Tin Hat Trio-Helium-Very strange but beautiful music that is recorderd quite well, even though it's in the Jazz section it's not the type of Jazz that most Jazz lovers would like. Very different. Love the last track with Tom Waits

Tin Hat Trio-Rodeo Eroded-More beautiful, strange music that is also recorded quite well. This time there is more than just the three of them, and the track with Willie on it is especially beautiful.

Cassandra Wilson-Blue Moon Daughter-Beautiful singing from a beautiful woman.

Various-The Sound of Three Blind Mice-Love all of the tracks, but I am especially fond of the Tsyuyoshi Yamamoto ones. Good music that was recorded well.

David Bowie-anything-Put on any David Bowie lp or cd and I'm lovin' it.

Harry Connick Jr.-To See You-Great vocals as usual for Harry, and the band was very well recorded, lush but also very clear.

Eric Clapton-Unplugged-Great music that sounds really good, especially for a mass market recording.

Clifford Jordan-Live At Ethell's-Absolutely beautiful recording of great music, you have to hear that sax on a system that can do it justice.

Steve Greene Trio-Acoustic Living-Got this cd free and it sounds great with over 20 songs to boot!

Portishead-Portishead-Don't know if you'd call this trip hop or whatever, but I love it, I have three different pressings of the album and they're all great.

Marilyn Manson-AntiChrist Superstar-Call me weird, but I think this is a great album. NO I'm not a devil worshipper or anything like that, I just like the music.

And a few more that I can't recall the title or artist of right now.
