[khundude]

Radiohead- all
T. Monk- all
Miles Davis- all, Bitches Brew is my favorite
Roger Waters- Amused to Death
Dire Straits- all
The Police

I have some favorites but there can be only one favorite. It is Thelonius Monk, "Live at the It Club" legacy edition. A very close second is the studio SACD album, "Straight, No Chaser." I am building a SACD DAC and transport to play to play these greats. In fact, even if I only had "Straight, no chaser" for SACDs I would still spend $1000 on gear just to listen to that one disc(my second favorite). I wish that my favorite would be released on SACD.

 

[ambience exists]

Anything by Sigur Ros, or Stars of the Lid. The spacey stuff is best.

Also... John Coltrane and Kenny Burrell bring out the best in my system.

Ambient music really makes you ponder lifes unrealities
and
su-
real-
isms....

I just discovered these ladies and totally dig their sound. They have a 1920's-30's vibe that I'm really liking and sound's great.

That's a really tough question. All depends on mood or inspiration.

Jazz-side:

Miles, Sam Rivers, Mingus, McLaughlin, Coryell, Gil Evans, Howard Johnson, James Ulmer, Ornette, Helen Merrill, Kip Hanrahan, Marcus Roberts, Henry Threadgill, Julius Hemphill, Dave Holland, Andrew Hill, Anthony Braxton, ...

"Pop" side:

Richard Thompson, Boz Scaggs, Joni Mitchell, Talking Heads, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Peter Green in various settings, Clapton (mainly with Cream), Beatles, Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Tom Rapp (Pearls before Swine), Al Kooper's version of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Leonard Cohen, Tull, Blodwyn Pig, ...

Well, that's most of the last few weeks anyway.

 

[TubeHead Johnny]

I love Miles too. My faves are:

'Round Midnight

Kind of Blue

Milestones

I also listen to a lot of classical. Right now I'm listening to Beethoven's piano sonatas (the box set) with Richard Goode at the piano.

John.

The one title that I keep coming back to again and again is:

Gary Bartz: The Red and Orange Poems

When I first heard it, I thought it was nice, but nothing earth-shaking. But its virtues are subtle and long-lasting in effect.

Arlo Guthrie- Hobo's Lullaby

A mix CD I put together with Jerry Lee Lewis, Howlin' Wolf, Joan Baez, Renaissance, Laura Nyro, JLL, Burl Ives, and a few more.

I may have the titles or spellings wrong, but you get the idea- I have pretty varied tastes, and the list will be different in six months.

 

[lineup]

Van Morrison - Hymns To The Silence (1991)

All songs written by Van Morrison
Except 'Just A Closer Walk With Thee' & 'Be Thou My Vision'. Traditional, arranged by Van Morrison

Van Morrison official site - Hymns To The Silence

My favourite track is this one:

WHY MUST I ALWAYS EXPLAIN ?
Van Morrison

Have to toe the line, I've got to make the most
Spent all the years going, from pillar to post
Now I'm standing on the outside and I'm waitin' in the rain
Tell me why must I always explain

Bared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the cost
Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain
Tell me why must I always explain

Why, why must I always explain
Over and over, over again
It's just a job you know and it's no sweet lorraine
Tell me why must I always explain (alright)

Well I get up in the morning and I get my brief
I go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief
It's not righteous indignation that makes me complain
It's the fact that I always have to explain

I can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
And I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be
And I tell you who I am, time and time and time again
Tell me why must I always explain

Well it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
Always telling people things they're too lazy to know
It can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insane
Tell me why must I always explain.

 

[Pano]

Penguin Cafe Orchestra. (partly for nostalgia's sake).

Now that I've finally heard them -- "Hepcats".

For me you can see it all right here:

Here you can take a peek at what I listen to on my computer

Of course I have a digital connection between my computer and my 'Hi-Fi'.

Cheers,

[Davy]

Im listening to The Cinematic Orchestra a lot at present especially the north american sesions.
Dead can dance are getting a fair bit of play, also Depeche Mode.
My favorite of the moment though is Brian Enos - Another Day On Earth, his best work yet by miles im my opinion, i dont normally like his work so regular fans may not agree.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Jimmy Buffett.
