Ahmad Jamal - Jamal Plays Jamal (1974)

I really like this album. It's piano-driven jazz, but not without its share of bass and drum bits too. And strings! Very nice strings here and there. It's far from being considered a jazz classic or anything like that, although Jamal is well know enough, I just like it. I listened to this album on repeat while reading Ryu Murakami's book Almost Transparent Blue. Doing that created some strong attachment to this album for me, so that's probably why it's here. You might recognize part of the second song," Pastures" from somewhere. It looped for a pretty hook on "Feelin' It" off Unreasonable Doubt. Anyway, enjoy, this is good stuff, especially if you're looking to relax.

If you want one of them, get them all, you'll also get nine billion versions of "Fly Me To The Moon." These soundtracks are serious gold, though, if you're into anime. Strings, gigantic horn sounds, just immediately nostalgic if you spent your pre-adolescent/early adolescent years obsessing over this stuff. If you didn't, I both envy and feel sorry for you. (Also, these links are megaupload, I apologize for them not being mediafire, but the zipped files are too big for mediafire without splitting them up, and that's all a pain in the ass for everyone, especially me.)

Neon Genesis Evangelion OST 1

I will post stuff at 320kbps when it's available as such. Those of you who don't know the importance of that, I suggest a google search into finding out, it's not hard, and it's much better to know. That said, here's the first of three anime soundtracks, to Neon Genesis Evangelion, at 320 bit rate. It's a good soundtrack, but probably not worth getting unless you've seen the show, and since those of you who have are likely the only ones who would be interested, I won't explain what it's like, so here ya go with OST 1:
