Favourite ECM Titles

Wonderful, Argyro, hope to get valuable information from this thread myself. My favourites off the top of my head:

Jarrett, Peacock, DeJohnette - "Whisper Not"
Jarrett, Peacock, DeJohnette - "My Foolish Heart"
Arve Henriksen - "Cartography"
Miroslav Vitous - "Universal Syncopations"

--------------

I've drawn this nice little line since I know I'm deviating (profuse apologies), but everyone into this kind of music should also keep an eye on ACT Music and PIROUT. My favourites there:
e.s.t. - "Leucocyte" (ACT)
Rössler, Vogt, Vitous - "Between the Times" (ACT)
Copland, Peacock - "Insight" (Pirouet)
Jürgen Friedrich - "Pollock" (Pirouet)

Slothman, thanks for mentioning Steve Tibbetts's "Yr". Brilliant! (How can I not have had this recording for so long.)

Here's a very recent one (actually younger than this thread)

Ralph Towner & Paolo Fresu, "Chiaroscuro"

Apart from being artistically brilliant, I've added this to the CDs I like to take with me for auditioning gear

Hi guys, two awesome new releases this month (although certainly not everyone's cup of tea, let's be clear about that)
Nick Bärtsch's Ronin, "Llyria"
Jan Garbarek with the Hilliard Ensemble, "Officium Novum"
Get a little taste here:

For all of us willing to leave trodden paths (and I'm happy to notice we seem to be numerous), here's yet something else:
the always astounding Paolo Fresu with Daniele di Bonaventura & A Filetta Corsican Voices, "Mistico Mediterraneo"
Mistico Mediterraneo

Orpheus10, check out David Hudson "Rainbow Serpent" or "The Art of Didjeridoo", also the album "Australia, Sound of the Earth" (Hudson, Hopkins, Roach). Attention though, this can be waaaay too much to many western ears. There are certainly more melodious albums that often cross the line into pure kitsch, however (imho). So, listen to the samples first please!

Excellent, then those albums could be of interest, whereby "Sound of the Earth" is the most innovative, I think.

Duh! You caught me Orpheus10, I am also known as Mick the Didgeridologist. Any normal evening you can find me didgering a few doons in the twilight sky, scaring the heck out of northern Frankfurt's collective population.

Seriously though, looks like a decent place to get some music. I listened to a number of tracks, in general they seem to be more palatable to a much broader public than the ones I mentioned yet avoiding to become too pop-y and insipid. Do we have a 'phile from Down Under in the audience who could tell us how close to the real thing something like "Didgeridoo Groove" might actually still be?

And talking about unusual instruments, I'd like to point once more to the Hadouk Trio with the fantastic Didier Malherbe (e.g. on "Baldamore" with doudouk, khen, djembé, derbouka, gumbass, hajouj, ... oh well check it out yourselves: Baldamore live, a great recording to hear what your system is capable of in terms of a multitude of different timbres btw.)

OK, next time I come to this forum, I promise to get back to ECM.
