Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

Trio Live Oak- “Star Shining On The Mountain” This is early Spanish music. This is very calming and beautiful. The recording has a great sense of space as well.

New York Rock Ensemble- “Fields Of Joy” I have loved this song since my older brother brought this record home from college, maybe 1971 or 1972.

MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER 
First eight "IN THE AIRE" ALBUMS.  Most can also be found as LP's

Also MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS ALBUMS - The first four releases. 

Absolutely ICONIC music. LIke nothing else that has come since. Great listening that a wide range of people all love. I own them all.

Ten New Songs - Leonard Cohen

I thought that the McLaughlin Trio was CD as well. Thankfully, it was released in ’90 and reissued on 180g (German-Optimal) in 2015.

That album was a huge inspiration as I’m a bassist. Kai Eckhardt went from Berklee School of Music to landing this gig. Beautiful fretless and fretted playing. Trilok Gurtu, known as an Indian percussionist, plays trap kit, though I believe he was seated on the floor, IIRC.

Bozzio - Levin - Stevens: "Black Light Syndrome"
