    OOOhh, tough one this...

    Anything by Jackie Leven, though if pushed I'd have to choose either Shining Brother Shining Sister or The Mystery Of Love Is Greater Than the Mystery Of Death
    Grace - Jeff Buckley
    The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths
    Year Of The Cat - Al Stewart
    Dream Harder - The Waterboys
    A Grand Don't Come For Free - The Streets
    The Lark Ascending - Vaughn Williams (OK not an album per se as I have a few different pressings)
    Spem In Alium - Thomas Tallis (ditto to the above)

    That'll do for now...

    Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.
