Thanks, BigD. So far (just a little way in) this one's a little bit too "cosy" in style for my ear. I'm liking the Grant Green better.
ETA, I certainly admire the guitar playing, but it burbles a little too harmlessly for me right now.
And from one guitar album to a very, very, very different one. I've been eyeballing this for several months, in fact for a few months running it has been the album I told myself I would have downloaded next if I just had $6 more credit that month on emusic. I've been held at bay by being unable to find anywhere I could stream much of it and by the resulting hesitation at spending $5.99 on a 71 minute track based on a 30 second sample. But I've loved his other stuff, and this is intriguing if a little spooky so far...
Le Fil by Camille: a drone passes through all the album's songs, and with spare instrumentation (mostly looped vocal samples) there's some inventive songwriting. Often compared to Björk, she's more like Kate Bush and Stina Nordenstam.

Streaming at Guvera -- for something compared to Curve, it's not moving me.
Thank you Guvera...excellent east meets west, Jan Garbarek and Ustad Fateh Ali Khan.

On Spotify. Just listened to an interview with Williams on NPR this morning.
Mark Harris - An Idea of North/Learning to Walk
Delightful. (Might be a one-credit album for you Euro emusic folk?)
Thanks, BigD
Thanks again, BigD, and Guvera, and I guess Amazon where this has only 5* reviews, which drew my attention.
Thanks, amc2. It's missing all the long tracks at Guvera at the moment.

Guvera.
Guvera. This is a whole different guitar avenue you might want to check out GP; lines up well with ambient in some ways.
Finally caught up on a lot of my re-tagging.
