Architecture And Morality
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Clearly brings me back to the 1980's. It's good, but I am not sure i actually want to go back.

Hot Chip
Once again, the typical sound of pop 1980's electronic music.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
I have not spent much time listening to Sinatra. I love these bossa nova compositions and have both performed and listened to many versions. This is good. Very good. I may go back and listen to early Sinatra to see what's there. thanks for this suggested album.

I have heard Groove is the Heart but had no idea who Deee-Lite really was. Great dance music. Love it!

The New Tango
Astor Piazzolla
I have followed Gary Burton since my college days in the 1970's and have seen him perform live several times in that era with various musicians including a young Pat Metheny and Eberhard Weber. I generally love what he does but am frustrated (perhaps bored) occasionally by obscure experiments of his. This is good but not great. Check out Burton's album "Passengers" if you want him at an exciting moment in music.

What a game changer! The premier jazz-rock-funk album. This is where it all started.

Nice background music for baking. I enjoyed it for what it is. I don't dance much anymore but I appreciated the beat. No catchy hooks as you might expect, just a solid beat.

Fever Ray
I have liked and listened to this since "Vikings" used their music. I love it although I have to listen to it alone since my wife thinks I am ramping up my torture room when this is on.

Heavy Weather
Weather Report
I followed Weather Report since the beginning. Earliest albums were hard to like, even though I wanted to. Middle albums were a great mix of (at the time) modern jazz and rock. Truly amazing. This latter period is when the band needed the money and went all commercial on us. This album is like backround rock karoke. Too pop for a jazz rock listener.

Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis
I like Miles but this seemed a bit dated. Good, but too structured to not sound dated.
