Currently, the Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky is okay. I particularly liked the "Gnoumus" movement for its unusual theme and stuff. The whole suite was pretty cool overall.

I love Mussorgsky. I kind of like his position as an "imperfect" composer, who was corrected by more idiomatic composers like R-K.

Medeski Martin and Wood's Radiolarians CDs have been pretty good...

John Adams' Chamber Symphony, namely movement 3: Roadrunner. This piece was inspired by both Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony no. 1 and the musical scores from old-school TV cartoons. Adams was studying Schoenberg's score in one room, his 6 year-old was watching cartoons in the other room and the two came together to inspire this amazing piece. check the great video of Ensemble Intercontemporain play all 3 movements on YouTube.

I listen to Roadrunner almost EVERYDAY. It has inspired many elements of my music, mainly my new chamber piece, Myriad. There's minimalism, there's atonality, tonality, and some GREAT orchestration to boot!
