I went to Amazon and another website, cheap-cds.com. Cheap-cds has good prices and with many albums they feature mp3 snippets of each song, instead of just five or six. I really like that site. Anyway, I checked out the Esquivel selections and settled on a duplex: "Other Worlds, Other Sounds / Four Corners Of The World". To me, it was one of the more "sedate" of his albums; I wanted that because most his music is too friggin hyperactive in a way that I don't care for. He'll settle into a nice soft groove, then WHAM stick in all these unnecessary sound effects and stinging brass that ruins the mood! He does this over and over compulsively and it seems he was incapable of doing anything else. He was one fine pianna player, though.
