Hey, Pavane: I have Liege & Lief. First bought it on one of those, black, shiny looking things with a hole in the center. Now I have it on CD... be happy to share it..
This morning, I took another spin on my large CD tower. One side is gospel and blues, one is rock and rhythm and blues, one is folk, blues and country, and my classical and "World music" is in there, too. I have a large tower just of jazz, so I know what kind of music I'll get if I sample from there. My folk music is in the rotating tower, so I have a one in four chance of pulling out a folk CD. If I don't hit it by chance soon, I'll see which side is folk, and then pick something at random without reading the cover.
The CD I pulled out this morning was from my rock side, and it's a good one I haven't listened to in ages: Murmur by R.E.M. I think that it's one of the best of their early albums. I overdosed on R.E.M. two or three years ago, when they were in heavy rotation in my CD player. It's been a long time since I listened to any of their stuff, but like Police, they are one of my favorite groups. I'm looking forward to putting this CD on when I get off the computer.
Later today, I'll find the folk section and pull something out without looking. Who knows what great, forgotten stuff I'll find.
I enjoy reading about the CD that you pulled out... introduces me to new music..
