Post-rock

Darkwave:            Dark (ethereal) ambient, Neofolk, Neoclassical, Post-industrial, (Power electronics, noise), Goth rock, ”goth shoegazer”, dark electronica.

Classical            Romantic period, Renaissance (with polyfonic singing) - medieval stuff with (many unknown/unnamed composers), some Baroque (Händel , Bach), Modern classical. I like classical that incorporates folk and has a folk spirit (favourite composers: Janácek, Chopin).

                    Symphonies, concertoes, piano music, string quartet/quintet pieces, vocal pieces

Post folk

Folk                 Lithuanian and Estonian, some Russian, some Nordic. All of the world is interesting though. But I mostly prefer when it is developed out of the traditional rather than being stricty traditional. But sometimes 100% traditional can be great. 

World/ethnic         I’m open to traditional stuff but I welcome development,

progressive ambitions. Brazillian pop can be nice if I’m in the mood.

Videogame Music:     mosty from the range 1980-1999.

genrers: avant-garde, classical, prog, symphonic –oriented

Lots of fantastic music. Some favourite composers : Hiroshi Tamawari

(Vandal Hearts 1-2), Aki Hata (Light Crusader), Hiroki Kikuta (Secret Of Mana) , Masanori Adachi & Souji taor (Castlevania IV), Raphael Gesqua (Fade to Black), Masami Ueda (Resident Evil), Paul Norman (Forbidden Forest), Junko Tamitani (Strider), Mark Cooksey (Storm Warrior and more), Akira Yamaoka (Silent hill 1-2)

Movie soundtracks         Not much. It can be anything, but typically symphonic or ambient or modern classical oriented.

Chill-out, electronica, downtempo      laid back music with a nice groove and vibe.

By the way, I haven’t explored soul very much but I do like soulfulness and the spiritual energy of gospel.

There’s no mention of blues but I definitely like the blues element

The same goes for ”rock” I suppose : )

And the same for jazz – I like elements of it, if incorporated into something new that isn’t just ”traditional”.

And...it’s unimportant that a band fits neatly into a genre. I’m naturally inclined to like stuff that’s hard to categorize.

I want to know more about the music of the 60’s and going backwards.....haven’t heard much!
