Acoustique

So, this week's list was fun to put together, and I got a little eclectic with my choices. Hope you're feeling a bit adventurous (not much, just a little). Yes, I've got a dupe from Cabeza's list, but I think it's deserving of a double listen. African Dream is a band I heard on the street in Cape Town last year. I bought their CDs and they became the soundtrack for that trip. As for the classical tracks, #1 is the 1984 Karajan recording, #10 was done in 1959 with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra (really the New York Philharmonic) and #12 was done in... well, I'm not sure. And I'm 99.999% certain that every bit of this list is acoustic. Enjoy folks.
