Ecclesium: Wexford Carol
This arrangement is by Philip Stopford, sung in Belfast Cathedral, Northern Ireland.. to me, this is real Christmas music, real religious and spiritual music, and truly timeless art.. choral music doesn't get any better than this.. Kudos to Stopford for this sublime arrangement as well, this is the best version I've heard or could find. I can easily listen to this year round.

Jethro Tull: Skating Away On the Thin Ice of a New Day (live)

Excellent video quality - too bad all 70's music doesn't have this quality.. looks like a live for tv film..
Be Bop Deluxe: Live Jam 77
(title unknown) - live jam from 77, recalls Cream and the Allman Brothers, thanks to the keyboards..

Be Bop Deluxe: Shine (Live)
Be Bop Deluxe: Awesome and rare live version of "Shine" recorded in Rhode Island in 1978.. more jazzy than normal, Bill Nelson was never better
BeBop Deluxe: Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape (live)
Amazing guitar solo here from Bill Nelson, about as fluid as you can hear in a rock guitar solo.. ok, so he's been influenced a little by Santana, at about 6:25 you can hear a little signature of Duane Allman's as well.. this has to be an intentional music nod, one guitarist to another

Photek: T'rainon
PHOTEK did the awesome soundtrack for the 2006 film Dreamland, which I haven't been able to find online (the soundtrack cd that is.. the film is pretty good but the music would be played a lot more in my house)
