What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

It's about five minutes till 2AM, and I've got David Benoit, Orchestral Stories, in my transport right now from last night.. a 2005 CD I listened to back then, but never cared for until I smoked a joint last night and happened to listen again... WOW!... This recording needs to be turned up to be appreciated, simply because of the melodies and dynamics involved in the music/composition. To me, Orchestral Stories is good music for a solitary experience between you and your stereo system!

Hey Pokey - Listening to Band of Horses on Spotify...Cease to Begin. Their name seems familiar (maybe you mentioned them previously). They've probably been around for a decade or more and I'm just catching on. Getting to be a misanthropic CRANK in my old age. Lots of male singers in so many of the younger (hipster?) bands annoy the heck out of me. Liking instrumentals more as a result. BofH is a happy exception. Thanks for the tip. Seems like there is something here worth exploring further. Islands on the Coast! Yeah!!

Gslone - solitary is the name of the game (mostly).

Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs

GH - Ya, I like Band of Horses for sure. First heard them on Pandora and many of the songs played there are from Cease... Makes me want to check out more.

Big Country - Steeltown

Robert Forster - Warm Nights

Bill LLoyd - Back to Even

The Grays - Roshambo

Pokey - thanks for your separate recommendation of "Self Help Serenade" by Marjorie Fair. What a gorgeous recording. Enjoyed it very much. Evan Slamka is truly gifted. Looking forward to further time with Robert Forster and exploring the other recommendations you have made here.
