To jump a little bit more outside of the classical I mentioned in my post, here's Eleh. Super minimal electronic drone. I think it's best listened to extraordinarily loud, being stoned as hell is a plus as well when you're drowning in the alternating rhythms.

Stetson's solo albums all have some incredible tracks, but I'm rarely patient enough to listen to them as a whole, the worse tracks, while still good, always seem like pale copies of the better ones.
The "Those Who Didn't Run" EP might be my favourite of his solo releases.
The album with Sarah Neufeld on the other hand is great as an album, the songs are much more distinctive and well thought out.
I'm really curious as to how his music will develop further.
