Medieval-style music

I'm trying to find good recordings of medieval-style music (not necessarily historically informed), based on music from Spain, France, etc. XI-XIV ages. I liked Les Jongleurs de la Mandragore from Quebec, and some recordings from Dorian, even Azam Ali. Can anyone recommend anything else? My system is... too revealing, so the recording quality is critical.

I would start with works released by the Harmonia Mundi label. Currently, a CLASSICS TODAY recommended release is "The Royal Lewthers - Music of Henry VIII & Elizabeth's Favorite Lutenists." One that I could recommend is "Missa Mexicana," recorded by the Harp Consort/Andrew Lawrence King. This is also a Harmonia Mundi release, but it represents music from the mid 17th century Hispanic baroque period. Still, the redbook CD's sound quality on the Missa is stunning and a SACD version is due soon.
