    I'm not particularly steeped in the whole trip-hop/lounge scene, but I've loved everything Thievery Corporation has ever done. They blend every genre under the sun into a truly satisfying, truly modern hybrid. Cosmic Game is even more eclectic than their other discs, in that it has less of an overarching vibe/sound and more of a collection of singles, due in part to guest spots by The Flaming Lips, Perry Farrell, David Byrne, et al. That's not to say it doesn't flow, only the tunes are more distinguishable.

    I kind of tuned out on them for a while (last disc I bought was One Hot Minute) but I'm digging this album. Kiedis has got to be the most melodic funk singer of all time. (OK, maybe Sly Stone edges him out

    I have not been a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan in the past, but I had the chance to sample every track of this one at Barnes & Noble....liked it...and bought it.

    Some of this sure ain't new but then again, neither am I.

    Ludwig van Beethoven "9 Symphonien" Berlin Philharmoniker (1963)
    Had this in vinyl back in the day and just picked up the CD release. Highly recommended for Beethoven junkies.

    Joe Zawinul & the Zawinul Syndicate "Vienna Nights"
    The guy is in his 70's and is still turning out new ways to express his music. One of my favorite Jazz composers.

    Al Di Meola "One Of These Nights" (DVD) 4.1
    If guitar is your thing, this DVD is probably your thing. Lousy video, great audio.

    Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "The Best of"

    Live! Marcia Ball "Down the Road"
    Best Marcia Ball CD yet cuz live is what she's all about. Uptempo Cajan Blues

    "The Best of Jean-Luc Ponty" & "The Very Best of Jean-Luc Ponty" Two CD's from different times in his career. Great stuff.

    Alison Krauss and Union Station "Runs Both Ways"
    I think they need to change direction a bit. They're starting to sound the same from album to album. It's OK but if ya have some of their other stuff you can skip this one.

    Does anyone listen to SACD's or DVD-A's? I have just upgraded to a Denon universal player and have found some excellent remixes for SACD and DVDA. It just seems that this genre never took off and isn't going to except for niche nerds.

    BTW - Dire Straights Brothers in Arms is excellent in SACD on a set of 340SE's and 170SE's

    I do enjoy SACD's and DVD-A's......

    Chuck, you being somewhat of a bass junky with your DIY sonotube, I suggest Donald Fagen's new release "Morph the Cat" in DVD-A.
