One of the finest if not the finest DJ mix albums ever. Just genius, in my opinion.

First CD I ever bought. Had to buy a CD player to play it on. Still not keen on it all these years on.Quote:

I lent it to a mate about 20 years ago, and I've made no effort to get it back, it's that good.Quote:

I'll have to give it another listen I suppose. It will only be about the fourth or fifth time I've played it.
After two great albums in a row it was disappointing. But it started me in on buying CDs.
I used to have that, or one that looked a lot like it, isn't Dolly Parton in the mix somewhere? It was relegated to 'van use' though, but vanny has a tendency to chew up cds, so they last about a year then they're thrown.Quote:

I must have over a dozen or so recordings by Jan Garbarek, but not that one. Will have to check it out!Quote:

An excellent Album and easily their best, imo.
Music is such a fantastic, wide world isn't it ? Until Mike's post I had never heard of the man.Quote:

Good choice Mike, and on vinyl too! Only one I have on vinyl is Exit Planet Dust, all the others are CD. I'll get some on the go later, when I have the house to myself :)Quote:

Looks like Prodigy were outnumbered by the Chemical Brothers, but I'm sure they weren't outgunned... (See what I did there! :) )
Something completely different here - been having a bit of a Country afternoon - this one has really grown on me, foot tapping and witty songs - well, if that's your sort of thing, which for most here it probably isn't! :D

Rumer - 'Seasons of my Soul'
(Went to play this a while back, but couldn't find my copy - so this is a 25p charity shop replacement.)
Anastacia - 'Not That Kind'
More of today's charity shop trawl. Not sure if it is quite 'my cup of tea', but my partner likes it, so it stays.
I think it's a great album - I know I paid full whack when it came out, and I don't feel short-changed :)Quote:

Anastacia has a great set of lungs on her, can really belt them out! I have a couple of hers including that one - but the same as you, more a favourite of the lady of the house than mine!
Steve was talking about Rumer. I don't know his views about Anastacia.Quote:

Oh and I don't really have any views about Anastasia. Except that I'd rather look at her than listen to her.
After a flurry when it first came out I had sort of forgotten about this one.

Still feel this is definitely a return to form on her 18th studio album. How did that happen? - only seems like yesterday I discovered this new artist and her amazing debut Little Earthquakes - a mere 32 years ago. Gulp!
Giving this another go:

I probably should be embarrassed, but I'm not :)
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX679_.jpg
Only meant to play a couple of tracks, but couldn't stop it. Had to play it all the way through, and I was sorry when it ended. Love it when that happens :)

Can’t beat a bit, or a lot, of Massive Attack!
Playing this one, vastly underrated singer songwriter in my opinion who is probably not as well known as she should be.

No, you shouldn’t be embarrassed. Or if you should be, then so should I!Quote:

I've never heard of her :sofa: even though she's been around for 30+ years! I'll have a look on the You Tube shortly.Quote:
