Just had a look at prices for A Strange Encounter on Discogs and yes indeed! My copy is only download files though, don’t think I ever saw a CD of this. The other rare one is the first self done album Falls In The Dark but I only have a cdr of that courtesy of a friend.

Or will we

I live in hope. His love of music was inspiring, if expensive to the people like me who couldn’t resist the music he introduced us to.

Pete_the_painter · June 9, 2020, 11:39pm

Agreed, he was always part of the forum. Time will tell I guess, I’ll play some Steely Dan latter today see if that flushes him out.

@narcom recommended classical music from Schmelzer a couple months ago. It raised my interest as it was played by Ensemble Masques, a Quebec-based Baroque ensemble I had never heard of before.

After some research, I found that gem. Routes du café (Coffee Roads, in French) features music by English, French, German (J-S Bach), Turkish and Canadian composers about Coffee. Who knew that Bach had writen a “Coffee Cantata”? I certainly didn’t.

After a first listen, it is a blend of classical and oriental music, and great singing. Plus the sound quality is beyond reproach.
