Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

All the Lyle Lovett recordings I've heard sound great. One of my favorite show-off tracks is Penguins from I Love Everybody.

Mel Torme Swings Shubert Alley.

Keith Jarrett playing Handel's Suites for Piano.

Steely Dan, Two Against Nature

John Scofield, A Go Go

For those of you who appreciate solid drums and funky bass...
Chili Peppers "Funky Monks" & "Walkabout"

and if you really like bass you've got to hear
Travis Larson Band "Georgia on my Mind" w/phenom bassist Victor Wooten (It's on iTunes I believe)

Stereophile July 2003 awarded 5 stars to Telarc's recording of the Hovhaness Symphony#2. I tried to find it thru Tower and Amazon to no avail.

I went to Telarc's web site and learned that they have in in SACD. I
have not yet received it but am eager to hear this one.

Max Young

Doc Watson's "intrumentals" or something like that. I have listened to that over and over.

Here's my list, I look forward to seeing yours. (*I also started new thread for favorite ecclectic collection so we could begin fresh)

1.Govinda "Entwined and Entranced" (An amazing recording with synth, guitar, rich vocal accents and sounds undescribable)

2.Patick O'Hearn "Trust" (Ambient,New Age, synth)

3.Karsh Kale "Liberation" (Sound will pour from this CD, synth,programing,Madras Orchestra and much more....your speakers will scream)

4.Ulver "Perdition City" (Dark ODD well recorded CD of strange sounds and images)

5.Kruder and Dorfmeister "K and D Sessions" (For those who thought they would not like techno, strong recording!)

6. Brainbox "Primordia" (Another one of my strange CD'S...a feast for ears)

10. Robert Stanton "Accoustic Storm" (20 Bit recording, hard to find)

11.Joe Banamassa "blues deluxe" (One of the better recorded rock/blues genre. Ths guy is amazing)

12. Ryan Adams "Gold" (Nice recording and good song writing, a tad melancholy but solid)

13.Al DiMeola "Kiss My Axe" (One of my favorite recordings, tons of info to hear, very crisp)
