I preferred Chris'n'Cosey, Treatment, Test Dept and Nurse with Wound myself I'd also add John Adams' 'Grand Pianola Music' and almost anything involving Holger Czukay and Ashkenazy's interpretations of Rachmaninov. I'm also fast becoming a fan of Ico Bukvic's music, I found his '1st Quartet' and 'Nebulae' particularly moving. Actually also come to think of it: Philip Khoutev's approach to Bulgarian Harmony Ivo Papsov's Bulgarian Wedding Band Stockhausen's 'Ceylon/Bird of Passage' - strangely listenable William Walton's 'Belshazzar's Feast' - magnificent Motorhead's 'No Sleep till Hammersmith' - now that's what I call funk! And that's just the highbrow stuff cheers tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
