- Ethereal loviness.
*Best track off the album

Gonzales: Solo Piano
- Everyone must know this guy!
*Most famous track

This album presents a few different sides of London based duo Regolith. Dave Graham and Graeme Ross have been experimenting for years and on this album take the us from solo piano, through treated instruments, power electronics, to geological guitar work and glacial drones. The album is an attempt to find the perfect mix between composition and sonic sculpture, where orchestral arrangements merge with subtle electronic textures. It has been described as tumbling in slow motion through different weathers.
also Maxence Cyrin's piano versions of electronic music classics

Takemitsu
Penderecki
Michael Torke
Persichetti
all worth a Google if you want something that will challenge you. There's some great shit out there....
or peeps like Stravinsky, Lennox Berkely, Richard Strauss if you want something C20th but less abstract.

Arvo Part - Estonian minimalist composer, check out "Cantus in Memoriam of Benjamin Britten"
Johann Johannsson - Icelandic eclectic romantic composer, check out his suite "Fordlandia"
Ned Rorem - American Neo-Romanticist composer, check out his 1st Symphony
I have yet to find other modern composers that beat the above three.

I won't bother trying to communicate how beautiful/sublime these works are as I couldn't possibly do them justice - Boomkat has a better crack at it.
Listen to the samples!

Glad people are feeling! Thought I'd throw in a few classical guys:
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis
- English composer who based alot of his work on English Renaissance coral work and hymns, sounds corny but the melodies are BIG!
* Breakdown at 2:30
HERE
Michael Galasso: Angkor Wat Finale
- Film Scores, avant-garde, this guy does the lot.
* IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE classic
HERE
More later!
