Here are a couple off the top of my head. You can pick them both up on Qobuz for better sound quality. Hope you enjoy!

I hear new and/or obscure music virtually everyday with my local university student run FM radio station, this my favorite resource for this music. DJ's generally have one hour time segments, have their own playlists so wide ranging of genres. Just last few weeks new artists to me include Sasha Bell, Ben Rau, Riva Starr, Don Partridge, Daniel Rossen, Savath & Savalas, Fally Ipupa, SKALD, Dorothy Ashby, Labi Siffre, Miss Rayon, and so many more. These all new artists, have also heard oldie bands new to me or haven't listened to in years, I could go on and on with this list. |
I peruse the Quboz Latest Releases, Acclaimed by the press, selected by Quboz, also Quboz playlists. and the back of Stereophile and the Absolute Sound. Audio buddies send me recommendations, and there are thousands of internet radio stations on Quboz by country and genre, and the AllMusic website chooses recommendations based on my interest. In general I'm about two clicks from my next find. |
Not typical 'beat music' Both deep bass and treble. Rather obscure/ambient Alva Noto - HYbr:ID p-dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aPFamtbPtE Yosi Horikawa - bubbles. Obsure and incredibly well recorded off the album 'Wandering'. Senking - Black ice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFXcQvdAe08 All time favorite is Laurie Anderson with Lou Reid. 'Bright red". Brian Eno. Excellent recording, thought provoking. Brilliant.

These music is very therapeutic... It is like an anti-stress drug with no secondary effects...When we are really down, we need something stronger than "music" a recipe designed by Jonathan Goldman genius (even Bach or Mozart dont work for some very anxiety or panic stress): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJRpoUk-mpU&t=110s
If you are healthy it will be of no use probably because the one minute and few seconds mantra is repeated... But if you are in distress it will takes between 15 and 25 minutes to put you out the extreme stress state... I used it since 30 years.. Other musics created by Goldman did not compared for the therapeutic effect in my opinion they are more 2relaxing music" but if in a panic attack we need more than relaxing... Among all music i tried this is the most efficient... The effect exist even after 30 years repetition regularly ... it is best to hear it on a good sound system because of the subtle frequencies used here ....

Lately I have been approaching this from a different angle. I've been identifying the recording engineers on bodies of music I usually like and then using Roon to delve into more of their recordings. Here are a few names to get started. Rudy Van Gelder (Blue Note, Prestige), Fred Plaut (Columbia), Morten Lindberg (2L Records) Joe Boyd (Elektra, Island and actually he's a producer), Roy Goodman (RCA), Val Valentin (MGM and Verve). Try this and let me know if it pays off for you. |
Well this might just be new to you. Was just playing the Japanese pressing of The Payback, the 37th studio album by James Brown. The album was released in December 1973. I'm sure if the title track were released today, it would be a hit on a few different charts. Lots of good tracks in over an hour of music. But that title tract is James at his finest. IMHO |
To my tastes, new and old: Triumvirat Caravan Duke Jupiter Riverside Pierre Moelen's Gong Lunatic soul OSI Bats for lashes Randy Pie Good rats Magma Umphrey's McGee Yello Nectar A perfect circle Kevin Ayers Infected mushroom Zenzile Puscifer The Motet Caravan Palace Jazzraush Bigband A certain ratio Who made who Jacob Bellens Tempest Air Kasper Bjorke And I will spare you french speaking music which there are plenty.

@manhattan1 have you heard Mark Isham's Vapor Drawings. I'm not partial to trumpet either, but this is a good record. |
@baylinor I've heard of less than half of the people you mentioned (really like caravan). So there are quite a few I can look into. Thanks |
If someone try just for new music try India music... It is as sophisticated as West music with magnificent rythms... Or try African music...I recommended Yoruba talking drums... Also Persia created stunning music... Turkey too ... China can be surprising ... Add to American jazz world jazz... I like Fado... Did you ever listen to this Portuguese guitar and singing tradition?
I like also a lot Russian musicians and choral songs... As reveal my avatar... Nothing beat an octavist....

Please don’t spare us French-speaking music :) La Femme Christophe Hante. / Minuit Machine Cortex Limousine Mandy Indiana (though technically a British band) Rue Oberkampf (though technically a German band) Éric Lapointe (I know, I know, but the voice on that guy!) Charlotte Gainsbourg Serge Gainsbourg, up to a certain point in his career DJ Solaar And the best lyricist of all: Jacques Brel

Interesting. Reading your post I realize that, with the exception of Barbara, these singers tended to put message ahead of music, the latter often consisting of simple acoustic guitar strumming. I doubt Georges Brassens knew more than three chords 😃 Ok, maybe I exaggerate. A little This is a French musical genre whose heart is, I think, closer to spoken word and poetry than to musical performance, and there is a lot of writing talent among them. Barbara was great. @baylinor yes, Nino Ferrer, a thousand times. Such a loss he chose to end his days. |
You are right for Brassens who was the poet rapper of my childhood... Pure rebellious but amicable simple poetry like Villon in his times... You are wrong for Barbara whose melody are sometimes beautiful... You are dead wrong for Ferré whose poetry of Verlaine,Rimbaud,Baudelaire put in music was almost symphonic... Ferré studied music and even directed orchestra at Monaco... I listen to him now for 62 years, he is the only male singer i listened to...( i adore Louis Armstrong) I prefer to most popular singing classical, jazz and world music... I am in love with choral music and lieds...(few operas) I apologise to correct you. Dont takes it badly i appreciated your posts... My best to you ...

I've 'discovered' several artist that aren't that well known in the Northern hemisphere when watching TV - sound tracks from shows made in Australia and New Zealand, for instance that aren't at all well known in North America. People like Anika Moa, Carla Werner, Megan Harwood, and Mel Parsons. There is a lot of very good but little known music (here in North America) happening out there. |
+100, mmhm, I refer to them as the crappers....sitting on the crapper, talking into a .microphone (vocal talent nil as well), thinking he/she’s all that, hiding a complete lack of talent behind ’the message’ apparently (bullsh)....could appeal to the minds of some simpletons, I suppose.

Brassens is considered a poet in the french culture... Anybody unable to appreciate his texts because unable to understand French poetry must stay mute about what he could not understand and could have none informed intelligent opinion about...
The troll deep33 stalking me dont think so and as usual, if he dont like something he post insults..
