The one hundred and fifty-ninth classical recording: #962 George Benjamin - Ringed by the Flat Horizon
There's something that leans more towards music and storytelling through music in more modern pieces. Composed in 1980, Ringed by the Flat Horizon has an at times cacophonous sound, with a chaotic mix of sounds punctuated by heavy percussion that makes it difficult to follow. It's content to feel that way rather than striving for a pure beauty of older pieces, invoking stronger emotions that aren't always just pleasing. It invokes that feeling of dread and anticipation of an oncoming storm really well and I quite liked how sinister it got.
