I like those...never heard of the group... I don't follow pop-music much nowadays, but every now and then something good pops up, like a soap bubble from the foam.

Their genre is ’Trip hop, Indie rock, Psychedelic pop, Art Pop, Alternative/Indie` which might be why.. you like?
This track is equally good.. I’d love to see them Live ..and there’s not many artists or bands I’d say that about, save for those I see at boutique music festivals, out in the middle of nowhere.

I don't follow genres....if I like, I like. I can listen anything form cRap to classical, and from American country to Bulgarian folk.... It has to have heart.

Then why call it cRap? lol. I thought it meant that you hated rap.. I slightly amended my previous post, btw.

All jazz? some jazz can be pretty cool, especially old and rare groove orientated jazz..
Same with reggae.. tho I’m not it’s biggest fan, in that there are some hidden gems within the genre..
I really dislike Country and Western.. I’ve probably heard one or a few good ones, but that’s about it.. I find it dire.

I call it cRap because it is part of the American fArt industry....most of it is shyat...but you do find a few good ones. Not lately. Lately it's all shaaaayat.

Some of it good as ambience, background, to create a mood, not to sit and listen to.

Most of it is crap, like most pop-music is....but some are very emotional, and have good lyrics.....the old ones, 'specially. All the new shyat is like America...a pile of smelly faeces. Art reflects the culture it is produced in...if you can call Americanism a culture - its the culture of no culture...pop-sicle culture.

Music can be evaluated in the same way organic form or an organism can be evaluated. Its beauty a measure of tis symmetry and proportionality - in this case tonal, rhythms, dissonance between note sequences, etc.
Another way to evaluate the quality of music is, again, as how one would evaluate an organ ism or an individual belonging to a species, via how cerebral or instinctual it is - does it stimulate the mind or the body, and to what degree? cRap, for example is more base - it stimulates the physical, echoing the rhythms of the heart, metabolic rates, sexual impulses....etc. Classical, by contrast, is more cerebral, noetic, stimulating the mind more than the body.
The movement form body to mind or from mind to body, is what differentiates. This is also true of feminine and masculine ways of experiencing sexual arousal: For males the body is affected first, and then the mind is engaged, whereas for the female it is the mind that must be engages before the body. In sexual matters males are less sophisticated or cerebral, when compared with females. Females are sexually attracted to what is superior, so mental superiority is primary, and then physical superiority - proportionality and symmetry of mind before physical symmetry and proportionality. This adjusts to age - younger females are more physical, older females become more pragmatic. In all else the opposite is the case. Most females prefer the primal type of music, which gradually engages her higher cognitive functions. They love to dance, exhibiting their fertility.... and are more Dionysian. This is why the Apollonian is attractive to them.

Let's take Schopenhauer's insight that matter/energy are but notes in a cosmic symphony, so organisms are musical segments in a grander symphony, that never ends.
Matter, for example, is how the human brain translates, i.e., interprets, a particular vibration, oscillation, into a kind of matter/energy.... The division of matter/energy is in relation to the observer's metabolic rhythms; what is faster is interpreted as energy, what is slower as matter....liquidity being an intermediate type...eidos. Therefore, we can think of an individual as a specific musical segment....with different notes...

It all comes down to the quality of instruments that dominate a specific genre. cRap, for example, is drum-based - beats. Base, primal....simple instrument creating simple sounds, yet very intimate, visceral, sounds...and so it attracts the base, the primal, the simple, individuals dominated by libido, or physicality etc.
Classical has more intricate sounds, like melodies, because it is dominated by more sophisticated instruments.
These days, I pretty-much get all my new music-input from TikTok, and so pick-up on the mood and feels currently out there.. over-sexualised much? but, then again, we are a planet under lockdown and minimal contact.. though I have found some great gems on there, from various creative profiles. I too tend to listen to whatever I stumble across, that I like the sound of.

..not strictly jazz, but a favourite jazz track of mine and still relevant to this day. Jazzy Jeff has this amazingly inventive track out, but it’s nowhere to be found on the web. : ( He’s now amongst the worlds top greatest DJs out there.. like a god.. for god is a DJ, as Faithless once sang.
I’m not a Zappa fan either.. too much going on in his tracks, for my kinda brain.. though I’m not averse to the loud and the noisy, but not that kinda loud and noisy.

A couple a modern offerings for ya.. the second one is especially pleasing to my tastes and is the current sound of modern reggae coming out of Jamaica.

I knew America had to do something about the state of their current affairs.. and sooner rather than later, but not like this/like they have. The black/white divide is a chasm, which the mixed tend to stay out of and let them get on with it.
Explicit music, semi-nudity abounding, and no homogeny as a Nation. The UK did the whole ‘sex sells’ thing in the 80s, but I think that America has over-embraced it.. and that’s an understatement/putting it very mildly indeed. The WAP, lol.. even kids are singing That’s A Wap, without knowing what it means.
