Check out my subjective lists of recommended CD’s. Some of these titles are very hard to find and some have only been released on CD in Japan – especially when it comes to AOR/WestCoast.

The Soul and Funk recommendations are mostly Old School stuff with some new releases thrown in.

The "Chill Out" CD’s are often released on small indie labels and can be a bit hard to obtain. Some of them are probably only available in Europe.

Wondering about exactly what tracks are on them, or simply want to buy it? Most album sleeves are linked directly to CDnow! In most cases with track listings and RealAudio/MPEG samples. 

…And yes, – I know, – there are lots of "great", "excellent" and "superb", but many of these titles are classics in my book, – carefully chosen from around 20.000 songs in my CD & LP collection…
