I dusted down the guitar over the past few days and taught myself the guitar intro to ‘Eight Line Poem’ one my favourite Bowie songs.

Air | Moon Safari | 1998
It took me nearly 25 years to get back to playing this after many years of home listening and parts of it elsewhere in the universe being constantly played everywhere, jaded me. After that hiatus, I’ve now been able to enjoy it once again over the past year or so.

Sure. These three are all accessible classics of their kind: The Mirror Conspiracy by Thievery Corporation; 10 Years by Banco De Gaia (an excellent compilation); Simple Things by Zero 7. And a couple of bonus choices: Mezzanine by Massive Attack; Decksanddrumsandrockandroll by Propellerheads.
If you’re looking for something more challenging, the options are endless.
Hope that helps. Happy listening.

COPLAND, A.: Tender Land Suite (The) / CRESTON, P.: Saxophone Concerto / PISTON, W.: The Incredible Flutist Suite (Mattix, T. McAllister, Falletta)
This recording brings together four extraordinary mid-20th-century composers who helped shape America’s musical destiny. Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land is a moving tribute to the American rancher and farmer. It forms a profound celebration of those unsung heroes of that country’s landscape, and is perhaps his greatest expression of the preciousness of life. Walter Piston is represented by his colourful and beguiling The Incredible Flutist, which depicts a traveling circus led by a magical musician who is able to heal the sorrows of those who hear his music. The two premiere recordings here are the original orchestral version of Paul Creston’s thrilling Saxophone Concerto, and Ulysses Kay’s Pietà – a beautiful elegy inspired by Michelangelo’s masterpiece.
