    so i have about 8 hours to use up as much data as i possibly can, before the cap restarts for the next month (the internet sucks in australia)

    i need the names of some albums! Arty stuff, anything from hundreds of years old to this month, so long as it's artistic. I like every single style without exception, so that should make it easy.

    so all you smarty, arty, weird people out there... you know who you are! Subject me to your musical snobbery and recommend me some art i should already have!

    i'm gonna veto sound tracks, i do like some, but i'd prefer albums or classical compositions =)

    it just sucks, you cannot get a contract without a data and/or bandwidth cap unless you want to pay hajillions of dollars. I'm on 20gig/month, and should switch to a new deal, but i'm lazy =P

    Everything by Maynard James Keenan. xD

    And if you like him (I think you've said you like APC before, if not oh well), Rishloo's discography (which I think is just 3 albums).

    Porcupine Tree's Discography (especially In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet :3)

    Rasputina

    I know you're playing that Nyman piece, so I'd suggest Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, John Adams and really any minimalist composer.
    Also have you ever tired last.fm? It often makes quite reasonable suggestions. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    True, It all depends on your view of artsy. I would call The Mars Volta artsy also but a lot of people wouldnt.
