I need something fresh. Help out a burn-out music fan!

Heya, /r/LetsTalkMusic!

So. For many years I've been a fan of electronic music, especially IDM or ambient. I love music when it's clever and shows intelligence in its construction, but also when it is warm and human. Examples of my favorites include Aphex Twin (quirky, lots of personality and brilliance), Four Tet (very warm and organic) and Akufen.

But lately, I dunno... Nothing excites me anymore.

I don't know if it's because I'm not finding the new electronic trend to latch onto, or if I'm just burning out of the genre. I've tried listening to some classic jazz, and although I love Coltrane and Davis, I keep getting drawn back to electronic, even though I'm growing dissatisfied with it.

Any advice? Any suggestions, whether in the genre, or completely outside? I'm a very open-minded music listener, and I love stuff that challenges me.
