CR>Recently, I've acquired a few things:
CR>I've already left a message about the Peter and the Wolf by
CR>Lancaster/Lumley and others.
  Love this album and your description is very accurate.  My favorite
 tracks are the first one (with the superb Moog) and the wild violin
 blues.  I feel the same about the songs you didn't like.
CR>Bruford -- Gradually Going Tornado
CR>  I don't like the singer, but the music is good.  So far, "Gothic
CR>  17" stands out for me.  I think I could get into this after I learn
CR>  to get over the singer (I did the same thing with Allan
CR>Holdsworth's _IOU_). 
   It's true, the vocals are pretty flat.  Reminds me of Level 42.
 I tend to go for Gothic 17, Sliding Floor (despite the vocals) and
 Joe Frazier.  On a solo project, Berlin did a killer remake of that
 last one.
CR>Al Dimeola -- Land of the Midnight Sun
CR>  This is a great album.  It's a toss-up for me whether this or
CR>  _Elegant Gypsy_ is my favorite.  What should I get next?
  Well, that's back in his early days.  Sounds like he had something
 to prove... and he did.  Since I don't know your tastes or what you
 have by him, I don't know where you should go next.  Electric Rendez-
 Vous came later but has some of the energy from his first ones.  My
 favorite would be Tirami Su.
Cheers,
Paul C.
