Lindstrom will bore you real quick. ;) As nice as his "Where You Go I Go Too" epic was, it all droned on a bit much. It didn't help that there were 4 samey movements (including a few by Prins ;D) of the theme.
Jody's latest Way Out There (part 1) gives you a quality dose of nu disco flava...but again, not necessarily anything all that new under the sun (evolution, not revolution). |

I haven't read the whole thread but can someone point me in the direction of some of this really good dubstep. I love me some Burial but haven't explored much else in the genre. And I never really liked what I've heard of DnB. |

I'm currently exploring nu jazz quite a bit, and I'll have to agree with this whole nu jazz/acid jazz/broken beat recommendation to some degree. It does sound creative with a lot of live instrumentation and techniques you just won't find in traditional EDM, however I think that this sound peaked around early 2000's, and even if some of the artists are extremely talented and capable of releasing fresh stuff even today, I don't think you can actually call it fresh at the moment.
Some of the finer albums of the genre I've found:
Jazzanova - In Between (this is like the staple of this whole movement, deep, jazzy and organic with some of the finest smooth vocals I've heard. Their second album is awful and nowhere near this one).
St Germain - Tourist (half a deep house, half an acid jazz album, contains some of the most memorable tunes you've probably already heard on the radio).
The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day (very similar to In Between, but more on the free improvisation side).
Bonobo - Dial 'M' For Monkey (little faster than his predecessor Animal Magic, but overall better. Huge number of both played and sampled live instruments, overall not as jazzy as other recommendations).
Jaga Jazzist - A Livingroom Hush (imaginative programmed and sometimes glitchy masterpiece that utilizes a vast number of brass instruments. Especially recommended for those who find Squarepusher too crazy). |

| The problem with jazz is its show-offy. And I'm not saying that its a bad thing. Theres definitly some talent definitly but I feel as if the instruments are just playing for themselves as if theres almost complete diversity and theres not a follow up per instrument besides the drum and bass. However sometimes the piano follows up well with the bass. And guitar if that is well added. But when there is a guitar and or a piano it might sound generic. But most of the time it sounds out of line and the instruments are played amongst themselves. |

yes, because the same power chords used over and over and over again in metal are much more crative then jazz.
I have a theory, guys we are being trolled by an alt. I'll give you a hint who i think it is.

Well its arguable that riff melodies in rock are more creative. But then again electric guitars were used in jazz so jazz used it first. However jazz is not as structured as metal or rock in general. Jazz has no boundaries which is the problem. |

i agree, i also think that there should be more 1/8th notes. |

I somewhat actually agree with this from my limited knowledge on the subject really.
I guess jazz, like classical... is liked by a lot of people and a lot of it just isn't going to be that good. Just have to look out for certain subgenres/artists and go around them. I definitely like a lot of very jazzy influenced things whether it be idm, idnb or deep house or jazz influenced metal for matter but not so much straight jazz. |
