Hey, Brad, hope that minor surgery procedure went well and you could recover quickly.
1. King Crimson - Red (1974) vs. Miles Davis - On the Corner (1972)
When altitude dropping / My ears started popping / One more red nightmare.
2. The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987) vs. The Pentangle - Basket of Light (1969)
Love is a basket of light / Grasping so tight / Shining bright / Just staying the right to be caught in the night.
3. Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music I (2007) vs. Tears for Fears - The Hurting (1983)
Could you ease my load / Could you see my pain / Could you please explain / The hurting.
4. Duke Ellington and His Orchestra - Masterpieces by Ellington (1951) vs. Saint Etienne - Tiger Bay (1994)
You ain't been blue, no, no, no / You ain't been blue / Till you've had that mood indigo.

Of the ones remaining:
Miles Davis - On The Corner 93
The Pentangle - Basket Of Light 86
Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music 1 86
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Masterpieces By Ellington 86
The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me 84
King Crimson - Red 82
Saint Etienne - Tiger Bay 81
Tears For Fears - The Hurting 64
I need to relisten to Basket of Light and Program Music 1, I don't remember that much about them except I wrote down that I like them.
Very even final eight for me, with the exception of On The Corner which I find exceptional and The Hurting which I find just decent.

Thanks for the kind words Honorio - all went well... more painkillers involved than I would have liked, but I'm almost back to "normal" now!Honorio wrote:Hey, Brad, hope that minor surgery procedure went well and you could recover quickly.
