(Some <em>very<\/em> odd.) It took more than ten years for me to finally collate all of them and rip them onto hard disk. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly, a small number of them fell by the wayside. I think I know where they ended up, and with whom. I have since replaced a few of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Orb &#8212; <cite>Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld<\/cite><br \/>I&#8217;ve replaced this already, with the super-extended version from iTunes featuring a heap of pointless remixes. It&#8217;s still a magnificent album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden Palominos &#8212; <cite>This Is How It Feels<\/cite><br \/>I found a secondhand copy of this. Still smooth and sophisticated with a nice keen edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne Dudley &#8212; <cite>Ancient and Modern<\/cite><br \/>This is so out of print that it&#8217;s not available on Amazon, iTunes, or anywhere that I can find. Eventually I managed to get a copy on&nbsp;eBay for $1 (bargain!) plus $10 shipping (ripoff!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And at some point I will have the pleasure of replacing these fine albums:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loreena McKennett &#8212; <cite>The Mask and the Mirror<\/cite><br \/>I&#8217;m slightly sad to lose this. It was the double disc Australian tour version, signed by Loreena herself after her wonderful concert at the State Theatre in Sydney many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dub Syndicate &#8212; <cite>One Way System<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madonna &#8212; <cite>Ray of Light<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><cite>Caf\u00e9 del Mar<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><cite>Caf\u00e9 del Mar volume 2<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alanis Morissette &#8212; <cite>Jagged Little Pill<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually I won&#8217;t be replacing all of these. There&#8217;s always too much music around and these get shunted down the queue. I do have a hankering for that Loreena McKennett album though. Happily, it is on Spotify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:album:6Pjxk6SsZUD2FmGYZjnNQw\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<!-- wpsso rrssb get buttons: buttons on archive option not enabled -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I relocated to (or was it from?) the other side of the world 14 years ago, my chattels included 1000-odd CDs.
