No year-end comp this year. I just haven't had time. But if you want to try out anything on the list, let me know.

I like that Herbert album. It came as a surprise to me since I never liked his older stuff.

Good list.

Should I understand what a picture of a guy running a gas chromatograph has to do with my list?

Thanks. I'd never heard anything of his before, but it surprised me too. I expected an electronic dancy record, but it's much more soulful (and I'm a sucker for the horns).

I like it, it grew on me, but liked the earlier stuff more. A disco record at #1 ....hmmmm.

Yeah, thanks again for introducing me to this. My wife really likes this one a lot too. It's a very good, mellow little record.

If you're referring to Mission of Burma, I've not heard the most recent record of theirs. It's one of many that I didn't get a chance to get/listen to last year.
