-More or less anything by Yuki Kajuira. Specifically her lighter works though, such as the Tsubasa OST's and Credens Justitium from the Madoka Magic OST.
Well, that's most of the anyways....
*Footnote: When I say 'first generation', I'm specifically referring to the three singles releases (Little Braver, Crow Song, Thousand Enemies) and the two GDM compilation CD's (Keep the Beats and Keep the Beats Official Band Score). There where another couple of CD's released a fair time after the first batch, which I didn't like very much.
In other news:
Up to the 5th episode of Bakamonogatari (end of Mayoi arc), and I have to say that this is a very odd duck indeed. Its a story about a generic anime male lead who used to be a vampire, but was somehow cured of his vampirism by a priest of some description, though he retains some vampiric traits. He keeps running into girls that have some sort of spiritual issue, and he solves it by some manner. That's it really, but what makes this show so strange is the fact that it manages to be interesting even when 99% of it is the characters standing around talking (yes, that is a serious number, not an exaggeration, this show is almost 100% dialogue and exposition).
Alot of that interest owes to the visuals. Even when nothing much is happening the camera keeps moving, changing location or just leaving the scene entirely and going to screens of text which flash by so fast you cant read them and you need to make liberal use of the pause button. Still, highly interesting if difficult to marathon, looking forward to more (and the apparently fan service heavy sequel that's currently airing
).

And I also watched the first episode of Black Rock Shooter (and then compared it to the OVA for fun). The difference in budget between the OVA and the pilot episode is defiantly showing through, the OVA is a lot nicer looking over though the version I have is only 480p (have it on DVD) and the pilot was 720p. Studio hasn't changed, but they seem to have changed the character designer since Mato is noticeably different looking, it has alot to do with the shape of her head I think (noticably rounder, tails are shorter) I like what they did with her eyes but overall I preferred the character design from the OVA. She also acts like more of a weirdo in the TV series
Looks like their going for much the same idea as they did in the OVA in terms of story though, jumping back and forth between the 'real world' and 'another world' which is used for the purpose of metaphor. Some minor foreshadowing that it may not be as metaphoric as its been played so far, but early days yet.
