Soundtrack from "Vision of Escaflowne" anime. This is the third anime
soundtrack I've had on today, after a prolonged neglect.

Andre' Marchand, Lisa Ornstein, Normand Miron: "Le Bruit Court Dans La
Ville." Quebecois traditional. Andre' Marchand is the former leader
of the best known Quebecois band, La Bottine Souriante, and this new
albums sounds a bit like the old LBS stuff.

Spiritualized -- "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space"
I just love this album.. moody, multi-layered, full of emotionally
powerful songs.. Spiritualized are one of my favorite bands now going.
I hope I get a chance to see them before they overdose.. :-(

Patti Loveless, "Classics" Normally, I don;t listen to Country music, but for
some reason, I was drwan to this CD. She has a beautiful voice.

gnat 208: The CD was just called "Quartet Romantic" (New Worlds 80285-2)
and also had other chamber works by Riegger, Crawford, and Harrison.

the Stone Roses -- eponymous
destined to be remembered (by me, at least) as one of the defining albums
of the early 90s (the *very* early 90s, I guess.. 1989 technically, but I
refuse to acknowledge that this album is already 10 years old..)
I'm very much looking forward to 2010, when we *might* get to find out
whether the band ever comes out of its sophomore slump.. ;-)

Rob Zombie, "Hellbilly Deluxe" You can tell he's a big fan of horror films
while listening to this CD (and watching his videos). Good stuff.

The Costello Show (featuring Elvis Costello) -- "King of America"
1986 was an amazing year for Elvis Costello: it produced two
classic albums, "King of America" and "Blood & Chocolate".
It was shortly after this that the dastardly Mitchell Froom
slipped some unknown substance into both Costello's and
Richard Thompson's coffee -- neither has been the same since..

U2 -- "Zooropa"
It must be the Eno fan in me but I think this is far and away their
best album, certainly more to my liking than anything since "War"..
re #230: I think I stopped following Belew shortly after he released
"Here". If you find the time, maybe you could comment on his releases
in the past few years..

I don't have a copy of "Here". But I like what Belew has been doing lately.
I guess I could loan you my copy of "Op Zop Too Wah" if you really want to
know.

Susana Seviane. The second of two recent Spanish bagpipe albums I've
gotten, I should put together a one-paragraph review somewhere.

David Bowie -- "Hours"
got fooled into buying this one by several reviews which expressed
delighted surprise that Bowie had returned to making decent albums.
unless it grows on me, I'm not sure what they were talking about;
this one seems to me to be as unexciting as any of his other 90's
releases..

I liked some of the stuff out of the middle of "Hours". Then again, I liked
his other 90s releases too. I've only heard a few tracks from the new one,
but the consensus from my Bowie-nut friends is, you should skip the first few
tracks and just listen from 4 or 5 on.

I could maybe believe that..
Now playing -- Joni Mitchell -- "Hits"
a hits collection checked out of the library in hopes of determining
which of her many albums I'd like to try.. I seem to be leaning towards
"Court and Spark" or "Blue" - does anyone have any strong recommendations
(for any of them, not just those two..)
(extra datapoint: I wasn't thrilled by "The Hissing of Summer Lawns",
I checked out from the library at the same time.. It wasn't bad, but it
didn't bowl me over, either..)
