allmusic and artistdirect think highly of them. I'm going to try out "Boxer". I can get it right now.

Getting ridiculously into The National. I bought "High Violet" (the new album) after hearing lots of great things and "Bloodbuzz Ohio", and love it. I then went and bought "Boxer", the album before. Loved it. I then went and bought "Alligator", the album before. Loved it. I then just bought the entire damn collection. Love it.

It's the mellow angst/depression I think I like best about it. It perfectly suits the singer's baritone voice, and there's some true musicianship going on in all of the songs as well. Not just your typical beats, etc. Lots of layers.

cool stuff nostromo (and the one you posted aviso), the ennio morricone ones are timeless, classic films, classic soundtracks.

Henri Purcell, the funeral of Queen Mary, from Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. (A pretty good cover of Wendy Carlos'. Can't seem to find the original):
