Looking for new genres...


Looking to add something new to my CD collection,.. to meet new genres. What could match the following criterias: to be Music with capital letter, but not to belong directly to Jazz, Blues, Classics, or Folk (derivatives are acceptable)?
For example: MA has several recordings, which originally are folk-based, but in reality are too complex and rich musical pieces to be called Folk. Another thing would be "Requiem for my friend" by Preisner - beautiful and modern work, nicely derived from Classics but isn't belonging to it...
Do you have anything like those?..

Thanks guys, great recommendations. I'm quite familiar with World music, especially with its Celtic stream, didn't listed it assuming it's a subclass of Folk. I guess I'm looking for kind of 'upgraded' world music, something like Peter Gabriel's 'Passion', with high level of emotional and structural complexity...
Neoclassics is new for me, and I really liked John Tavener, Arvo Part, have to try others yet. Just curious how good is the last Tavener's CD from RR? And, in general, which their CDs to start from?
