I have yet to hear a recording of sonic excellence. Nothihg (and no one) so far can capture sounds realistically. I will name artists whom I like most: Miles Davis (from 1969 to 1975), John McLaughlin (his original two Mahavishnu Orchestras, his Indian period, his extraodinary trio with Paco de Lucia and Al Di Meola, "Que Allegria" album), Paco de Lucia (his "Siroco" is, I think, the best flamenco ever composed and played), Al Di Meola ("Ciello a Terra" and "Heart of the Immigrants"), Dead Can Dance (everything but their first album). No other names of such a caliber on the horizon. Compared to them the rest sounds helpless and hopeless.

Here is my list (emphasis on most varied of style), of some of the LP's that I enjoy for musical or emotional reasons. I won't attempt explaining which I think have sonic merit. Bill Evans "Final Village Vanguard Sessions" (Mosiac), Dead Can Dance "The Serpents Egg" (4AD), Kate Bush "The Hounds of Love" (EMI), Barney Kessell "Some Like it Hot" (Fantasy), Jay Mc Shann "What a Wonderful World" (Grove Note), Charlie Haden/Hampton Hawes "As Long as There is Music" (Artist House), Roger Waters "Amused to Death" (Columbia), Lou Reed/John Cale "Songs for Drella" (Sire), Peter Gabriel "The Last Temptation of Christ" (Geffin), Sarah McLachlan "Surfacing" (Arista), Ricky Lee Jones "Traffic from Paradise"(Geffen), John Lee Hooker "Boom Boom" (Point Blank), Miles Davis (almost all), The Royal Ballet, Ansermit, Orch of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. (RCA), Espana, LSO/Argenta (Decca), Lee Morgan "The Sidewinder" ( Blue Note), Frederica Von Stade, "Rossini, Haydn, Mozart (Phillips), Copland "Appalachian Spring" (Reference Records), Gregorio Paniagua "La Folia" (Master Disk ATR), Andre Previn "Like Previn" (Contemporary), Howard McGee/Shelly Manne/Phineas Newborn Jr/Leroy Vinnegar "Maggies Back in Town" (Contemporary), James Brown "Live at the Apollo" (King), Ben Webster/Oscar Peterson "Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson" (Verve), Steve Tibbitts "YR" Frammis (original) or ECM (repress), For Duke, (M&K Realtime), Dave Brubeck "A La Mode" (Fantasy), Tom Waits "Nighthawks at the Diner" (Asylum), Fleetwood Mac, "The Original Fleetwood Mac" (Sire), Ella Fitzgerald, "Clap Hands Here Comes Charlie" (Verve).
