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

Mighty, mighty fine.

A recent purchase and had only played CD1 so far. Tonight CD2 is getting a listen. Nice, too.
Queensryche, Empire, which is a very good album with a truly great song, Silent Lucidity, on it. One of those songs that you play an everything is good with the world, even when the last English team in the Champions League is losing! Flac via Audirvana/Hugo
Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop - Love Letter for Fire
This is a wonderful album, their voices blend together really well.
Sierra Hull - Weighted Mind
First Listen
Tom Petty, Full Moon Fever, his best album in my view. 24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

Tidal - rather surprised they made this available. Intense.

Brilliant, isn't it? Have you seen the video? Produced in two weeks and finished just last week. I think we're in for a treat when the album comes out.

Good grief ! I can never reminisce about Trumpton again. Feeling slightly disturbed now ![]()

Great album - takes me back to my student days. Will reminisce on Tidal.

Will Hoge - "Small Town Dreams"
Streaming | WAV | Bandcamp Download

(2000)
Discovered this one earlier this evening really enjoyable Berlin School electronica, lovely synth' sounds and good sequencing the electronic music morphing into percussion beats towards the latter half of the second (final) track.
Airbag, Identity.
My favourite Airbag album. Always takes me somewhere special, love it.

Neville Brothers - "Yellow Moon"
2011 - vinyl...
Beyoncé, Lemonade. Full of emotion, interesting, surprising and a joy to listen to. My favourite album of the past two or three years and a mile from what I would usually listen to. It gets better everytime I listen to it. Tidal via Audirvana/Hugo

John Hiatt - "Master Of Disaster" - (backing band is the North Mississippi All-Stars)
