"Horizon" has been my favorite Carpenters CD for a long time. Karen's voice is so rich and crystal clear, the songs are all top-notch, and the production is pretty much perfect. "Passage" and "A Song For You" follow, then probably "Close To You". Doesn't surprise me that compilations make up for 4 of them, but very cool that 6 are not.

Yes, it is interesting to see what Carpenters fans (and the general public) are buying these days. Usually the Carpenters' "Classic Five" are always in the Top Ten. The "Classic Five" include "Close To You", "Carpenters", "A Song For you", "Now And Then" and "Horizon". On this particular Top Ten "Now And Then" just missed... I think it landed somewhere around #13 for the month of March 2009.

Hey Cinscorp 3 of your four favorite Carpenters albums are identical to mine. My faves are "Horizon" my ultimate favorite of all Carpenters releases. Second is Karen's solo album... I just love the soulful jazz touch in each song. Third would be "Passage" with songs like "B'wana", "Two Sides", "Sweet Sweet Smile" and others this one is a sure winner and than next is "Close To You"... I love this album for it's diversity.
