Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of


I prefer threads that talk about music than gear...and here is one. I assume everybody has a "go to"LP in their collection. A record that has formed a deep connection. A record you are protective of. A record you want to keep to yourself. A record so personal it hurts to reveal. For me it is... the Church...the Blurred Crusade.

"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.
Oregonpapa, all great choices, but please read the title again for the actual reason for the thread.

As usual, I do feel like the pot calling the kettle black, but my guess is you may know some gems not commonly known.
