Madman Across The Water by Elton John. Always thought this is a little underrated. Has some cracking tunes on it

So there were a few good tunes in the 1980's - I had forgotten this one. Featured in a Shrek movie if I remember?

Casiopea - Midnight Rendezvous
An absolutely fantastic Jazz-Fusion band from Japan that has inspired loads of Video Game soundtracks over the years.
