Jackie Leven - The Mystery Of Love Is Greater Than The Mystery Of Death
A stonewall classic, completely overlooked when released in the 90's.

What a fascinating character Jackie Leven was, and an eventful life to say the least.

Went and had a quick listen on Youtube to 'Promises' by Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders and the LSO. This looks like just the sort of multi-genre, attention-fixing record that really gets me excited.

Also realised that there are another couple of discs from this year that I hadn't got around to,:
Yes 'The Quest' and Tesseract 'Portals'.

All 3 were reasonably-priced om Amazon - so they have been ordered. :dance:
