On the DVD-A front, I've really been enjoying Robert Cray's "Time will Tell" and Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells". I know the latter received so-so reviews, and I must say that I prefer the hi-rez 2 channel mix to the 5.1 mix.

In standard CD form, I also picked up a couple of Dave's True Story's latest albums. I have been a big fan of their 2 early Chesky recordings (Sex without Bodies and Unauthorized) - both great recordings and suitably satirical for a smile or two. The two recent acquisitions are Nature and Simple Twist of Fate (the latter being Dylan covers). Both have great songcraft and form and are good recordings, if not quite up to the standard of the earlier Chesky recordings. I just wish I lived near NYC to see these guys live on a regular basis.

Cheers, Ian
