Any suggestions on beautiful albums to add to my collection?

'Joan As Police Woman' - Joan As Police Woman
'Milkwhite Sheets' - Isobel Campbell
'Amorino' - Isobel Campbell
'The Bells of 1 2' - Sol Seppy
'Antidepressant' - Lloyd Cole
'The Captain And The Kid' - Elton John

Geesh Alan that is a tough question because I could send you my whole iTunes list. But at the moment "Millions" from XTC's "Drums and Wires" is playing. Here are a few that get heavy rotation, when Bill's not on that is.

King Crimson/Robert Fripp. Check out Trey Gunn if you already haven't. Harold Budd, Les Baxter, Beck, Belle and Sebastian, Martin Denny, Flatt and Scruggs, Kings of Convenience, Sons of the Pioneers, David Sylvian, Klaus Nomi, California Guitar Trio, The Shadows, Kraftwerk, Blondie, Kate Bush and the list could go on and on.
