My thoughts exactly! I feel like I bought all my cd's new again. Nice.

Stefan,

No rejoicing since the music has not arrived yet. I also went to your site JPC and sampled the music Huw and you (rhimes real well) posted for your 2005 purchases and ordered:

Menge Medium Bestellnummer Titel Preis
1 CD 1984338 Gleda EUR 19.99
1 CD 3340060 Neighbourhood EUR 15.99
1 CD 6190703 Journey To The Centre Of An Egg EUR 14.99
1 CD 9040755 Nomad EUR 16.99

So I have 8 discs on the way, and that should do for a while.

Thanks again for the advice and the site info.

Regards,

Haim

Haim - some good choices.

Peter Erskine - Time Being is one of my very favourite jazz CD's - a masterpiece. I like all his ECM dates.

I bought Mi Ritorni In Mente. It is pretty good but it is quite a way behinbd the Gleda CD in my opinion. I think that is partly due to a number of standards that are well known. With Gleda, all of the music was unknown (to me )Scandinavian tunes.

Another one for you to consider and one of my fave jazz CD's

BASELINE - WHY REALLY on Challenge Records - Hein Van De Geyn with John Abercrombie and Joe Labarbera. An excellent CD.



Have you also tried Enrico Pieranunzi?

Adrian,

Thank you again. I am flying to Israel for two weeks to visit my parents. After my return I will try to get Baseline and one of the Enricos whom I have not tried yet. Here is one of the finest world music you can find:

Sera Una Noche / MA recordings

Teddy Thompson - Separate Ways.

The first half of the disc was excellent on first hearing, the remainder is growing on me.

Surfjan Stevens 'Illinoise'.

If it topped Pitchforkmedia's best of 2005 I figured it should good. Sprawling and unconventional 22 track epic, needs several listens I think.

Bruce

Martha and the Muffins - Far away in time. On ROTF's recommendation.

About to put it on now.

Led Zeppelin Box Set
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love

Julia Fordham - Concrete Love+2 bonus tracks promo. What a seductive voice.
