Pearly Tunes, In-transit To Heaven

These I selected for my today's Playlist in the background.

Let's imagine there's a Heaven. If the following are the sort of things that are playing, I won't be shy about dancing through the gates to these pearly tunes: Karl Jenkins's 'Hymn To The Dance', Jai Uttal's 'Pahari'. The rest of the tunes here are for the in-transit flight. I should mention another excellent version of 'Music For A Found Harmonium' - that of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Luka Bloom does a sweet, guitar-accompanied version of 'I'll Walk Beside you'. My favourite all-time classical female singer Janet Baker does a heart-rending version of 'Dido's Lament'. Sample Jeff Buckley - not of the earth earthly - doing it finely. (By the way, Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC, last week came out with the results of its 'all-time-greatest albums' poll, where Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' came second on the list. I think he would have made a gorgeous version of Ivor Novello's 'The Land of Might Have Been'. Here are the Australians in action - or at least the ones who weren't out looking for forbidden fruits, or buying new albums or at the beach:

Pink Floyd — Dark Side of the Moon
Jeff Buckley — Grace
Radiohead — OK Computer
The Beatles — Abbey Road
The Beatles — Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Nirvana — Nevermind
Led Zeppelin — Four
Red Hot Chili Peppers — Blood Sugar Sex Majik
Meat Loaf — Bat Out of Hell
U2 — Joshua Tree
