Default The Identity Matrix Presents: The Genre Dive

I had an idea...

The Genre Dive




An idea to create a journal in which I document my explorations of genres new to me, or genres that I only have a surface level understanding of. Which means basically all of them. Think of this like a bunch of book reports. I'll listen to the essential albums of each genre that I explore and possibly go deeper if I enjoy it. This post will get updated with everything I do. That includes album reviews, genre descriptions, and anything else I can think of. I'll focus on one genre at a time and may even come back to them If I feel the need to. Hopefully this is as fun as I think it will be. I will gladly take recommendations as well as criticism of any piece of this project. Hopefully you can take some these self contained journeys with me.

I have listened to,

Torche, Black Tusk, Mastodon (Early), Baroness, Kylesa, and then a Melvins song here or there. I'll talk about it when we get there.

Plus I have a solid list to dive into.

I love that album too.

@TIM My synth recs are by composers rather than by synth bands.

Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe (1978)


Logic System - Logic (1981)
Japanese composer Hideki Matsutake
