On Monday we will see the welcome return of Gale 401 with great albums and music deals. 
That should liven up this thread. 
Has he served his sentence then?
CD rip AIFF, a new band to me, not one of G 401's recommendations either:-
Royal Blood - Royal Blood
Currently on tour as the opening act for Nickelback (the Canadian Band that everyone loves to hate). Taylor Momsen has quite the eye-catching stage presence.
Joni Mitchell
"Songs Of A Prairie Girl" (2005)
Jane Siberry Bound by the Beauty on vinyl
It's nearly December, so this can have another airing. There's a great mix of music on here, all beautifully sung and played, with no hint of cheese. All very Scandinavian.
Double white vinyl limited edition.
Music Electronica
Produced by Mikael Jorgensen
Mixed by Allen Farmelo at The Snow Farm, NYC
Principle recording by John David and Aaron Nevezie at The Bunker
Mastered by Valgeir Sigurðsson at Greenhouse Studios, Iceland.
Additional recording by Allen Farmelo at Mavericks Studio & The Snow Farm, NYC.
I'm not normally one for compilations but this is such a coherent selection. It also sounds excellent.
G
On vinyl, No. 000132. Nice Saturday morning tunes. Almost makes me feel 20 once again.

Procul Harum - Broken Barricades ~ 40th (Anniversary Series) from 2009. This includes the addition of four extra "raw tracks". Sounding good on Spotify 320kbps. Another to add to the "to buy list", finally replacing the original vinyl lost / stolen forty plus years ago.
On vinyl from 1977: "Cate Bros. Band"
One of 3 albums I have from the 70s from this great Rock/Soul band.
On vinyl from 1971: John Sebastion - "The Four of us"
Bringing back lots of memories. I had forgotten just how good he is.
Pierre Fournier (cello), Wilhelm Backhaus (piano)
Johannes Brahms:
Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38
Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 2 in F major, Op. 99
Johann Sebastian Bach:
Sonata for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord no 1 in G major, BWV 1027
Spending most of my time now focusing on the Debussy cello sonata but in about two weeks I'm itching to get back to the Brahms F major cello sonata which I will spend most of 2015 working on.
While the recording is not necessarily the best here are two of my favourite musicians Pierre Fournier and Wilhelm Backhaus doing there thing admirably as always.
Perahia's latest disc (2012) is a miracle of sensitivity and authority; if you want to get to know Brahms' piano works, start here. The 24/96 recording is excellent.

Hi-res stream (FLAC) from my NAS: Pink Floyd - "The Division Bell"
Superb sound quality!
Cheers,

Classic albums.
Joni Mitchell
"Turbulent Indigo" (1994)
How do you find it Jeff. Personally I love it and think it is one of her most underrated albums.
CD
Brilliant album.
Your on fire tonight Gianluigi. Great album. Got my copy in Denver the day it was released in the US. I am a great fan of his. New album currently being recorded due for release early next year but maybe put back.
