1	Solo Piano (1989) more music like this by Philip Glass add to wishlist see all copies from $7.95! new only from $7.95!
2	John Rutter Christmas Album (2002) more music like this by Cambridge Singers/City of London Sinfonia/John Rutter add to wishlist see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
3	Music for 18 Musicians (1998) more music like this by Steve Reich & Ensemble Modern add to wishlist After Reich's initial experiments with phase music, he moved on to exploring pulse -- music that had no relation to melody, but would repeat phrases of either one or several notes, increasing then decreasing in volume as long as the musician had the stamina. When repeated with several musicians playing around one key and starting them off at ... see all copies from $11.39! new only from $11.39!
4	Music Romance, Vol. 2: Taboo & Exile (1999) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Like the first volume of the series, Music Romance, Volume Two: Taboo and Exile deals with issues of lost innocence. The first of the Music Romance series had more overt references to childhood, with lengthy literary references and a title which gave it all away: Music for Children. Here the images are a little bit more subtle and a lot darker. ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $11.01!
5	Threepenny Opera [RCA] (1999) more music like this by Kurt Weill/Raabe/Gruber/Hagen/Ensemble Modern add to wishlist see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.59!
6	Celebration (Christmas Fanfares & Carols) (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Celebration (Christmas Fanfares & Carols) is a collection of carols and readings performed by the BBC Welsh Choir. This is a recording from a BBC broadcast but, despite being a live recording, it sounds great. The choir is marvelous, performing beautiful renditions that reflect the ethereal nature of these songs. The readings (by Aled Jones) are ... see all copies from $3.52! new only from $5.00!
7	Lumpy Gravy (1968) more music like this by Frank Zappa add to wishlist Lumpy Gravy, Frank Zappa's first solo album, was released months before the Mothers of Invention's third LP (even though its back cover asked the question: "Is this phase two of We're Only in It for the Money?") and both were conceptualized and recorded at the same time. We're Only in It for the Money became a song-oriented anti-flower power album ... see all copies from $7.06! new only from $7.06!
8	Litany (1996) more music like this by Arvo Pärt add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.85!
9	Requiem (1997) more music like this by John Rutter & Turtle Crew add to wishlist see all copies from $6.35! new only from $12.88!
10	A Clockwork Orange (1972) more music like this by Wendy Carlos add to wishlist Even before Carlos knew of a film project concerning A Clockwork Orange, the composer had begun work on a composition (Timesteps) based on the book. It's the best piece of music in the score (and one of the most famed in the early history of electronic music), fitting in well next to late-'60s minimalist works by Terry Riley as well as the ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $11.58!
11	Requiem for Adam (2001) more music like this by Terry Riley & The Kronos Quartet add to wishlist This may be the single most powerful piece of music that the Kronos Quartet has ever recorded, and perhaps that Terry Riley has ever written. This is because Requiem for Adam is so personal, so direct, and experiential. Requiem for Adam was written after the death of Kronos violinist David Harrignton's son. He died, in 1995, at the age of 16, from ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $13.49!
12	Ahn-Plugged (2000) more music like this by Ahn Trio add to wishlist This eclectic collection spotlights the talents of these three Ahn sisters, all virtuosos on their respective instruments. Pieces range from the stuffy highbrow (like Bernstein's "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano") to the pop instrumental (specifically, Eric Awazen's "Diamond World"). Augmented on many tracks by percussionists Matthew Gold and ... see all copies from $5.89! new only from $14.78!
13	Olde English Madrigals & Folk Songs at Ely Cathedral (1984) more music like this by John Rutter & The Cambridge Singers add to wishlist see all copies from $4.74! new only from $6.19!
14	Burnt Weeny Sandwich (1970) more music like this by The Mothers of Invention add to wishlist Burnt Weeny Sandwich is the first of two albums by the Mothers of Invention that Frank Zappa released in 1970, after he had disbanded the original lineup. While Weasels Ripped My Flesh focuses on complex material and improvised stage madness, this collection of studio and live recordings summarizes the leader's various interests and influences at ... see all copies from $7.06! new only from $7.06!
15	More Moondog/The Story of Moondog (1992) more music like this by Moondog add to wishlist CD re-issues of two lp's on the Prestige label from 1956 and 1957. Moondog on the street and everywhere else. The sources in everyday life with music and life blending as a whole. A soundtrack to spur the imagination. Contains: Softshoe and Hardshoe (7/4), a duet with The Queen Elizabeth Whistle And Bamboo Pipe, Ostrich Feathers Played on Drums, ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
16	Elegy (1995) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Another smeared blossoming testament to the off-color and highly obtuse genius of John Zorn. A mostly minimalist and sparse landscape of sheer terror and spine-ripping controlled noise explosion. One of the highlights of the album is its wealth of renowned guest artists, most recognizably including Mike Patton and Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle fame ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
17	Gershwin: Complete Works for Piano and Orchestra (1999) more music like this by EOS Orchestra of New York/Michael Boriskin add to wishlist see all copies from $2.84! new only from $8.08!
18	Semi-Formal (2005) more music like this by The Claudia Quintet add to wishlist The Claudia Quintet utilize unusual rhythmic patterns, creative repetitions, and such instruments as accordion, vibes, and clarinet to create a dramatic set of music. As much a soundtrack for a nonexistent movie as it is a jazz set, the music on Semi-Formal is quite cinematic, moody, and thoroughly intriguing. Although some of the individual ... see all copies from $9.49! new only from $13.70!
19	Groovebox (2002) more music like this by Ahn Trio add to wishlist see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!
20	György Kurtág: Játékok (2000) more music like this by Gyorgy Kurtag add to wishlist see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
21	Ulysses' Gaze (1995) more music like this by Eleni Karaindrou add to wishlist Eleni Karaindrou's long, fruitful partnership with Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos has given birth to several scores for his award-winning films. However, perhaps no previous Karaindrou score contains the evocative power of her compositions for Ulysses' Gaze, the film about memory, artistic quests, and war that won the Grand Prix du Jury at the ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
22	The Desert Music (1985) more music like this by Steve Reich add to wishlist This hour-long work, commissioned by West German Radio and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, marks a transitional period for Reich. Based in the rhythmic pulse of Music for 18 Musicians, he adds a text by William Carlos Williams (sung by a full chorus), uses the more traditional sounds of a full orchestra (strings and brass are suddenly prominent), ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.39!
23	ER (2005) more music like this by Nils Petter Molvær add to wishlist Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær made his small mark on fans and critics alike in the United States with his fine pair of ECM recordings. After a couple of years working in Europe, he returned to the release scene in the U.S. with An American Compilation in June of 2006. That disc was a selection of tracks from this album, his remix disc, ... see all copies from $15.11! new only from $15.49!
24	Feel the Spirit (2001) more music like this by John Rutter add to wishlist see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!
25	Vladimír Godár: Mater (2006) more music like this by Iva Bittová add to wishlist see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
