5/5 To Every Composer Sporting A Powdered Wig

You guys probably already have all of this but I just made this post on a local board and I guess I'll just copy and paste it here

Absolutely monumental work. Each piece is sung in Polish from texts dealing with seperation, the most startling and heartbreaking of them being the second piece, which was found scribbled on the wall in a concentration camp by a Polish Jewish mother as a parting message to her son.

Everyone needs sum Philip Glass.

Say what you will about the movie, but the soundtrack is still the best stand-alone OST that I've ever heard. Ranges from brooding ambient, soaring post-rock, to minimalist Erik Satie/Philip Glass-ish piano pieces.

Perfect rainy day music.

Mindfuck of an album. Slowly transforming minimalist music. It relies on the same motif for its entire 58 minute duration, but it's way more accessible than that sounds. Manages to remain entertaining throughout and there are always new impressive melodies popping up. I wish I was technically savvy enough to be able to admire all the experimentation with "rhythmic patterns" and "tonal cycles" but frankly you don't need to know any of that shit to think this is awesome.
