current Top 5

[Rolf.Peukert@Theoinf.TU-Ilmenau.DE (Rolf Peukert)]

Hi,

I find it's impossible to give an all-time top 5 list, cause my taste changes,
depending on mood and season. So here's what i played in the last few weeks:

Lou Reed - Set The Twilight Reeling
Bob Marley - Legend
    this is a best-of compilation, my only Bob Marley album, but certainly
    one of the most played CDs during summer.
Renaissance - Prologue, Ashes Are Burning, Turn Of The Cards
    Progressive/Art Rock band, wonderful vocals by soprano singer Annie Haslam
Curved Air - Air Conditioning, Second Album, Midnight Wire
    Progressive/Art Rock band, a bit more eccentric than Renaissance. 
    With Sonja Kristina (vocals), Darryl Way (Violin).
Slapp Happy (that's the band's name. I would never slap Happy.)
    another rediscovery: their album "Acnalbasac Noom"
    was hard to find, is hard to describe, kind of weird folkrock.
    "How did Franz Kafka keep so thin?
     He ate himself from within."  ("Everybody's Slimmin")

Other that would have been on this list some time ago, and will be again,
in no particular order:
Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, The Beatles, Neil Young, ZZ Top, Bap, B52's, 
Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells only), Tori Amos, Enya, Clannad, Cowboy Junkies,
Laurie Anderson, Happy Rhodes, Heather Nova, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart,
Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Texas, The Doors, The Nits...
oops, this is going to become a list "Records I don't regret buying"...

yes, Basia Trzetrzrelewska was singer with Matt Bianco (album "Whose Side
Are You On?") and had a remarkable solo album ("Time And Tide"),
recommended to everyone who liked Matt Bianco's first album more than their
secomd.

bye,
Rolf
