rdio recently added the ability to browse by record label. I never realized it but Albany Records has over a 1000 streamable albums. If I had to over-generalize, I would characterize the label as "new classical music played on conventional instruments."
Already, I've seen old friends like the Christopher O'Riley album, the multi-volume songs of Charles Ives, the Arditti Quartet plays California composers, and Ellen Orner plays violin works of Benjamin Lees.
Of music new to me, so far I like orchestral works of George Perle and especially Stacey Barelos' Midwest American Piano Project.
