Anything to look forward to?

I just ordered a couple of CDs from the web. Some of them I've had in MP3 format for a while and decided it was time to buy them on CD, most of them are impulse or recommendation-based and I've barely heard anything by most of them. Any comments?

Simple Minds - Sparkle In The Rain, I read somewhere they've been heavily inspired by Roxy Music (which I love), besides my sister used to listen to these guys alot when I was younger and I remember liking it. Supposedly this is one of their best records.

Gang Of Four - Entertainment!, praised on this forum, I'm very much looking forward to this.

Beck - Odelay, I've always liked Beck based on what I've heard on radio, tv or at some friends place. I have actually never considered buying any of his records though and I guess this is a good place to start.

E.L.O - Eldorado, Never heard, not that I know of at least. But this has been strongly recommended to me by some friends.

Morrissey - Vauxhall and I, I've only listened to the Smiths before, but I found this one real cheap and decided to give it a go.

Had these on MP3:
Dylan's Blood On The Tracks
Clash's London Calling
Kraftwerk's Man-Machine

I got all of these for less than 70$ brand new, great catch if I may say so myself

. 'Course, I don't know exactly what I'm getting yet.

Vauxhall and I is terrific and Eldorado is a personal fave - it has a great dream like, filmic quality, like a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Brigadoon - and you wont ever find a better pop song than Cant Get It Out of My Head.

Entertainment and Odelay are brilliant, groundbreaking recordings for these two artists. They sound as fresh today as they did years ago...

Vauxhall and I - Genius, probably Moz's best solo work.

Odelay - Not my favorite Beck, but still pretty awesome, and my favorite is Midnite Vultures, so what do I know?

Vauxhall And I is brilliant, you won't regret it.
Blood On The Tracks is one of my two or three favourite Dylan albums and imho it's a masterpiece, so if you ever have a couple of spare quid buy it on CD.
