Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

OP  "...Where would you start the forum and what would you call it?..."

Honestly, I would not start a forum on the subject unless it was by invitation only. Only allow folks that were fairly well informed, thoughtful, and actually curious. Otherwise you get the crazies from both extremes and just becomes chaos. 

Much conflict  is the result of generalizations. Big ones make for big misunderstanding.

Here a real issue is how general equal is without specifics. It means the same... but unspecified it is a grenade. So, use the word and one person thinks power one thinks intelligence... or one height and one strength... etc. Women are clearly not the same... just look at a man and a women... do they look the same? Do they both bear children. So all this discussion is about specific generalized attributes. Power, leadership, etc. I would imagine one could have more meaningful... obviously not here... discussions on individual attributes. 

I am so engulfed in new and amazing music it is hard to listen to relisten to anything. I just add to my library and go on...then find more. 

I loved Jazz, world, classical, rock, and electronic before streaming.  So, often looking at new releases on Qobuz nets a great album just from the cover.

While painting and listening to my headphone system I often listen to 1.fm Chllout Lounge, ON - Chillout Radio and Radio Paradise -Eclectric Mix FLAC. I get lost in these... the innovation of sounds and beats. My headphone system is magical and presents them in a warm natural and incredibly powerful way. I can listen for hours.
