@willemj methinks that some folks, myself included, have a hard time pointing to the "boring" classical music. Is it JSBach? Or Stockhausen? Maybe Bruckner symphonies? Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony makes me cry each and every time,... whats a better way to push yourself into sleep!?!
but seriously, if Symphonic Dances on RR by Eiji Oue cannot shake you up, then u must be dead ;-)
Xenakis efforts (used by my fav Magma) should wake up anyone!!! Not exactly what I would call "music" but it is definitely Not "boring"...
