My favorite is Superstition. Hope it got on your order

Los Lobos - Kiko

Hybrid SACD. Been waiting for this Mobile Fidelity release.

The mix is heavily focused on the piano. I suppose that's not too surprising due to Brendel's star power.

I much prefer the Melos Ensemble set over this one tho. Lacking dash of 'something'.

No, I hadn't even heard of that one. I simply chose the 'Best of...' (to capture both Siouxsie's version of 'Dear Prudence', which I don't recall hearing before, and 'This Wheel's on Fire') plus the live album, 'Nocturne', figuring that the band was always best live and loose. I'll see how I live with those before exploring further. I was a confirmed progressive and jazz-rock fusion fan and couldn't really relate to the new wave stuff. It's coming as a bit of a surprise to me now!

Clive, as well as the two mentioned, I would also suggest two of their early albums, their third, and most eclectic, Kaleidoscope (1980); and their fourth, JuJu (1981), which as well as featuring some of the group's best songs - Spellbound, Arabian Knights, Monitor, Headcut - has the extraordinary guitar playing of John McGeogh. I think it's their best album overall.
