Yes ~ The Yes Album (1971)
As with the Fragile album I just played this one is also remastered and expanded to include studio versions and previously unreleased material.
Intense account of the sonatas...
Interesting find on bandcamp

Void Mother ~ Obscure Sphinx (2013)
Quite a hard listen but worth it.
"Luscious and fully engulfing atmospheres from the shadowy depths to the crystalline heights. Amazingly dynamic, from dreamy ambience to brutally heavy riffs you can't get out of your head. With one of the most talented female metal vocalists of our time, you can't really ask for more!" - A Bandcamp patron
Just for this one
More aged vinyl (this one's as thick as a plate)

I downloaded this earlier this evening. It's a lovely album, really nicely played and the recording is excellent.
Chet Baker & Enrico Pieranunzi - Soft Journey, CD Egea
Two of the really good ones together, enjoying themselves and making good sounds 
Great album together with the other one
Had to get another copy. You already know the first one.
Possibly my favourite track on the album.
Can't stop but listen! 
Hadn't listened some time to this..
On CD:-
Second time today.
Will break a rule but have to say what a great album this is. Fabulous voice.
Arrau with the very late afternoon light.

For anyone who has Spotify Premium (US), there are several tracks available.
Chris has also created a 100 song playlist of songs he wrote or co-wrote. Looking forward to hearing some of that tomorrow. Thanks, Ewen.

Tackling Rameau for the first time.
These are much more accessible music:
Crystal Illusions is orchestrated by Dave Grusin. It sure sounds like his later soundtrack.
Jim Croce. You Don't Mess Around With Jim. On the original issue ABC vinyl from 1972. A heavy dose of American folk delivered with plenty of rhythm and soul. Brilliant sonic quality .
More ear candy.
Sergio Mendes and Brazil '77: Love Music
The king of easy listening. All sweetness and light.
Suddenly very kitsch.
Paulinho Da Costa is on percussion and Oscar Castro Neves on guitar.
