William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops (1982-2011)
Official | RYM
Compilation of all four Disintegration Loops. Simple little melodic tape loops stretched and deconstructed over time until they are destroyed and unrecognizable. As much of an art project as a musical album but it works exceedingly well as both. A thirty second sample of this is pretty useless but I'll include it anyway!

Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters (2007)Official | RYM
The best example of American black metal. Naturalistic, woodsy. Long-form and atmospheric with production quality just high enough to be pretty without being gaudy. Some of the best riffs across all of black metal.

Yellow Swans - Drowner Yellow Swans (2007)Official | RYM
Beautifully intense noise/drone. Some of the most immersive and visceral textures I've ever heard in music.
