Ulver























Ulver is possibly my favorite band. They started as black metal (Vargnatt, Bergtatt, Nattens Madrigal,) made a contemporary Norwegian folk album in between (Kveldsssanger,) and then made various styles of experimental electronic music. All the albums are good, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. If you haven't heard them, you're missing out on life. If you have heard them, but don't think they're that great, you're listening wrong.
Here's their discography. I recommend going through it from beginning to end.

Vargnatt (1993 demo)

Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler

Kveldssanger

Nattens Madrigal - Aatte Hymne til Ulven i Manden

Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (I'm making an exception for rapidshare this time, so I don't have to upload it myself)

Metamorphosis EP

Perdition City

Teachings in Silence (compilation combining the Silence teaches You How to Sing and Silence the Singing EPs)

Lyckantropen Themes

A Quick Fix of Melancholy

Svidd Neger

Blood Inside

Shadows of the Sun

Franklyn OST

This is the OST from Franklyn, a 2009 British movie from debut director Gerald McMorrow. Score composed by Joby Talbot, of Hitchhiker's Guide fame. I personally think this soundtrack is amazingly good. :3

Alexander Scriabin Complete Piano

Alexander Scriabin was the craziest, most wonderful person, and his music is defintely brilliant. A mystic who thoroughly believed in spiritual divinity mixed with music, and suspected of having the condition known as synesthesia, Scriabin was truly an uncommon character in the late 19th century Russian music scene. Fun fact: he often associated colors with notes and came up with a colorful "circle of fifths" that influenced much of his music.

More info.







I've put together a link that contains Scriabin's complete piano music, performed by Roger Woodward.

Enjoy.
