Blackwood: Etudes: 15edo. 4.5
I cannot stress enough how influential this piece was for me.  This was the first piece that convinced me that radically-xen tunings like 15edo were worth getting into.

Jumble: Undiminished. 3.5
This one has a bouncy energy to it that I really enjoyed, but I can't help but feel that it doesn't quite justify its usage of such a massive EDO for such a relatively low degree of melodic variety.

DotuXil: Collected Refractions: Odd Harmonic. 3.8
If I wasn't sold on the value of nonoctave tunings before listening to this, I was absolutely convinced afterwards.  13edt is far from my favorite representation of BPS (nor is BPS my favorite nonoctave tuning in general), but this piece makes it work very well.

Groundfault: A New Dusk. 5
Even outside of xenharmony, this is the type of music I'd be into, and the usage of microtones feels genuinely natural rather than purely novel.  By far among my favorite albums of all time, xenharmonic or otherwise.
