I would add Eric Clapton's "unplugged" for its guitar artistry which overshadows Clapton's vocals. Just wondering where you soource your CD's. Is it JB hifi? The warehouse offers the best price but is woefully inadequate when in comes to sourcing audiophile recordings. Cheers Daymon Interesting list Tiens, thanks for the input.

This is where HD surround sound leaves the olde CD for dead. Similarly you’re talking about the vastly superior SACD version of Brothers in Arms :) I was in the front row centre for the recent Leonard Cohen concert & I shouted my friend Dave Cooper (Torbay local) who is similarly a fan. In case you didn’t go I can recommend the DVD from his same tour with a pretty much identical grouping titled LEONARD COHEN – LIVE IN LONDON. I was able to watch this less than 6 months after I saw the concert here in AKL and it captures the sound and atmosphere to a ‘T’. No doubt you caught Jacque Loussier at the old town hall in Auckland a few years back. I own his Bolero CD (my mate Doug has your fav Play Bach) and another ‘must have’ for you if you don’t already own it: Jacque Loussier Trio Play Bach . . . and more DVD Live from St Thomas’s Church Leipzig (where Bach is reputed to be buried). Now a little bit of info that I just discovered: Stephanie Bennett, the lady that produced both Roy Orbison’s Black & White Night and Check Berry’s Hail Hail Rock ‘n’ roll (both personal favs and I own the Deluxe edition of Hail hail Rock ‘n’ roll in which she features) now bases herself on Waiheke Island. BTW have you checked out the digitally remastered Beatles albums (I have Sgt Peppers and Abbey Rd but I’ve also heard Rubber Soul and Beatles for Sale) and the latest remastered Hendrix Electric Ladyland. Sadly only CDs but a giant leap in sound quality. Highly recommended nostalgia. Now I’m off down the road to buy LOTTO for this coming weekend. Festive Cheers >>>Lloyd... Cheers Tiens,

A DDD recording. Astounding to listen to on quality gear. In fact untill you hear it on good gear it's rather pedestrian. Enya’s Watermark. A DDD recording. Astounding to listen to on quality gear.

You can find it on \"Punk Jazz - the Jaco Pastorius Anthology\". It\'s Jaco doing a cover of a song originally by Bach. Quite impressive. Jaco Pastorius\’s Chromatic Fantasy.
