Favorites Alone In Quiet Darkness

Schoenberg string quartet #4, third movement, Julliard Quartet performance ON VINYL

Morton Feldman. Start with Rothko Chapel.

And I second the "Paris, Texas" soundtrack, though I can't stand Wim Wenders films. And the Trinity Sessions. And, yeah, everything sounds better in the dark.
