Spess!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY spessartine!
If I were a better girl I'd've made the 'Happy Birthday' sparkly and crackling and whatnot, but the html boggled me so I just contented myself in making it big. :) I love you, I love you, I love you! I hope you have (or had?) a wonderful day full of pretty gay men and heaps of expensive chocolate and cheap wine. I wanted to write you something, but my brain is full of mud and glue and refusing to obey me, so instead I uploaded music that I'm pretty sure you'll hate. XD
Disney
YES, I AM A DORK. But I SHALL make you like Dumbo and Cinderella, fear not. I've got about 30 Disney soundtracks but I decided not to upload them, because I don't want to be the one who gave Spess a heartattack on her birthday. Here are a few (*cough*) yes, just a few of my favourite songs from Disney -

I have a feeling you're not going to want to sit for a few hours and download all of that, so my absolute favourites out of that bunch - the ones I hope you'll like for their sheer beauty and catchiness and whatnot - are Anastasia: Once Upon A Dream; Hunchback of Notre Dame - God Help the Outcasts and Heaven's Light/Hellfire; Hercules - I Won't Say I'm In Love and Zero to Hero; the first two Sleeping Beauty Songs; Cinderella - So This Is Love; the first two Mary Poppins songs; everything from Mulan and Aladdin and Dumbo and...yeah...everything. I don't really expect you to listen to these, of course not, but if you've got time to kill and you're in the mood, give it a go. :)
Full Soundtracks
And here is some music I actually think you'll like. All I know about your taste in music is that you loathe Disney (shameful!) and you like artists I’ve never heard of, and, thankfully, you like instrumentals and classics. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of these movies but the soundtracks are beautiful enough to stand on their own:
Gladiator OST | .rar | .zip | Yousendit (.zip) - Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, wonderful instrumentals and vocals
The Pianist OST (I know you’ve never seen it but if you enjoy Chopin, you’ll love it)
The English Patient OST(just about the best movie in the world with an equally beautiful soundtrack)
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (best performance I’ve found, with Joseph Silverstein and the Boston Symphony; it's phenomenal.)
Beethoven - Symphony No.9 (performed by Herbert von Karajan and Berlin Philharmonic)
Velvet Goldmine OST - because JRM, and Ewan, and...yeah...
Anastasia OST
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Chicago OST
Les Miserables OBR - Disc 1 and Disc 2
Wicked: The Musical OBR
I uploaded Wicked because it's the best musical I've seen (and heard) in awhile; you might find the music a little popish, but many of the songs are incredibly moving and it’s the type of music that's sort of impossible to dislike.
If you've got a slow connection or you don't want to download the full albums, I've uploaded my favourite tracks from a few of them separately so you can get a feel for the music:
Gladiator OST - Elysium
Gladiator OST - Now We Are Free
The Pianist OST - Nocturne in E Minor
The Pianist OST - Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor
The English Patient - I'll Always Go Back To That Church
The English Patient - Muzsikás - Szerelem, Szerelem
Chicago OST - Cell Block Tango
Chicago OST - Nowadays (Roxie)
Chicago OST - Overture and All That Jazz
Anastasia OST - Once Upon A December
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory OST - The Candy Man
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory OST - Pure Imagination
Wicked: The Musical OBR - As Long As You’re Mine
Wicked: The Musical OBR - Defying Gravity
Wicked: The Musical OBR - For Good
Wicked: The Musical OBR - One Short Day
Wicked: The Musical OBR - Popular
Wicked: The Musical OBR - Thank Goodness
Wicked: The Musical OBR - The Wizard and I
Wicked: The Musical OBR - What Is This Feeling
Oh, god, I've just about reuploaded the Wicked album. Gah. I just love it too much. But the very best songs on the soundtrack, I'd say, are Defying Gravity, What Is This Feeling, Popular, and The Wizard and I. If you haven't seen the musical or read the book, you'll probably have no idea what the lyrics are about, but it's good music regardless. XD
And random songs from My Best Friend's Wedding just for the heck of it:
My Best Friend’s Wedding OST - Wishin’ and Hopin’
My Best Friend’s Wedding OST - You Don’t Know Me
My Best Friend’s Wedding OST - I Say A Little Prayer (as sung by the cast)

I'm sorry for the huge mishmash of music, and if you already have it/really, really hate it, lie to me, please. :) Have a wonderful day, darling. *smooches*
This is for everyone else who might stumble by too, of course - just leave a comment if you download, please, it took me quite awhile to get this together and I'd just like to know what everyone likes. If any of the links expire/don't work, leave me a note and I'll fix it as soon as possible. It's all Megaupload or rapidshare, so they shouldn't expire as long as they're being downloaded at least once a month.
ETA: Edited to add that I've added stuff in my edits. :)
