You want 'Hydrogen Jukebox', 'Einstein on the Beach' and 'Music in twelve parts'. After that.. um.. nah really. It all gets same-y. A much better investment of your ears can be found with Steve Reich (apart from the rather wet 'City Life'), Gavin Bryars, and Arvo Part.

Really though I reckon that it's much more rewarding to follow the solo classical musicians and ensembles than it is composers these days. Vanessa Rossetto, Amy X Neuberg (who collaborates with some amazing groups), Lev Zhurbin, Balanescu Quartet, Bartois, Aki Takahashi etc.

But wtf, ignore me, cos tbh I've given up contemporary classical in favour of the blurred territory between it, free jazz and experimental electronic stuff. Its like late 60s modernism is making a comeback.
