Disc 2: Pleiades, Komboi. Especially enjoyed the first - I don't have any notes to go on but I assume this was heavily influenced by gamelan. 

Stockhausen: Gesang der Jünglinge & Kontakte - from Spotify. I think it's the original from the 1950s but is on one of those dubious labels that put out things like 'Xmas with Stockhausen' from older recordings. Clearly sounded mind-boggling at the time but I can't say either of the pieces really grabbed me. 'Electronic' music has come a long way since.   

In a similar vein:

No 1...and the 2. I've never been a huge fan of the Bax symphonies but really enjoying these this morning.

The first music I am able to listen to with my flu-type head ... This is scheduled for release in February - as I took part in the crowdfunding I already got my copy. Lovely music, excellently played, Kirkman (1746-1812) was the nephew of the well-known British builder of harpsichords with the same name. More under http://www.medeabindewald.com

Dis 3: 153/58/65/123 - Sunday after New Year and Epiphany (a week late). 

Disc 3 of the first - not as engaging as the first two. One of those 'funny voices' pieces to start.

No 3....and then 4.
