I wasn’t sure I’d like the “Other Side” but I did. It was almost Oz-like, crossing from the usual Overnightscape to a place of weird and wonderful sounds.

Just checked musopen, found it very tedious to navigate and download. If you look at bestselling classical on amazonmp3, you’ll see several sets of 100 or more classical pieces for 99cents each. I think the convenience and superior quality of those downloads are worth a dollar or two. I’ve also found some quality free classical music on the following sites:
