You should be a bit more optimistic; they could point you in the direction of their Barclay James Harvest section.. Big smile

I can tell that I've never classified the albums on the main list of my collection, and I can't imagine to do it now,
as I find it too complicated.

Top 12 Oddities & Obscurities from My CD Collection (across 12 different genres of music)

David Axelrod - Songs of Experience (Jazz Rock/Fusion)
Banco de Gaia - Last Train to Lhasa (Dance)
David Bowie - Space Oddity - (Pop/Rock) - an obvious choice! Wink
Cantamus - Aurora (Classical Crossover) - a girls' choir from Mansfield Heart
Holger Czukay - Movies (the only Krautrock album in my entire collection) Shocked
Strange Country (compilation)
Strange Folk (compilation)
Strange Soul (compilation)
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Nat Geo (Progressive Electronic)
Secret Garden - Songs from a Secret Garden (New Age) - winners of the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway in 1995, so maybe not so obscure after all. Embarrassed
Tarja Turunen - Henkays Ikuisuudesta (Symphonic Metal - although not really Metal at all) Wacko
The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds (Psychedelic Rock)


If anyone else here at PA has any of these albums in their collection, then they're probably not as obscure as I thought. Smile

My collection is a bit bigger, about 450 albums and mostly LP's, and I don't intend to make it much bigger, either. Smile


One important thing to add David, is that my CDs are keenly guarded by my collection of 18 'Brambly Hedge' mice... Big smile
We need a photo of that Jared.
