Looking for compilation suggestions


As of late I find myself listening to compilation albums and soundtracks more and more. Right now I'm listening to "These Times We're Living In, A Red House Anthology" which is very good. Other favorites are kd lang's "Songs from the 49th Parallel," the soundtrack from "Dead Man Walking" and the newly released "Instant Karma - The campaign To Save Darfur." Albums such as these provide me an opportunity to hear new artists or well known artists performing music somewhat out of their element.
Any recommendations appreciated and I'll probably pick up a few of them.

Check out the Live At The World Cafe series which culls intimate well-recorded performances from the radio show of the same name. This is a prime way to find great artists.

As for movie soundtracks, the one I always go back to is The Committments, featuring an Irish band playing 60's American black soul music. Cheers,
