Beautiful piano suites by Handel, perhaps written for teaching students.
File: Classical composer: Handel
Three fairly long avant-garde works for violin and piano. Trk 3 more accessible. Lots of silence.
File: Classical/avant-garde composer: Rihm
Very interesting contemporary works for small ensemble (mostly) lyrical but not completely. Try 2, 4, 5-8, 10.
File: Classical composer: Bellafronte
Interesting mix of organ works (some written for or arranged by the organist) old and new. Very nice sound. This organ is considered architecturally and sonically unique and took over a year to build and tune. Try 1, 6, 8, 9.
File: Classical collections: Bull
Highly lyrical works for flute solo or with harp, guitar, piano, etc. Play all!
File: Classical composer: Scott
Film score by jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard (not jazz) for movie about the black Tuskegee Airmen in WW II. Some original period pieces as well.
File: Soundtrack: Red Tails
Listening to Rad Times Xpress IV sends you right onto the locomotive, psychedelic, disco, multi-colored trip that reminds me of all the climax scenes in the adult swim show Super Jail. It may be slightly due to the album art but with a good set of headphones Black Banana's is able to fill a lot of dimensions. An interesting mix of 80's rock and roll, psychedelic, and some synth and vocoder and a little bit of tude. The lyrics drip with biker chick coarseness and drug savvy tributes.
