Then have a listen to Buxtehude's Jesu meine Freude, BuxWV 60. Its where Bach took inspiration from for his Motet Jesu meine Freude.
I seem to remember that you like string quartets. Well, in Buxtehude you get one contrary to Bach's version.
Eg:
Original vinyl released 1974 - Classic Morrison and my favourite. ????
Bob Dylan - Desire.
Having been playing BOTT and the More Blood album lately I've been exploring a few other Dylan albums in my collection. After BOTT this is my next favourite. I really like the harmonies with Emmylou Harris. Currently playing through for a second time.
Playing on Cassette on Maxell ULS C60 - Fabulous Cream debut from 1966
Playing on Compact Disc -Fabulous roukas rock and roll from Barrance Whitfield and the Savages - I always like the cover Barrance seems to be smoking from our very own Tobyjug 
Playing CD 1 from this two disc set : )
Blackfield 2, released in 2007. Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen.
Playing on Compact Disc - Really good album by the late Warren Zevon
Wes Montgomery - Movin' along
Recorded in 1960.
- Bass – Sam Jones
- Drums – Louis Hayes
- Flute – James Clay

on cd on a rainy afternoon,
More easy, library, film and TV music, compiled in the 1990s. It's got "The Return of The Saint" on it, which always cracks me up as it reminds me of this scene from I'm Alan Partridge:
and now this on original vinyl. One of my favourite records.
Playing on Vinyl - A fabulous album by Birminghams Reggae finest Steel Pulse

Great jazz from these two giants. Recorded live in 1994 in Denmark.

Kev,
Nice choice mate........Looking at the cover I saw UFO included and have always loved that theme tune.I remember watching it as a 5 year old and thinking it was amazing and also had the Dinkey toys of the Interceptors from Moonbase,the Mobile which was like a tank.Even Commander Streakers car.Here is the opening music for you.
