A recurrent theme on the Naim forum is to remember that Hi-Fi is just a means to an end - great music. I know that part of the forum is dedicated to music, but I wanted to start a musical thread here as an antidote to excessive Hi-Fi-itis, which we all occasionally suffer from.

What I am looking for is the CD which has had most effect on you in the last year.

I will start it off with Lene Marlin's "Playing the game". Since I bought it, it has been on my player every few days. It has some of the catchiest tunes and beautiful singing I have heard in a long, long time.

Nic P

- senor blues

- When we were young

Rollo's (Faithless) solo album. No comments, listen for yourself!

Hardly been out of my CD player since I got it.

Joel has threatened to give a good whipping to the person who started a "CD of the year" thread prematurely. I sort of agree, as I do a lot of buying in the fall. Perhaps we could wait until December at least?

Vuk.

Jeff buckley's album "Grace" was my favorit CD this year.

Franz

hmmm Joel, has this stirred you in to action yet?

Rico - musichead

- unique

don't know if it's available outside sweden, but if it is, go have a listen.

My Naim dealer didn't tell me I'd have to feed the bloody thing.

So anyway; when I'd worked that out.........

Vigilantes Of Love I suppose with 'Audible Sigh'

Thanks again to 'Uncle Bob Harris'.
