From the oozing sax of the opener, Bati Bati, to the gentle pulsing loop of the closer, Ethiopia, Gigi`s seductive voice leads us through some beautifully produced traditional East African music.

Greenhouse by Leo Kottke (1972)
OK, it`s been around a long time - in fact it`s been around since before New Age and Americana were commonly used terms - but this is still my favourite LK album; seven tracks of sparkling, unadorned accoustic guitar and four vocal tracks

And here`s a last-minute nomination from Frownland that Janszoon has just squeezed onto the poll for us :-
