You should definitely check out "Hymnen" by Stockhausen... that and
"Gesang der Junglinge."
When I stumbled across these as a music history student back in '78, they
blew me away, completely reshaped my ideas about what music is and what
it can be. At the time I was coming out of a highly traditional,
"classical" music background, so the concepts were wildly new to me.
Although I think of this album as the foundation of my collection, I play
it only rarely. In part it's a preservation issue, but it's also
because of how personal it is. There are things that you want to
remember rather than repeat. But every time I listen to it, it is like
making that discovery all over again.
I know that's a lot of self indulgent sentimentalism, but hey, it works
for me... Besides, if you're going to get sentimental about something,
better Stockhausen then Styx...
