Thanks @SZonian , I could live a good month on a compliment. Unfortunately though, I have no idea about Apple products, my wife has one, I never touch it, the kids have one, but complain about not being able to load stuff to it. I honestly think I will keep away from them because they are not user friendly in some ways.

Anyhoo, back to the music.... This group of songs will be more for the chill mellow listener... Downtempo and obscure....

The group "It's Immaterial" put out a few songs in the 80s that charted (mostly in the UK), but a few in the states.

I liked this song...

! No longer available

This song charted both sides of the pond...

! No longer available

Anyway, the British group disappeared at the end of the 80s and left an album unpublished...

A friend set me up with the missing album (think she got it from them via making friends with them on their FB page).... and I enjoy it. Great background music you can relax to and yet still stop for a minute to enjoy. Not for everyone of course it is downtempo, but I throw out stuff like this and one never knows who will like it.

A few songs... unreleased from "House for Sale" album.

It's Immaterial - Gift Of Rain

It's Immaterial - Just Drive
