Favorite cycles

Sorry for the descriptions, my english is not very good. |
| 1 |  | Deathspell Omega
Si Monvmentvm Reqvires Circvmspice
The Deathspell Omega 'Trilogy' is not only a monument of black metal but a masterpiece of modern music. 3 Lps, 5 Eps of dissonant revolutionary music. |
| 2 |  | Masada
Alef
10 albums of 'jewish free jazz'. Great interplay by the quartet (Joey Baron, Greg Cohen, John Zorn and Dave Douglas). Reminiscent of the Ornette Coleman Quartet. A perfect blend of wild moments and calm melodies. |
| 3 |  | Jimmy Giuffre
1961
Fusion and Thesis are among the most ahead of their time recordings. A prefect interplay with silence. |
| 4 |  | Richard Wagner
Der Ring des Nibelungen
Ok the first two parts have some lenghs but the final part is pure beauty. 15 hours of epic music and softer moments. |
| 5 |  | Tom Waits
Franks Wild Years
The 'Franck Trilogy' including swordfishtrombone, rain dogs and franck's wild years is an amazing collection of crazy, naive and nightmarish songs. Waits change radically his style from this albums and created something deeply original. |
| 6 |  | Marc Ducret
Tower Vol.4
The Tower cycle by french guitarist Marc Ducret based on Nabokov's Ada is amazing. 5 albums of modern dissonant jazz. Really well structured with a lot of improvisation. |
