back to the 4 piles of cds sitting on top of my record player & stereo. i promised i'd tell u the truth, and not leave any out ...
rear left pile, bottom to top:
* various artists: soundtrack to the french film ‘diva’ (which is great, by the way)
* the brand new heavies: shelter
* annie lennox: diva
* bach: orchester-suiten nr. 1 und nr. 2
* the brand new heavies: brother sister
* crowded house: woodface
* crowded house: together alone
* various artists: coastal chill
* guns n’ roses: appetite for destruction (burned)
* lior: autumn flow (burned)
* tom waits: closing time (burned)
* mozart: piano concertos nos. 22 & 25
* tuck & patti: tears of joy (burned)
* brooklyn funk essentials: cool and steady and easy
* john coltrane: blue train
* marcel kayath: guitar classics from latin america
* the black crowes: the southern harmony and blues companion (borrowed)
there u go. i love that 'diva' soundtrack - it probably comes close to making my list of favourite albums actually - it could could go close to making say my top 20. the operatic 'aria from la wally' which opens & closes the album is brilliant, as are other tracks like 'sentimental walk'. as i recall, the film is very good too - but it's been a loong time since i saw it, and i'd love to see it again sometime.
on reflection, this pile's contents are probably more varied than those of the other two piles i've already listed. there are some great albums in there, i think, but also probably at least 1 or 2 mediocre ones ... in fact there are a couple in there with which i am not fully familiar (which ones?).
what albums are contained in the 4th pile? watch this space ... ;-D

The tension is building now - what shall they be? I am not suprised that you have crowded house in there. Thanks to you I have been flogging the stone roses all afternoon.
Oh, nust tell you this other silly thing. Have come to realise that your brain scan reminds me of something -ned kelly's death mask - except more colourful, of course. Well maybe I shouldn't have said it because it's a terrible thing to say - but it does , doesn't it?
That is not such an embarrassing album collection, but is that because they were from piles on top of the stereo? Reading that post I was hoping you would name some really bad ones.
thanx lee & leonard for your comments.
crowded house: bought both albums in a 'set' earlier this year for $12 in big-w (dept store). previously had both (well, originally my partner bought them) on cassette.
lee - i also had previously thought this scan pic looked like a death mask, and indeed that of ned kelly (australian bushranger) came to mind ... perhaps the similarity somehow reflects the irish ancestry he & i both have?? i dunno ...
