Kronos Quartet Recommendations?


I've read great things about the Kronos Quartet and I'm interested in picking up one or two disks. Anyone familiar with the Kronos Quartet have suggestions?

I wonder if You folks who like the Kronos Quartet may also enjoy the work of a lesser known group called "The Rachels". Perhaps a bit more Avant Garde and even less predictable than Kronos. I enjoy their albums that were recently introduced to me by a friend, one called "Selenography" and "Systems/Layers". Not sure why they remind me of Kronos, but somehow they do. The Rachels are a much larger ensemble (I think 10 members). Take Kronos and add a bit of Eno, a dash of Gavin Bryars, a splash of Laurie Anderson, perhaps a pinch of the Hillard Ensemble, and a few others I'm not thinking of right now, and there you have yourself "The Rachels". Or maybe not........
