I believe Frown has already shown me this album a while ago. I recognized the first track instantly and I remember thinking it wasn't a bad album.

Should I mention classical or is that too obvious?
And what about country or folk? Irish trad?

I didn't rule them out, so they're all cool if you have some recs that you think I really need in my life.

Then I'll rec this. Not to sound like anyone who knows this ****, but it's still cool.

If you've literally never heard any classical before, there's so much but I'm going to start off with this, though I'm assuming you may have heard some of it already (surely "Mars" if nothing else?) - worth listening to all the way through though. I'll be back with more, but it's bedtime for Karen so I must away.

Arnold Schoenberg is a brilliant composer, he wrote my favourite song if you haven't already listened to it because I mention it a lot.

Spoiler for Verklarte Nacht - Op. 4:

John Cage is probably my favourite composer, but he's not always accessible. I would recommend reading his writings and listening to the songs that he discusses as you come upon them. While I love what his music sounds like, I appreciate his writing about the philosophy of his [sic] music more.

Spoiler for Credo In Us:

John Zorn composes some frantic and haunting classical music.

Spoiler for The Alchemist:

I think you may need some Hindustani (Indian classical music from the North of India) music in your life. It’s probably the only genre other than metal and flamenco that I listen to most days. Search out sitar player Pandit Nikhil Banerjee - he has tons of albums and they will often list the rags and tal (rhythm cycle) he is playing - once you get to know the ragas and tals your appreciation will increase immensely.

oh as for recs,

alt-country

avant-folk

post-hardcore (gotta be picky with the genre, half of it sucks)
