This is one of my fav albums ever made. I am a pop punk and Midwest emo guy that’s my genre of music. But in 2019 I got kinda in to electronic music. I’m very very picky about what I like in this genre. I like ambient the most. This album is genius imo. I love how it can be relaxing and also thought provoking and scary at the same time. I love to drive to this album cause it just relaxes me and helps me focus on the road. #3 is a top 20 song of all time for me and #20 is a top 50 song of all time for me. I like Aphex Twin but imo none of his other albums are even close to as good as this one.

What are your thoughts on this album.

Just sharing that I love this song!

So I'm absolutely a big music listener, I listen to a lot of music of different genres and I also like playing and studying music by itself.

I'll just make a brief list of my latest listening so maybe you'll know what to suggest to me:

- post hardcore (fugazi, at the drive in, gospel, slint ecc.)

- emo/hardcore (have heart, title fight, brand new, Dillinger escape plan, skruigners ecc.)

- folk (Elliot Smith, jason molina, comus, Bill Callahan ecc.)

- prof metal (gojira, tool, mastodon ecc.)

- jazz and jazz rock (John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Charles Mingus, Cannonball Adderley, Geordie Geep, Morphine ecc.)

- grunge (other than the classic ones, failure, stone temple pilots, mark lanegan, modest mouse)

- dance punk revival (Viagra boys, idles, Sleaford mods ecc.)

- experimental hip hop (Danny brown, McKinley Dixon, billy woods, jpegmafia ecc.)

So I guess that's a decent list, as y'all can see I'm open to listening to really different things, and probably y'all know better than me, based on the things I like, what would I like in the electronic music universe.

Thanks to anyone that will help me and suggest things to me in advance :)

I had a rough life. I’ve really been in this era of life where I’ve made a lot of changes and I’ve done a lot of work and I’m single and in my early 30s and I’m stable with good income. So I’ve been doing a lot of self exploration and discovery along the way and feel like I’m finally hitting peak.

Well during this time I’ve discovered I love it. I thought I hated it because I don’t like dubstep or hardstyle and that’s all I’d ever heard. But when I went to Coachella this year there were a lot of DJs so I did some exploration and wow thought it was really fun to untz untz.

I have since went to a Chris Lake set and just went to Solomun last night and both of those sets were just…amazing experiences. At both of these sets, I felt like the music was just taking over my body. Especially with the Solomun set. It was a music experience whereas the Chris Lake set was straight fucking vibes.

To be completely immersed in the experience of feeling the bass and all of the different rhythms and omg it’s just like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my life. It makes me feel free and liberated and empowered and sexy and sensual and excited and like I’m just alive again. IT IS SO FUCKING FUN!!! Like I feel happy and giggly and I jump and I put my hands up and I dance as crazy as I want to. Completely sober mind you.

It is everything that I feel in life coming together when I get to dance to this music and I just love the vibes. I love going bat shit crazy on the dance floor around a ton of other people who are doing the same. I get to be my full complete self and I end up meeting people who I Hella vibe with and who love my energy exactly as it is. I am making so many friends along the way after a period of time in life where I had to let go of almost every friend I had.

It is honestly just a really amazing experience for me for where I’m at this point in life and it feels like it’s helping me move so much energy out of my nervous system system and to just release pent-up shit. I have never in my life been able to connect to the present so much and just be exactly where I’m at and dance my ass off for hours. Did anyone else have an experience like this?

TLDR; I went through a lot and really lost myself but dancing to EDM is making me feel so incredibly alive again and helping me make friends after a period of transformation in life

Per the title.
