PS - the last apple they had was from 1996...what's the one you have?
EddieRay said:Yeah, Wildflowers is one of my all-time favorites. Every track is a gem.
Another one I always thought was extremely well done is Close To The Edge (Yes).
Has anyone heard the recent (about a year old now) Los Lobos CD? There's a rawness to it that I really like. Can't really put my finger on it.
daav said:If you like that Los Lobos, cehck out the spin off band, The Latin Playboys, very raw, very cool music. Not sure if it would qualify as mainstream or well recorded mixed, but it has found its way into my regular rotaion of music.
Edit album name = Dose.

Ah yes ...thanks - just got back from Streetlight with a used copy, from 1999 it looks like. At least I won't be seeing the red lights on my converters!!! Queueing it up right now...chessrock said:All of Fiona Apples mixes sound great. I was thinking of "When the Pawn" in particular. Very simple, stripped-down, etc. Her vocals sound perfect, basically. Perfectly comressed, balanced, etc. The drums always sound perfect ... even the samples / loops.
