makoto's listening room

Everyday I surround myself with all sorts of different music, so I thought that I would share some of the music that I've been listening to the most lately.

Even today there is still so much wonderful music in the world. And no doubt there is still much music that I have yet to discover. On this page, each week I will choose three records from my collection that I've been listening to a lot over the past seven days. I'm not an obsessive record collector, so I won't be providing any erudite information about these records. All I'm trying to do is share some of my favourite sounds with you all. There are times, of course, when some information about a particular musician might be necessary, but for me I'm happy just to be surrounded by their wonderful music. I've included the name of the label that released each record, so if you're interested you can try and track them down for yourself. Though some of them may be hard to get hold of.

I'll be happy if this page provides you with the chance to encounter some new music, or perhaps to rediscover an old favourite. If you've got any comments, views, or questions please post them on our bulletin board. I'll do my best to answer any questions. And if my selections spark ofsome discussion, all the better!
