Kate Bush -- The Dreaming

Still one of the finer albums to use real sheep for backing vocals, I would argue.

I got me one Garbarek album, Magico, that I found on amazon's 'listmania', without knowing who it was. I don't remember what its like though, only heard it once. Let me know if you don't have that one.

Anja Garbarek -- Smiling & Waving

Pisses me off that Steve Jansen is not on Rhapsody and I never remember to look for this disc when I am at a store.

Oh, and I just remembered, Gismonti is on Magico too

edit: crap, this isnt anja, its Jan.

oops

Kraftwerk -- The Mix

Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert

Zut Un Feu Rouge - Explain This Country (2006)

This is a reissue of "Who's Afreud" LP and "Kafka vs. Chaplin" mini LP plus a few rare bonus tracks.

Sweden's avant-progressive band with a lot of RIO flavor, but a darker vibe like Universe Zero. A five piece who used reeds, guitar, violin, keyboards, bass and drums with some strange vocals here and there. For fans of early 1980s R.I.O.

Andrew Bird -- Armchair Apocrypha

Bob Dylan - Together Through Life

That's my favourite album.

Now:

Cowboy Junkies - Miles from Our Home

Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble -- In Step

Andrew Bird -- The Mysterious Production Of Eggs

Rush - Grace Under Pressure

Grant Green -- Easy

I don't know what this thing is, but it starts off with a cheesy, string-filled version of Easy [like Sunday morning] and finishes with Three Times a Lady. Grant's tone is great but it is laying on top of muzak. Who made him record this shit?

Most likely. Fucking A&R douchebags.

Man, I couldn't take it. Switched.

Grant Green -- Grant's First Stand

Great Album!

those assholes.

Just looked up the history of that album, and it was his last recording during 1978 when he was quite ill and looking to make some money pretty desperately:

"By the mid-1970s Green's health was in serious decline, in part from his long battle with drugs. His failure to become a big name in music, with the accompanying financial rewards, and a series of failed relationships, further demoralized him. Green married Karen Duson Wallace, a nurse, in 1974. By 1977 the marriage had failed. Dorothy Malone became his constant companion until his death.

Green recorded his last album, Easy, in April of 1978. That autumn he had a minor stroke that left him temporarily paralyzed on his left side. A blood clot was found near his heart and the doctors ordered triple-bypass surgery, but Green refused. Instead, he drove across the country for a gig in California. After the long drive back to New York, he suffered a heart attack and died on the way to Harlem Hospital on January 31, 1979. He was 43."
