guarantee you didn't even listen to the song. And for you to come off so rude is just unnecessary. All I was trying to do was what the original post asked, to suggest new genres.

I listened to it. But the only way I'm going to tell you what I thought of it is if you listen to this entire album and then give me a five thousand word review. Chop chop.

If your ever looking for a good laugh, throw on some Hick Hop (Country Rap).

I'll listen to a song, because I enjoy supporting others but I will not listen to an entire album. But thanks for listening to it, I appreciate that.

Just this one then. It's my new single.

We should jam sometime Batlord.

I listened to it and I think the music is solid, but the quality of the recording doesn't do it justice. I love the eery BBW of the track.

I liked the way the banjo mixed with the Jewish harp on your song. Really excellent use of applied 5/6 timing on the overhead cockledrum too. Totally brought it to another level.

Here's some fairly intense music with classical and/or jazz elements.

I'll probably recommend some more stuff later, there's a fair bit more music I know of that may be relevant for this thread, but I think and hope this'll be satisfactory for now.

Great production. Not into rap at all though. I get it that people think that talking really fast and rhyming is considered a form of musical expression. Sure, it's an art form, but I'd like to see these same people grab an instrument and create a song in real time. Live improv-on-the-spot-go! kinda thing. Or even sing for that matter. Not saying you can't sing, but the odds are not in your favor based on the history of quite a few well known rap artists. Cool song though, and try not to be so spammy. People here really don't care for that ****. We're not your sheep.

...and why is that dude wearing a Superman shirt? He's not Superman.
