I just picked up the excellent "Gravikords,Whirlies & Pyrophones" compilation .... What would be the next daxophone CD to get?

Definitely get "Shanghaied on Tor Road" next. Then "Yuxo". There are ten years between those two recordings, 1992 and 2002, respectively, and you can hear it. I think listening to them in reverse chronological order will make the earlier record less impressive than it really is. If you want more daxophone after that, then pursue "Lower Lurum", which is not in the same class with the other two records in terms of daxophone virtuosity. There are other Reichel cds with daxophone like "Dawn of the Dachsman" and "Buben...plus" to name a couple but they are different beasts, more improvisational fiddling in nature, not the multi-tracked symphonic compositions of "Shanghaied on Tor Road" and "Yuxo".
