Thank you for taking the time to listen! Appreciate it!
I didn't go through your entire catalog or anything lol
Just know decent ambient doom metal when I hear it.
Everything Bach wrote that can be played on a keyboard - I just pick a performer (Glenn Gould, Scott Ross, Gustav Leonhardt) and have it play all day
Beethoven's later string quartets
The complete works, minus a track or two here and there, of Joshua Abrams and the Natural Information Society. I started here and got hooked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAkceu6jsE8
Miles Davis, The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions and the trippier, less funk-rock discs of The Complete On the Corner Sessions
Various stuff by Nik Bärtsch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI5yfbHH6mskb44C5Qpw4XePRJ80rM6-1
Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts
Various jazz albums that involve the cello. Tomeka Reid, Julius Hemphill's albums with Abdul Wadud, etc.
If I'm studying history or reading historical fiction sometimes I just put Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony on repeat. Pairs very nicely with both Thucydides and Tolstoy.
EDIT - I mixed up Gustav Leonhardt with the pro-Covid guy from the New York Times.
Okay, this explains why I always think I hear the guy next door playing NIN.
"34 Ghosts IV" was sampled by music producer YoungKio for a beat subsequently used on the 2018 Lil Nas X song "Old Town Road," with Reznor's and Ross' writing credits. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2019, and stayed there for a record-breaking nineteen consecutive weeks.
