Oddeus: Lately I sustained some serious brain damage due to excessevely playing drm-free games at night. As a consequence I lost my good taste in music. Please recommend me some music. The genre doesn´t matter as long as the music expands my consciousness.
See it as chance to show me the music you love but can´t tell anybody because they wouldn´t understand :)
P.S. With youtube link, please. I´m not the fittest anymore.
Here's some that might be interesting.
First, I'll start with something that matches what we normally think of as music: Bach's little fugue in G minor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pTu4pkmtpU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcyMpHrXQLg (Note that different recordings of that piece might sound different, due to the random nature of the music; the score actually instructs the musicians to play "not together" at parts; I know because the community orchestra I'm in recently performed that piece.)
Now, for something that strains the definition of "music": A piece by John Cage called 4'33". I note that, while the composer called this a piece of music, reasonable people would disagree, and there has been significant controversy over it:

Instead of linking to Youtube, I am going to link to a page that has the score for that piece and a few other similar pieces by the same composer; the reason for this should be obvious (warning: may cause uncontrollable laughter):
