Steve Roden / In Be Tween Noise – The Radio [Sonoris reissue 2007. Originally 1999]
An 18-minute piece of lowercase music created in 1996 for the Soundculture Festival in San Francisco.
Lovely and subtle sounds.
More details about the recording in the comments.
"Track 1 to 11 is the complete original "Abstractions Of The Industrial North" recording. Track 12 to 20 are selected cues from Kirchin's De Wolfe library recordings of the same period" - Discogs

Basil Kirchin – Abstractions Of The Industrial North [Trunk Records reissue 2005. Originally 1966]
The album is a stunning jazz suite. That's not surprising as Kirchin never disappoints.
Originally recorded for the De Wolfe music library and credited to The London Studio Group.

Popol Vuh – Seligpreisung [Kosmische Musik. Quadrophonic. 1973]
Now playing.
The closest P.V. came to being a 'rock' band. That being said, the album is wonderful.

Delia Derbyshire – The Dreams [Fantôme Phonographique. 2019]
One of the most uncanny and eerie recordings I have ever heard. I would recommend this recording without hesitation.

Tangerine Dream – Live At Place Des Arts, Montreal, April 9th, 1977 [Culture Factory. 3xLP. 2025]
I was at this show. 48 years later, the memory still astounds me.
It's the classic TD lineup of Froese, Franke, and Baumann when they were at the peak of their powers.

Blurt – Smoke Time [Moving Target. 1987]
Jagged skronk that alternates between Beatnik cool and seriously wired hysteria. I dearly love the music of Blurt.
