Album Stack
Here's the top of the Mix Jedi album stack. These are the albums recommended by our curators. Feel free to listen along with us.
If I Could Only Remember My Name by David Crosby (1971)
Generally known as the stoned sidekick - colorful, lovable, always just kind of around, this is David Crosby’s fingerprint; a foggy dream of psychedelic folk-rock. The album is a mostly a collaboration with some of the most popular names in music at the time, nearly all of them coming off respective career-bests and commercial peaks. And yet together, they sound gloriously abstract, with harmony and colors aplenty.

Automatic For The People by R.E.M. (1992)
It’s an album that - in surveying a fraught political landscape, the fragility of our mental health, and the fate of our planet - still speaks emphatically to our current condition. It’s just that the dark clouds it saw creeping in on the horizon have since erupted into a violent storm.

Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47 - Frang/WDR (2009)
Frang heralds one of the freshest and most vital accounts of the Sibelius concerto in recent years. On display from the beginning is a vivid sense of intellectual drive and emotional sinew in playing that taps into Scandinavian melancholy and suppressed passion to genuinely engaging effect. The slow movement is sweetly emotional, and she marries the finale’s mix of sinew and twinkle with unusual conviction.

Isolation Drills by Guided By Voices (2001)
This GBV album features tracks centered around big riffs rather than poppy vocal hooks. There is plenty to like with catchy melodies, tasteful production, quirky song structures, and sloppy, beer-soaked rawk. All songs are somewhat metaphoric, and many have down right singalong qualities.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinéad O'Connor (1990)
Here are flinty, quick-to-anger songs powered by outrage and indignation, and, significantly, a touch of hip-hop backbeat. O'Connor's dramatic turn-on-a-dime vocal performances cover topics from stormy relationships with parents, friends, and uncaring lovers; approaching each tune like she's poised for a confrontation.

Bach: From The W.F. Bach Notebook - Rübsam (1995)
Some of the most accessible and delightful music by J.S. Bach played on the piano, creatively interpreted by Wolfgang Rübsam.

You Got My Mind Messed Up by James Carr (1968)
A detailed account of what happens to a man consumed by love. The under appreciated Memphis singer delivers noble and heartfelt elaborations that rank among the most intense in all of soul. He should have been famous were he not overshadowed by other soul titans of the 1960s.

An Afternoon in Norway: The Kongsberg Concert by Art Pepper (1980)
In 2025, any new music from Art Pepper is a cause for celebration, as this alto sax legend died 43 years earlier. After a while, you assume the legacy is complete and the cupboard is bare. And then something like this falls into our laps: A late career recording that is one of his best, despite the hardships and health challenges he was dealing with at the time.

Liszt: Les préludes, Symphonic Poem No. 3, S. 97 - Solti/Chicago (1974)
This tone poem by Liszt is programmatic, emotional, and virtuosic. This award-winning performance by Sir Georg Solti renders it in all its glory.

Kashperova: Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 1, No. 1 in G Major - Levi/Edward (2021)
Over a hundred years since her composing career, Leokadiya Kashperova is finally being brought to a modern audience. This delightful Sonata is one of her earliest compositions and flows with romantic simplicity.

Fun & Games by The Connells (1989)
This is perhaps the best all-around set of songs that The Connells have put together, and a great introduction to their music for the new listener. There's actually quite a variety and on the whole Fun & Games is just plain fun to listen to. This is a band that has gone without acclaim, and though many people have labeled them pop, they are certainly a cut above that category. There's more talent here, both in songwriting and musicianship.

Flowers by The Rolling Stones (1967)
After a string of albums in the 1960s that showcased the bands roots and influences with a sampling of covers, Flowers is the band's first pop-rock-songwriter masterpiece, featuring the depth of Jagger-Richard songwriting. All songs are written by them with the exception of one Motown cover, and the most of the songs are classics.
