I've bought a few good faith cds.

Elvenkings Heathenreel was probably one of my best pickups ever. I love the band, I love the music, and the guys are incredible.

Picked up Freternia's Warchants and Fairytales (Now out of print, I just ordered a second copy of it just because) on good faith too. I had heard part of one song. I got the cd and played it, and without a doubt, they are one of my favorite bands to this day.

Also picked up Pagan's Mind's Infinity Divine because they're at progpower this year, and I liked a few songs I had downloaded. Turns out the CD is kind of bland and never really caught my interest.

Emerson Lake and Palmer is crap. The cover is cool though. But a nasty nasty trick.
If nothing else, harsh noises get your attention.

worst random cd buying experience ever ... i got my sister to buy "Dafft Punk" because i thought it was a punk cd ... it was just sitting in a random bin, well it turned out to be crappy, psedo-disco dance music ... my sister never takes my advice when buying music anymore. Fucking false advertising ... lol ...

ack ... i forgot about my biggest random CD purchase ... a while ago i walked into Sunrise records and i noticed they were having a 2 for 35$ deal on radio head albums, so i wound u spending about 52$ and walked out with Kid A, Amnesiac, OK Computer and The Bends. That was my best random purchase, then yesterday i bought hail to the theif, so far it sounds like a pretty good album, but i didn't get to hear most of it since i played it while i was sleeping.

I don´t want to doubt your spontaneity but I fail to believe that buying Radiohead is random in so much as everybody knows what Radiohead is like. I´m not sure about other people here but when I consider a purchase random it is when I don´t think about what I am buying and just pick something with the coolest name or cover.

meh, to tell you the truth, before that i've only heard their radio singles a few time a few years appart ... plus the things on my computer i rarely listened to ... but yea .... they are a pretty main streme band ... so it' snot quite that spontanious ... whatever ... i just shot my argument in the foot again ...

I don't think I'll be buying random CDs again anytime soon.

I have a list of about 100 CDs I need to buy, so those first.
