Cuckooland comes highly recommended, it was my first intro to him and still my favourite.

I don't believe he's done anything bad. I'd recommend all hos solo work.

gets my vote:

shipbuilding (my favourite song OF ALL TIME!!)

A certain Kind by Soft Machine

The Highest Gander (wait for the chorus - its worth it)

Also love The Sea song as mentioned above

but also give 'Shleep' a listen - it features the beautiful Maryan.

out next month which includes his take on some jazz standards. By strange coincidence I just ordered his EP's album this am which has the aforementioned Shipbuilding plus I'M a believer. I would nominate Rock Bottom as my favourite of his but Comicopera is excellent.

...won't be to everyone's taste, I guess, but a whole Cd of this generally gentle, whimsical fusion has a mesmerising effect. Go for 'On The Radio' if you feel tempted...

Victor Jara's "Te recuerdo Amanda", originally on the "Amber and the Amberines" EP.

His cover of the Chic song is a thing of wonder. Rock Bottom is the key to it all, I think, though Ruth is Stranger than Richard is beautiful, too.
