After some time I understood this is not easy and simply requires hard work (also, the YT algorithm that worked well in the past simply shows me the same songs I listened to many times).
So once a few months I put away some time for that, usually a few hours, and go through my favorite section on Israbox, checking every album in it. I disregard 95% straight away. Usually it is enough to hear the first notes to understand, sometimes I listen for a couple of minutes. The result of these couple of hours is 1, 2, maximum 3 albums I choose. Often VA: it is more and more difficult to find artists who manage to be creative enough so that all songs in their album don't sound the same while preserving their individual spirit.
Years ago, I would do similar work in a music store, every month on Saturday once I got my paycheck. And I would look forward to this "discovery Saturday" knowing there will be a lot of disappointment but also, mist likely, a satisfying surprise.
