A jazz classic by possibly the most innovative voice of avant garde phrasing. Many considered him to be an oddity based on his condition, but his unique voice allowed him to reach in and bring out what many haven't been able to.

One of the most touching albums I own. Goes straight to your soul. His score for Keislowski's "Dekalogue" is also amazing.

Peter Steele was excellent at mixing classic pop rock sensibilities and impeccable production skills into a 90s metal scene that lacked elements of honest male sensitivity.

Lush layers of beautifully chaotic guitar with Jarboe lending a floating voice over the crushing waves.

Certain ambient music artists have the ability to reach the listener on a cellular level with sound vibrations -- Harold Budd is one of those few. The second disc in this set containing the remix of "As Long As I Can Hold My Breath", which adds meditative length to the original version, making it one of my favorite songs ever

The political awareness of punk and brutality of extreme metal. Produced by the forefather of nu-metal, Ross Robinson, this is the type of music that the genre should've been compromised of instead of what got barfed out in the 2000s with Disturbed, Seether and the like. Also, this is one of the few "world music hybrid" albums made in harmony with the musical Other involved -- The Xavante native tribe of Brazil. Amazing, heavy, heartfelt music from a band at its peak before self-implosion took over.
