Adrian,
how do you like the "Sangam" CD ? "Different Rivers" leaves me with mixed emotions, and "Sangam" is on my "possible purchase" list, but haven't heard it, yet.

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

"Picture Book" is currently being used in a TV commercial (for HP I think, the computer one, not the sauce one). Great song. I should check this album out.

Most recent CD's are:

Neil Young - Mystery Train. An interesting compilation with some interesting covers.

Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow Live. Great sounding CD, included DVD seems to have lip sync problems but the sound is good.

Bought two good Australian Jazz releases today

Jamie Oehlers - The Assemblers

Paul Grabowsky - Big Adventure

Cheers

I just borrowed the "Afterglow" CD after hearing a fascinating interview with Sarah on Danish radio. She sounds like really nice, intelligent girl. Lots of *real* charity fundraising that are probably unworthy of global media mention.

A telling moment was when she was asked about the pop starlets of the moment. Jennifer Lopez is on every magazine cover and in many of them as well. While Sarah hardly ever gets a mention in the glossy media.
JL sells only 2 million records worldwide. While Sarah sells 8 million.

Nime

Columbia Records Radio Hour Volume 1 - Great live recordings of performances by Bruce Cockburn, Rob Wasserman, James McMurty, Jules Shear, Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Darden Smith, Dennis McDermott, Rosanne Cash, David Byrne, John Leventhal, Zev Katz, Peter Himmelman, Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed.

Anyone know if a Volume 2 or 3 exists?

True Stereo sampler.

As often, excellent purchases, Adrian...

Have listened to Vince Mendoza, and - am not sure whether I liek it. The orchestra is at times too sweet for my taste. The Jazz musicians sound marvellous, but not always challenging. A bit like "Oregon in Moscow"

Micus: Curious to hear your opinion. I like it a lot, even if it's a bit "esoteric"

Also interested in feedback about:
"Eternal"
and
"Translinear Light"

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Stefan

Oh, great, I just received "Trygve Seim - Sangam" . Grrrmbl. (Haven't listened, though).

"Gianluigi Trovesi Ottetto - Fugace" is currently amongst my favourite 10 CD's. It hardly finds it's way back to the shelf, any more.

Best regards, freundliche Grüße
