if you really have only listened to Satie and Part and know virtually nothing else, I recommend you to quickly listen to the old classics
like The 4 Seasons by Vivaldi
some tunes can give me the cringe because of overusage in commercials and popular media, but Summer and Winter .... damn
also check out Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite... some great tunes there that you've probably once heard before
and Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 595)
and his Cello Suites.. all of them!
-
now that you mention it
Gorecki - Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs)
check it, now
most popular Symphony of recent times, and for a damn good reason
-
Check out some Shostakovich, I love his String Quartet No. 8 in C minor op. 110
second movement:
Currently, I'm in love with Alfred Schnitte
2nd part of his Piano Quintet, but I recommend the whole of course
Also check out his Concerto For Piano & Strings, my favourite
And his String Quartets performed by the Kronos Quartet are also interesting. They also translated a Schnittke vocal composition to strings, with a beautiful result.

just let him keep bumping up his own threads, then he'll be happy
and don't talk so negative to him, or he'll get all witty and say "same to you" or "piss off" or "my contributions to this message board greatly excel yours"

unless you were commenting on the cat abuse, in which case yes.
some cats dont mind water, you know
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJdIeKvchQ
so I don't see the abuse
if the cat in that picture was feeling abused, that woman probably wouldn't have had anymore skin on her face

And you don't want to open the following spoiler tag. Trust me:
The bald figure in the above image is not a doll. Or mannequin. Or sculpture. But an actual, living human being.

I know, I'm currently dragging myself throught Foucault's Pendulum
I'm not going to mention spoilers (haven't even finished the book yet) but i'll put my frustrations in spoiler tags anyway
In The Name Of The Rose might have taken about 100 pages before it really began, but almost the entirety of Focault's Pendulum is a big fuck of not much happening, constant talking about ancient texts about rosicrusians.
Very informative, he clearly did a lot of research, and the richness of words is very astounding and delightful to read. You can learn a lot of awesome words and interesting ancient historic thingies from an Umberto Eco book. Clearly a very talented, intelligent writer that deserves a spot among the great.
But fuck.
The back cover reads: "Three book editors, after reading too many crackpot manuscripts on the occult, start to have some fun with conspiracy theories told by a strange colonel. They start feeding random bits of information into a powerful computer capable of inventing connections between the entries, thinking they are creating nothing more than an amusing game, but then their game starts to take over, the deaths start mounting..." blabla
.... All that stuff starts happening around the 100th chapter (about 500 pages in).... There are 120 chapters (640 total pages).
Except the strange colonel, they meet him early in the book. The rest is lots of talk about manuscripts. The fun starts way back...
You can drag, but this is too much.
Also, I don't like the main character and his friends. Fuck 'em.
But i'm going to continue reading, because now it seems to pick up a bit, and i'm probably a masochist
I recommend this book if you are really, REALLY interested in the Templars n shit.
