I've been listening to the ECM record label since the 1970s. You can always count on ECM to put out interesting and sometimes great records.
My favorite ECM release is Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." It's not only my favorite ECM album, it's one of my top albums of all-time. A real desert island record for me. A few of my other favorite regular ECM artists are Steve Tibbetts, Eberhard Weber & Pat Metheny.
We had a discussion about our favorite ECM recordings here on Mixcloud posts. You can read or join in the thread here - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/posts/favorite-ecm-albums/
I decided it wouyld be cool to make a mix of my top ten favorite ECM albums. I put it together in chronological order, starting with Ralph Towner & a fantastic version of Icarus. And ending with a 2017 album from Björn Meyer.
