The Human League - Travelogue (I would often just play "the black hit of space" off this - and as a result I'd forgotten just how great the rest of the record is - esp. Only After Dark, Dreams of Leaving and Toyota City, and the dark Crow and A Baby)
Don Cherry - Relativity Suite (up there with Brown Rice and Organic Music Society - also has some of Haden's best raga double bass stylings)
The Jam - Snap (perhaps one of the most perfect double best-ofs ever)
Terje Rypdal - Terje Rypdal
Material - Seven Souls (recently heard their early 80s material and was blown away) - do you know there early stuff IanB? Temporary Music 1 and 2 - some great bass playing - ethnological african/Asian
music(s) with a funk-punk energy and atmospheric cinematic quality. Seven Souls has William Burroughs reading on it.
Soft Machine - Six (up there with Vol 2 in my opinion, but with obvious differences. "The Soft Weed Factor" sees the Softs (under the auspices of Karl Jenkins) pay tribute to the mantric musical principles of Terry Riley et al.
Stomu Yamash'ta - Red Buddha and Man From the East (with Red Buddha Theater)
Sigur Ros - Sven-G-Englar
Michael Hoenig - Departure from the Northern Wasteland
Wigwam - Nuclear Nightclub
Magna Carta - Songs from Wasties Orchard
Bo Hansson - Sagan Om Ringen
Don Cherry (& Others) The Holy Moountain O.S.T.
Loka - Passing Place
