Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of

tom ze brazil classics4, im not sure how obscure but id never heard of him until my wife whose brazilian turned me onto him wierd fun head boppin listen.

"Shadowfax", A Windham-Hill half-speed master.
Also Michael Hedges "Aerial Boundaries", half-speed master from the same stable.

"Shadowfax" was purchased new at the time of release but "Aerial Boundaries" was only available to me as a tape copy until I found a pristine 2nd hand Windham-Hill example several years ago.

Music/score from the picture Under Fire, the Nick Nolte flick. Pat Methany on guitar....great stuff. The vinyl is still available (about 6 dollars or so)

What I find interesting about this thread is how few classic jazz, both vocals and instrumentals, and how few classical albums are listed. There is a whole different world of music to discover out there guys. Not raggin' on ya ... just want to expand the musical taste a bit.

A great jazz recordings:

These are just great sounding records and performances to tickle your ear drums.

Happy listening ...

In addition, I listened to a lot of the recommendations made in this thread on "Spotify." Of course this doesn't apply to everyone who made the recommendations, but for those who it does apply to ... how in hell can you stand all of that artificial digital reverb? Good grief ... we spend tons of money to recreate music in its natural state ... and what I'm hearing in so many cases is electronic processed gorp. If I wanted to hear this kind of mish-mash, I'd attend more audio shows like CES.
