I'm an autistic faggot who wouldn't be able to find music made for me if it'd save my life. Please give a suggestion for a song or album that sounds like this:
https://youtu.be/UyJp0Z9spRM?is=4Ah7vxpUsbvkvikz

I'm assuming house would be the most relevant genre but when I check house music on YouTube and on rym top pics, they are all boring asf. The only other song I've found online that really compares is this old electronic latin song:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uI5FyU0W6ls&pp=iggUQAFKEGdBcXljOGkwMzc5bXVZcGk%3D

Also some advice on how to just find the good shit in general would be nice. I've dug through some hip hop, house, library music, metal and it's subgenres, jazz, funk, and citypop album; and video game osts are still what hold my heart. Idk why rym and YouTube recommendations just simply promote the albums and songs that are better than video game osts.

Your question is sadly too vague, but here are some very random releases (singles, albums) that share at least a little likeness to your examples. These may have some very challenging elements or sections, but bear them out, if you at least find something interesting in the rest. With time, you might grow to love contradiction as much as we.

If curious for more, rummage through the artist's label or genre.

It's worth mentioning that the appreciation for new music is rarely, if ever, immediate. Some albums take tens of listens before they can be grasped, especially if the genre is completely new to the ear. One reason why you might only appreciate these game soundtracks is because you repeatedly only ever listen to video game soundtracks. You've trapped yourself on a plebian loop.

>>131084575
I've repeatedly listened to some city pop, jazz, hip hop, and house pieces. Casiopea, galt macdermot, mf doom, deltron 3030, theo parrish, yusef Lateef, nujabes, piero piccioni, etc. But in the end, only a few songs from game osts stick to my head except maybe a couple songs here and there like solstice by Brian bennett
>>
>>131085295
>solstice by Brian bennett
Great track, which is not techno, BTW. It's cosmic disco, and very proggy. It's funny because the two examples in your OP are only slightly removed in style from that cosmic disco track. Along with cosmic disco, you should give the early wave of artists after Moog's invention a try, which you might like. Artists such as Kraftwerk, the already posted Perrey, also Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and Jarre. All great in very different ways.

As an aside, music just might not be an actual interest of yours. That's okay, you know? There's a whole world of fascinating things.

>>131085518
I get extremely spastic when I hear something that hits me the right way. I just want more songs that do that for me. Thx for the recs
>>
>>131085696
If you mean to say that you do actually enjoy this other music besides OSTs but that none of it excites you to the point of obsession, then I think that's actually pretty normal, but, again, it might be a sign that this isn't a suitable hobby for you. For example, my absolute favorites are like 100% engaging, but even a dumb song like this for me is like 90% of the way:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWFQx0gGXjs
It's not like 100% interest from those few very rare songs or albums, and then, say, 20% or even 50%, if this makes sense.

hard to suggest without knowing which specific aspects activate your autism
for stylistically/instrumentally similar stuff, look for late 80s/early 90s electronic dance music, especially mixed genre releases with acid house, italo house, breakbeat, etc.

808 State
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbDGDgPVA9Q
A Guy Called Gerald (percussion especially feels similar in places)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyM8GE8bAgA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TExx5RdWkLk

some other random house tracks with more melodic aspects and similar piano solo bits like that Quartz Quadrant track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_JVxEfweZo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFC885JzQHs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5mgSeEpn8E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa3b9hQqvHg

poppier stuff at the time that tapped into the acid house sounds, like say Technique-era New Order or Denki Groove, may fit the bill

also check out other stuff from the Sonic CD composers if you haven't
Naofumi Hataya has very distinctive solos in his work and did a lot of other soundtracks for Sega titles
https://youtu.be/LvJN7zK4q3Q?t=412
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1l44L30gH8

Plenty of Sonic CD-like stuff across other 90's PS1/N64/Saturn VGM as well obviously. 90s/00s tracker music archives may also be a good place to hunt for similar music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKHQW1BWjNM

RYM has good search tools and genre tagging. User lists there can also be insightful
For electronic music especially:
-DJ mixes for the genre/era of interest
-genre specialist youtube channels (eg. skunk-e-1 for jungle)
-other music on the same label
>>
>>131079961
why is that sonic song actually kinda dope?

Ive dug through a bunch of old game osts so I know some of the gems from the osts for autists. Unrelated to that track, but I also like these tracks from the PlayStation persona games

After listening to some more songs and game osts, I think what I specifically like is house music with a piano melody in it, especially one with some build up. I really like the capella everybody track you sent cuz of the melody in the middle of it. House without a melody like that is just too stale for me. A lotta game osts that I like have the atmosphere that I love in house tracks and have a build up to a piano melody I love.

Probably a combo of New Jack Swing and the 80s/early 90s house music that was big at the time. I don't know what the composer was listening to, but you'd maybe want to look up what Yuzo Koshiro was listening to at the time, since there's strong overlap in sensibilities. For that, check out Crystal Waters, Shanice, Nu Shooz, Soul II Soul, Enigma, Black Box, Caron Wheeler, and Maxi Priest, plus obvious stuff like Janet and Michael Jackson's New Jack Swing stuff.

Search for stuff in the same genre made in Japan specifically. Hate to be the 'thing, Japan' guy but there's just something unique about japanese music. You can tell a Rock, Rap, Jazz song has been made by a Japanese people even if there are no instrumentals.

You say house but you have to remember that house is a broad classification, kind of like rock.
You want something like UK House or Progressive House, and you want to be looking at stuff from the late 80's to mid 90's. Here's an example, also note the similarities between it and the Streets of Rage 1/2 soundtracks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zd0GMYblfs

Or just go here and dick around in the house tree until you find a sound you like:

>>131127597
I did actually try that but it was difficult to find the songs I really grab onto. Like 90% of the music I love is from Japanese video game ost producers lol
>>131127414
Has some pretty good tracks but imo persona 1 ost is a lot closer to what I'm looking for
