Emancipator - Soon It Will Be Cold Enough

Hints of jazz, electronica, trip-hop and down-tempo, various samples and the occasional female voice.
Emancipator himself states, “ …instrumentation on the album was either played and recorded by myself, or was programmed from scratch using individual ‘oneshots,’ which are basically just recordings of single notes being played. Many of the melodies or bass lines were constructed in this way – by pitch shifting and moving around individual sounds like sound legos.”

Swans - Cop

It somehow seems fitting that everyone in the current line-up looks like
a) a minor character in an original Cohen brothers movie or;
b) a minor character in a Cohen brothers adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel.

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians

The piece is based around a cycle of eleven chords. A small piece of music is based around each chord, and the piece returns to the original cycle at the end. The sections are aptly named "Pulses", and Section I-XI. This was Reich's first attempt at writing for larger ensembles, and the extension of performers resulted in a deeply mesmerizing soundscape. Another important factor in the piece is the use of human breath, used in the clarinets and voices, which help structure and bring a pulse to the piece. The player plays the pulsing note for as long as he can hold it, while each chord is melodically deconstructed by the ensemble, along with augmentation of the notes held.
The World Premiere was presented April 1976 at Town Hall, NYC, the European Premiere, October 1976 at the Metamusik Festival, Berlin.

Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks (2004)

A meld of electronic and classical music, complemented through a heavy use of “found sounds”, Richter refers to his style as “post-Classical”.

Throughout the album, a woman (Tilda Swinton) reads various passages from Kafka's "The Blue Octavo Notebooks."

When Twin Peaks took off, the album became more or less its unofficial soundtrack thanks to the instrumental adaptation of "Falling" that served as the theme song.

Root 70 - Heaps Dub

Now this is a reversal: instead of a jazz band having its tunes reworked, spindled, shredded, and aborted by remixers, here the members of a bona fide jazz quartet take the liberty of rearranging and recording their favorite tunes from Flanger and Burnt Friedman & the Nu Dub Players using an acoustic jazz approach. But that's only part of the twist: after all of the mighty chart arrangements and harmonic possibilities are worked out for trombone, saxophone, bass, and drums, they get dubbed over in a final mix by Burnt Friedman himself! Uh-huh, jazz mischief of the highest order.
sparse, tight, rhythmically compelling future noir jazz.
