I have been recently been listening to alot of classically influenced music, and dear god. I have been missing out on so much.
I really don't care for classical music in and of itself, but music that has classical influences in it, are god damned amazing.
I recently picked up a copy of Green Carnation - Light of Day; Day of Darkness, and I can honestly say, Tchort is the single greatest composer of out time.
The album is such a great display of how music doesn't have to have that catchy hook to it, and is so damned artistic it has a baby crying at the beginging and end.
So yeah ... which albums do you feel transend the daily demands of "music" and become true art?
