2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;

Neil Young & Crazy Horse. On HDCD from 2012. First listen. The whole concept of this album is a strange creature to me - NY & CH putting their sloppy metal spin on (mostly) traditional American folk songs. The unorthodox variations are fun, developed, and play with interest - something you might enjoy stumbling into a western bar on the Fourth of July to hear by a band playing for beer.
As a side note, this is the latest HDCD I'm aware of, so perhaps noteworthy in that regard.
On CD:-
An appropriate album for a fine breakfast....
Then switched to this .....
To end at this fine album. Yesterday the 1st run, now enjoying a 2nd run, full piano sound...
First run of yet another Knopfler acquisition. CD rip.
On vinyl.

Airbag - All Rights Removed, very good album.
Listened to this more in the past 3 days than I have the last 10 years. Sucks it takes a death to reconnect with it.
Marvellous and mellow music making from Per Oddvar Johansen.

On CD:-
Biber is one of my favourite composers, and I heard an extract from this wonderful new album on Radio 3 this morning. Now downloaded from Qobuz and playing. The playing and recording are both exemplary.
Most excellent it is, too. (HD Tracks 44/16)
Vinyl 1969 UK 'stereo' .....Featuring Harvey Mandel on Guitar, Johnny Almond on Tenor Sax & Flute, Sugarcane Harris on Violin.
