Ah! Many amazing recommendations, alie?

Peter Broderick is definitely one to check out! Home is amazing - though it's not Modern Classical - acoustic brilliance. I uploaded this to YouTube recently:

Float is amazing though; get Float! I'd love to ramble on now about all the phenomenal track on the album.

Philip Glass is another quality recommendation. The first time I heard Metamorphosis Two I think I felt like I was on another planet. I listened to the album in the hope that there'd be at least one amazing track on there. Imagine my suprised when I encounter both Metomorphosis Two and Mad Rush :o!

Bersarin Quartett did a pretty cool self titled album. Can't miss out on Max Richter's The Blue Notebooks though.
