Several months ago (when I resurrected this thread form it`s initial failure) I encouraged folks to post videos (youtube and vimeo )to make this thread a bit of an educational resource.
IMO it would be great if you would post some vids of  your favorite stuff from this list.....

That is certainly a good idea and I shall do that a bit later...

The first peice I am posting is by Johan Johansson. He scored the soundtrack to The Theory of Everything and SIcario. This first tune is from his debut album that was released on 4AD
.
 
The second piece is by A Winged Victory for the Sullen, a collaboration between Dustin O hallorahan and Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie of Stars in the Lid. When I first heard this piece of music, I thought it was the most beautiful piece of music I ever heard, it brought tears to my eyes. It is achingly beautiful in its sparsity. The piece is called Requiem for the Static King part 2. enjoy
 

 
 
The next piece is by RIchard Knox and Frederic D Oberland, it is called Sleeping Land part 1. It is on Richard's label, Gizeh, which is a small independent label in Manchester UK. Well worth checking out if you like post rock or This Mortal Coil.
This actually replaced the AWVFTS as the most beautiful music I ha d ever heard. I was on a train when it came on my DAP and I was just, gone..
 

 
Next is Julianna Barwick The Magic Place. She layers her own voice over her own voice with the added bonus of strings.
 

 
t I would like to introduce you to Hildur Gudnadottir
 

 
Lastly a little known Welsh duo called Moon ate the Dark, also well worth checking out.
 

 
Enjoy. I will post some other stuff over the next few days

I had absolutely no idea Takemitsu composed the music for Kwaidan (which is a magnificent piece of cinema). I've not listened to much of Takemitsu... however I have watched the movie countless times - where the music is subtle but most effective.

Takemitsu was a very prolific and effective film composer. 
Here is  maybe the best example of it.
This is also among the most important Japanese films . 
 
 

 
 
 
PERIOD.

^ Interestingly both movies released on the same year. Mr Takemitsu was prolific indeed.

I haven't properly watched Woman in the Dunes. I will be correcting that.

The book is worth a read, even better if you read it prior to watching the film
