Internet site w/interesting music recommendations

a closer listen -
A HOME FOR INSTRUMENTAL AND EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC
http://acloserlisten.com

This is not a site for sampling music as provided by Spotify, Last, Pandora or even YouTube. Rather it contains many reviews of recordings in 7 different categories:
Ambient; Drone; Electronic; Experimental; Field Recording & Soundscape; Modern Composition; Rock, Post-rock, Folk, and Jazz,

The beauty part is reading about something intriguing and tracking it down on Spotify or elsewhere for a listen. Purchased the Jacaszek as a result of this process.

Based on my sampling of listings under Modern Composition, the choices seem pretty far off the beaten track.

Well worth a visit.

GREAT. Pleased by your response. Looked at your threads, Casey. Read the old RIP to Davy Graham. I did not know him. Will have to check him out. Thanks for your comments on the system. Hope you will discover some new music by way of A Closer Listen. Take care.

Glad it was helpful, Uberdine and Max. I'm in the same situation, Max. Listened
to a great New Music show followed by 'Hearts of Space' on Public Radio out of
NYC years ago. Later, living outside Phila, listened to WXPN. Got exposed to a
lot of new music from those stations. Moved and lost those inputs.
