5 instrumental albums. probably, Classic Music 17-16-19 centuries. Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, etc.

Enigma can be.

with all my love for the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson and Depeche Mode, they can get bored with the times.

Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do

Ani DiFranco - Dilate

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Henryk Gorecki - Symphony No. 3

I could easily list 100 honorable mentions, but at this point those are the five I would pick without a doubt. If I could go to six it would be something jazz, probably some Coltrane.

Cinny,

Eart, Wind, & Fire, Eternal Dance came out in 98

I think they had another box-set better than that... I think Soul knows something about that one. Maybe he'll post the info / link again.

1998 was already one of the reissues, I just checked my old Access database, I bought my box on Feb 24th 1992 geek and I think it was pretty newly released then

there is the complete Columbia Masters with ALL the single albums. but that is not one album and does not count
