Nurse With Wound "The Little Dipper Minus Two (Echo Poeme Sequence 1)"
The Folklore of the Moon series of 3" cds released in time and tune with the fullness of the moon. What a great idea! It also ensures that I get something in the mail every month.

There were lots of things that would probably have made the list if I'd been able to afford everything I was interested in, and a few other things that might be on here if I'd written this yesterday or tomorrow. It's all so subjective, isn't it?
