Complex is great as long the music has rhythm, harmony, melodies,, dynamics, long short whatever, solos, improvisations and extras are also great and some passion and feeling is great too. The mood and the moment sometimes needs to be there to enjoy it more or enjoy it at all, and the car environment makes it a bit hard driving in the city over a highway. And in a car we tend to just want to, boom boom most of the time.


Some things simply are very hard to follow or impossible to get unless you listen to them over 30 times and even then, you wonder what the heck was this guy was on when they wrote that piece, then you come across people that loved it! and you wonder, why you did not enjoy it, or get it, even if you tried.

Try Miles Davis " The Bitches Brew" there are worse examples, what makes me bring this cd as an example is how popular it is among some musicians, I like the artist and can digest many of the other music he played, but this one I still can't even finish listening to it.


One of my favorite Al Dimeola CD's is Orange and Blue, it has beautiful music, melodies with harmony and perhaps a bit of spanish and Italian tones to it, it has a few background vocals. Not for everyone unless mellow fusion is a style some enjoy, and it is very different from his other amazing compositions.

That's a good one... pretty much the type of music that comprises most of my listening these days. Sounds like a chilled-out Disclosure. You'd probably also like Ryan Hemsworth, Jamie XX, the first SBTRKT, Jon Hopkins, Flume, Tourist, RUFUS, Caribou, Jacques Greene, SOHN, Banks, Chrome Sparks, Oceaan, Loston, some CHVRCHES and HAIM remixes, Jerome LOL, Saint PEPSI, etc, yeah? ;)

Twin Shadow's solo stuff is also good, albeit not exactly this genre.

a few off my mix disc. ;)






This one is just pure awesome sauce, in it's own right...





The width on this song is just ridiculous, at least for being a modern recording. Really big soundstage. And this dude's tone is just killer. Awesome song, too, if you pay attention to the lyrics. Produced by Pharrell, FWIW.
