"Talking Timbuktu," Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure. Great music and excellent sonics. Coincidentally, I was just listening to it, when I took a break to check audiogon and caught your thread.

Dr. L. Subramanian - "Global Fusion". Unreal blend of South Indian influences on modern jazz/rock/fusion. This is very accessible, enthralling, rhythmic and beautiful music. A pretty nice CD transfer that sounds very good (but slightly digital).
