When was the last time you found piece that didn’t match your usual listening habits, but ended up liking it? How did you come accross it?
My taste has been mostly rock, metal and certain kinds of electroic music, but
Fallout introduced me to Billie Holiday
Youtube channel Inside the Score got me started on classical music, like actually listening and enjoying Beethoven, Sibelius and Dvorak and going even to a concert instead of just knowing the bits you can not avoid.
The jazz covers of Phoenix Wright music, especially The Dark Fragrance of Coffee, got me seeking for more of similar style.
The first time I heard this song

I was blown away at how insane it is, like how could anyone ever make something like this at all is bewildering to me. The song structure and sounds didn’t even make sense to me at first.
But now this genre of music is the thing I love the most. This song is my absolute favorite of all time.
