Something to keep the brain occupied.
B.B King - Blues on the Bayou
bugger.
A noisy record.
Disc 1
Itzhak Perlman and John Williams pair up to play the classic Hollywood film scores such as Laura, Now Voyager ( love this film! ), The Uninvited.. ( remember this one with Ray Milland? )
It's interesting that how much music moves me without looking at the moving pictures.

A good record cleaner might be on your list next?

I ran out of the Enzyme Formula! ( steam cleaning alone didn't do it enough )
Double bummer but the music was good so I let it play.
After I had bought this CD on a trip to Chicago (kuma, you may remember...), this has become one of my all time favorites and played SO often (considering that there are many CDs I purchase and play only once, sometimes not even fully), that the last two tracks remain unplayable, because the metal coating with the musical information has disappeared.
My original copy was the then released SACD (slightly different cover) - so I listened to the CD layer, all the time.
And thought it was very good not only musically...
Finally rebought this - on the normal CD edition, this time, and spin it with my mouth open. Reminds me to when you folks put on your mysterious voice and talk about comparing the black and the silver stuff.
Aww, techie stuff, back to the music. After the repurchase, this must be THE favorite record I own...
cheers

Stefan - with such a glowing review I am going to make this my first album of the day and play in the car as I take no 2 son to his golf lesson.
I know your enthusiasm for Oregon so I am not surprised you have them as your favourite album. Northwest Passage has always been my favourite of theirs.

This one next?
One of my favourite live stuff...
On ECM - an interesting mix of renaissance vocals and modern day electronic soundscapes.
'British tenor John Potter and fellow countryman Ambrose Field, composer of electronic/digital music, offer a striking juxtaposition of Renaissance music and present-day technology: In seven interconnected pieces, vocal fragments from the songs and sacred works by Guillaume Dufay (1397–1474) soar beautifully above Ambrose Field’s vast and multi-faceted soundscapes.'

On ECM. The series of discs that Eleni Karaindrou has released on ECM mostly soundtracks to the music of Theo Angelopoulos are superb. Another fine example.
