I'm happy you like it; I had thought you might dislike the edginess in their sound.

Don't let the ambient phase of my development color any perception of how edgy I am.

Spotify's screen is acting wonky since I updated my Windows. Can't get to the scroll bar on the side to get to the album.
Fucking hell.

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush (1970)
Felt the need to listen to this today after I realized that this album, often touted as Neil’s best and in my personal..oh, I’d say top 20, was left off the Mojo list. I understand they don’t want to overload picks of too many artists (Young, looking at the index, will have four in the series) but the omission of this one is just insulting

Academy Of St. Martin In The Fields (Neville Marriner, cond.) - Purcell: Opera Suites (1994)
Sometimes Baroque opera can be a bit challenging for modern audiences. For this release, Sir Neville and the Academy extracted the musical interludes from four of Purcell's operas to create a highly enjoyable program that showcases Purcell's instrumental compositions. All of these pieces are more than strong enough to stand on their own.

Juan Martín (Guitarra Flamenca) ~ The Andalucian Suites (1990)
From a Reviewer on Amazon:
From a Reviewer on Amazon:
Quite simply this album by Juan Martin, is fabulous. Not only do we get the incredible guitar performance that we might expect, but we also get an interesting composition that is full of the elements of Flamenco and history of Spain.
Suite one, depicts the invasion of the Moors into Spain and the focus on area of Andalucia. Woven into the composition is the "Zambra Mora" a Moorish dance form found in Flamenco.
In the second movement Juan Martin explores the Latin American influence that came from the discovery of the Americas with Columbus and here we get elements of South American rhythms found in Flamenco. This is realised through a Rumba sound. The third movement is sad and nostalgic, and the fourth movement has a strumming gypsy flavour.
Suite two is a fabulous composition by Juan Martin that is often abstract and introspective. Movement one pays homage to the area supported by the major river of Andalucia Guadalquivir. Once again, through the other movements he uses different influences as he explores Seville, Cordoba, Triana.
Suite three like the first two movements explores further reaches of Andalucia with City of Linares and a tribute to Segovia, Jerez, with a contemporary feel and Ronda, with its rugged beauty.
Suite four explores Cadiz and uses elements of the traditional Alegrias and Malaga with a different Flamenco style. The third movement pays homage to the gardens at Malaga, Segovia and Manuel de Falia and his "nights in the gardens of Spain" for piano and orchestra. The final movement is a estillo comera country style.
The whole album is rich in texture, colour and history and makes a fantastic sound of the Spanish Guitar and Flamenco. It is a great album with good sound and a magic performance.

The Clash - Combat Rock (1982)
When I first heard this in the 80s, I thought it was too commercial sounding.
