It happened to me last night. I was moving my CD collection and a disk called my attention since it's been quite a while I played it: The Simon and Garfunkel Collection.

Not good sounding, low volume BUT what a nice change of pace, fresh, moody got me singing along.....

Hasn't it happened to you that you go into a "circle" of frequently played music and there are many worth a listen in your collection boonies.

I propose to share one or two records that could be nice to fellow 'goners having in the menu for listening.

Let's start building the menu..

Yeah I did it! Found a vinyl radio station audition copy of Joe Sample "Rainbow Seeker" OOOH MAN!
Emerson Lake & Palmer, self-titled...played late one nite a few weeks ago. Sometimes when I get into a listening rut, I'll close my eyes and point to a CD jewel case in the rack & then play it, whatever it is.
Here goes another one that I bumped into last night:

Group Madredeus from Portugal
Title Existir
Label Metro Blue
Catalog number 0 777 7 94647 2 2

Very nice recorded music Fado type acoustic, Teresa Salgueiro has a very nive voice. Think you might find smples in the regular places to hear.....

C'mon audiogoners it is about music!!!!!!!

That's exactly the kind of information exchange I'm looking for, very interesting I haven't really payed attention to Vanelli. Thanks for your input

I did a similar thing recently with a recent vinyl listening session. I came across a couple of Gino Vanelli albums that were purchased as cutouts years ago - 'Brother to Brother' and 'Pauper in Paradise'. At the time I played the crap out of them as I was just beginning to explore jazz and came across Gino's work, not particularly for his vocals but for the interesting jazz/pop/fusion layering of his sound. Much more substance to his music other than the single "I Just Want to Stop" For example, side 2 of 'Pauper in Paradise' (the title track) is a 4 movement piece recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Great stuff.
