Dead Can Dance "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun", but recently (well, since Lisa Gerrard moved into "mainstream" thanks to Gladiator movie) it is "Khmer" by Nils Petter Molvaer.
@nonoise,tpreaves : Yours is the Best answer! Its only when my guests hear "their" tunes thru my stereo that they start paying attention. Me playing them Dead Can Dance usually resulted in a polite comment to the effect that I am one creepy dude ;-(
@lewin_author and @almarg I envy you!!! I wish I had friends to whom I could play any classical LP! usually the answer to what they like to hear is "whatever..." and I go for "Jazz at the Pawnshop" as a punishment. @lewin_author, you are my man! Symphonic Dances under Eiji Oue is my all-time favorite! Finally issued on vinyl, this is where I go to impress myself! ;-)
@andy8400 yours is an excellent tip! I wonder why Mapleshade CDs are usually disregarded as audiophile delights, they are dirt cheap and sound better than most XRCDs, RR, or CDs from Naim or Linn labels. No blockbusters in Mapleshade catalog, but the sound is stunning! An excellent demo/advertisement for their hardware though!!
