Magician's Hat by Bo Hansson. He's a Swedish keyboard player who did an album based on Lord of the Rings in the 70s. Magician's Hat is surprisingly good - a little wierd in places.

Last night my Amazon order arrived and I was browsing through Rodrigo and Gabriella "Live in Japan", an OK rock violin CD by David Garrett "self titled", and JohnK's recent pick of Mahler's mammoth Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection".
I played the last one in it's entirety. As always, JohnK can sure pick em when it comes to impeccable audio in classical recordings.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Glad to hear that you were resurrected, Andrew.

Jeff Beck's new Emotion & Commotion. It an unusual mix with (only) a few loud and funky tracks, the majority being very mellow and a few that are cinematic / orchestral. I like it, though it might depend on a persons mood. There are three tracks with vocalists, two of the tracks being Joss Stone. Sound quality seems good without feeling too compressed. Kind of New Age Jeff Beck.
Best Buy has it on sale this week with a bonus half-hour DVD with CrossRoads 2007 performances.
I also picked up Jason Mraz's We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Liking that one quite a bit also.

I just previewed it on Amazon. Not exactly my cup of tea.

For those of you into this type of thing, Slash's new album is actually pretty good. Basic rock music with basic lyrics--certainly not breaking any new ground and certainly not a classic--but it's good to listen to while exercising. I don't know what I was expecting from a Slash album, but for whatever reason the album surprised me a bit.
