In particular try these pieces: Triadic Memories(1981) - ALM Records #33 Piano and String Quartet(1985) - Elektra Nonesuch 79320-2 These are extended pieces ( about 80 mins each ) that have slow melodic progression in a totally unique style. I listen to these pieces over and over, the nuances are incredible. There are others that probe the postmodern music world that stand out, but Morton Feldman is my favorite. If you're interested in other people I think have a unique voice, try: Pauline Oliveros' Deep listening Band Alvin Lucier Alvin Curran Hope this sparks some interest.
