about loreena mc kinnet------i saw a video playing in an EXPRESS womens/firles cothing store and ity was great. havent seen it in the stores like best buy where iv gotten other good itmes. dingo with miles davis 4instance. i guess i could try cdnow.

either ive had my head in the sand or something worse. forget cdnow, amazon, or b+n, towerrecords.com has about the best prices for new stuff, and they have 'used'. the used are customer returns, not items they purchased from individuals. not only that, i purchased new Reference Recordings LPs yesterday! and the good part-shipping is $4.95/order, not /item, not/shipment. i LOVE this place, and they have most everything available. search by artist, title, label, this is great! a guy could go broke saving money and time. another fave for the list--vollenweider-caverna magica on LP. the cd is good, i had it first but the LP is more spacious and the COVER ART. i hate miniatures.

albert, how did you like tower? aside form local used stores, its where i go now for product. i LOVE getting used vinyl for a fraction of the new prices. los angeles is plentiful with this kind of outlet. (poor english, i know). everyone is excited about patricia barber and rightly so, but her '91 album 'a distortion of love' is a masterpiece. thats all you get this time peeeeeeple, one title. regards........tr

albert, i havent gotten any of the classics but the kind of blue interests me a lot. with about 6k LPs, i have plenty of choices at home. it doesnt stop me from buying more tho. sometimes buying a new cartridge is like buying new records. thats what happened when i got the oc9. evay sounds like a good thing, but sight unseen is difficult for me. there are a multitude of places to get used vinyl here in LA, and i feel fortunate. theres a hi fi swap llisted in the audio asylum genersal asylum on 30apr plus a record swap at the same loc. hit upscaleaudio.com for info.

albert........... sonic excellence is a small part of the musical enjoyment we seek as you know. its nice when tghe recording team was paying attention sukch as on the planets by zubin and the LA phil. dworth seeking out on vinyl, avail paired with some wagbme and john williams on cd. one item i suggest is worth looking for is "osamu" by osamu. japanese fusion describes the style as closely as i can come. i had this disc for years before reading the personnel list. there is a female voclaising on one of the cuts that goes into the stratosphers. it turns out to bed minnie ripperton. osamu has been classified as new age, and he has since sadly fallen down that path (you cant blame a guy for making a living) but this music defied classification and still doesnt fall into new age. there other sounds on this disc which you should be able to identify; they werent made with musical instruments but they fit in with the music. happy hunting..............tr
