"Feed me!"

I sometimes feel like the plant Audrey II in "Little Shop of Horrors". My hunger, my insatiable desire and hunger for more and more music, although not being totally sick as one could consider - I've managed over the years to build my collection upon radical clearances of unnecesary records - lies very much on constant information andf investigation. This means regular newsletters, magazines, books and serious time surfing the net. But still, there's always more and more to discover and enjoy. What a tremdous pleasure and expectation to know that a great song or album is just literally around the corner!

These days, as another deadline comes colser for my section Másàjazz in SERIE B I spend some time extra making sure I'm not missing a last minute jewel. But, boy, there's lots slipping through your fingers if you are not awake. And very often I realise, once the mag's edition is closed, I missed something truly amazing.. So I've decided that, every now and then, I'll feature a "miss" record over here. Either the album comes from a few months ago or a couple of years. There's so much music that stands the pass of time, easily overlooked, that I feel the urge to start doing this straight away. In the meantime: what is your suggestion? Which sonng or album did you recently miss or overlook?
