Your favorite obscure ECM album

Over the years this label has pumped out a huge catalog of lesser known artists, some of whom I love.

Some of my favorite ECM discoveries include:
Art Lande/Jan Garbarek: Red Lanta
Steve Tibbetts: Yr
Contact Trio: New Marks
John Surman: Upon Reflection
Masqualero: Aero
Bennie Maupin: Jewel in the Lotus
John Abercrombie: Gateway
Terje Rypdal: Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away

Anyone have a favorite ECM discovery?

Another vote for Tibbetts "YR". Kieth Jarrett " Your Song". How is the new Eberhard Weber?

Trying to put a label on this music is impossible with such a wide range. Albert said it pretty good for just using 2 words. I believe the artists are using their free form to achieve a sound without worrying about selling their music. A lot is avant-garde,some mainstream,acid or some of the most melodic music ever produced. Most of the best music came from 75-82 in my opinion.
