Just looked it up: "The Man From Ipanema." (figures)

Listening to now:

Chinese Checkers -- Booker T. and the MGs

Does the rest of his stuff convey that same utopian imagery when you listen to it? Everytime I hear that LH track I feel like I'm in a grocery store's produce section buying fruit & vegtables amidst all these artificially beautiful & perfectly serene people..

It's all languid, all exotic, generally sung an eighth of a tone flat in critical places, all achingly beautiful. ;-)

NUDE - Vast

One of my favorite artists, music is among the best, but takes a while to grow on you. This is quite an amazing album, but of course I like all of Vast's albums. It would seem that I disagree with a few views Jon Crosby has (religious idiology etc.) but I can very much relate to the heartbreak vibe and message in many of his songs. He's also quite incredible to see in concert (although he plays it safe, no major improvisation, but sounds nearly perfect) and has an amazing voice that never misses a note no matter how high an octave it gets to. The forum moderaters at his site can kiss my ass though, as a simple question I asked (as a well intentioned and supportative fan) was totally handled in the wrong sort of way. He needs to get new people to run his site, the people running the show now are very close-minded and unprofessional.

Thanks for the heads up; I'm grossly deficient in the easy listening end of my collection's spectrum. Maybe that's what's wrong with me..

Heh, it's not all easy. There's menace among the palms and tropical birds. ;-) But even the menace is gorgeous.

Also pick up all the music you can find by early radical action stereo space-age weirdness composer Juan Garcia Esquivel. Sophisticated jokes? Views of a future that never was? Your guess is as good as mine.

Oxygene 13... and in my mind's ear I'm hearing the singer on Jobim's "So Insensitive" along with Jarre's music.

Heeeee...
