There is a Pitchfork plugin for Spotify, so you can read the review and click directly to the music which I've found pretty useful.

Electronic music similarly, I trace my own introductions back to my childhood listening to Thomas Dolby, even Vangelis , right through Einsturzende Neubaten, Deadstock, 808 State, FoL, Orbital, Eat Static, Orb, then deep house, and again other ambient, progressive techno ie Gas, Underworld etc.
I think really there are no real music fans or musicians (like many here I fall in both camps) who want to be 'seen' listening to stuff, unless they are very young and desperate to impress equally shallow fashionistas, that's a phase all teens go through on their rebel journey. It's simply a gateway and once through the gate music is a truly transcending art form, it's a language that breaks down barriers, a passion, and a discipline - and it surely deserves to be explored as fully as possible by anyone. If someone looked at my collection and said 'oooo you really try and be 'different' don't you? To them I would say - ' projection bias at it's finest'. I can't understand limiting music tastes any more than limiting food tastes.

One of the truest statements i've read on here for a while, music is music and getting hung up on genres and specifics is rather pointless.
Viva music…. 😀
internet radio and soundcloud for me
6Music (specifically Marc Riley and Cerys Matthews), Radio 3, XFM for normal pop music and the amazing selection at the world's best record shop, Piccadilly Records.
