Discs you play again and again


To qualify for heavy repetition in my house, a cd has to be good music and a good recording. I would like to share the following 4 discs which I can't get enough of. (mostly pop)

1. Tori Amos-Scarlets Walk-Epic cut- A Sorta Fairytale, Bosendorfer Piano and killer vocals- my favorite recording
2.James Taylor- October Road- Columbia- cut My Traveling Star- again killer vocals- great recording!
3. Keb'Mo'- The Door- Sony SACD- cut The Door finally a poppish SACD that's not a repeat of some 25 year old analog recording- this one is new and beyond good
4. Dave Mathews Band- Crash RCA- cut So Much To Say- great dynamics - great everything

What do you have in heavy rotation now?
Happy Holidays

ps- Serve all recording selections with a glass of Kostriker Dark Beer

The first place on repeatability belongs to
"Remain in Light" by Talking Heads. For this album I have several vinyls in case if one of them goes bad the other one will and will and will continue on spinning and I shoud add I play it very very loud!

Trailing behind is "Fish for Fish" self-titled electronic album.
Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington-The Great Summit
Jennifer Warnes - The Well
Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music - My own compilation CD
David Byrne and The Talking Heads - My own compilation CD
Toots and The Maytals - Greatest Hits
Bob Marley - Legend
Sir Neville Mariner and the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields-The Mozart Experience (5 CDs) (Philips Label)
"Le Pas du Chat Noir", Anouar Brahem / Soothing, melodic,
hypnotic...very beautiful music.

"El Cant De La Sibil-La", Montserrat Figueras & Jordi Savall in
La Capella Reial De Catlunya / An astounding recording on the Alia Vox
label - Figueras has a remarkable voice that will test the range of any
system...a remarkable sense of atmosphere recorded in a stone
church....GORGEOUS music! The category it is usually found in is
"Early Music"

"Swordfishtrombone", Tom Waits / Love'em or hate'em...I
think the man's a genius myself. This is one I never tire of, though there
are many more. Tori Amos also has many I don't seem to tire of.

Alvin is also a very talented piccolo player. Not many people know this.
His rendition of Vivaldi's concerto for piccolo in C Major under
Christopher Hogwood's baton is indeed a stellar recording.
