Music Check

What's everyone listening to? I like to try to stay abreast of this, and I get ideas for new bands to check out as well.
Currently, for me, Way Out West's newest CD is getting play, in addition to Robert Miles' Dreamland, as well as my friend's solo album (I'd posted the link to the site a few months ago - www.unity303.com - look for Mindfeed: Phase B if interested). Some game soundtracks I've finally been able to find after overcoming piracy objections in the case of hard-to-get import music are on there as well. (I plan on picking up actual copies when I can, but thirty bucks for a CD is just too pricey for me right now.) Brink of Time and Celtic Moon are particularly seeing play. I was listening to Hikaru Utada's single from Kingdom Hearts for awhile (the Japanese version), but that may just have been the influence of KH being such an amazing game. I wish they'd kept the Japanese version in the game, because the English version has just anemic lyrics.
Phantom of the Opera soundtrack's getting play as well, but the version I got from AllOfMP3 is the movie version, and the Phantom just isn't great on that one. I'd really like to find the original UK or Broadway recordings.
