2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Elbow - "The Take Off And Landing Of Everything" (2014)
Streaming | WAV | CD rip
(1967)
A recent buy, this is an enjoyable CD with decent SQ and the addition of 8 bonus tracks in mono or singles versions. Much of the album is of its time but fun to visit again.
On original vinyl. Why? 'Cos it's one of my all time favourite albums and I haven't played it for a long while.

It's been a few months since listening to this one, he has such a great way with lyrics, creating and imaging stories within each track and lending each track to the album as a whole. All that aside he makes bl**dy good music to listen to. 
Some italian stuff

That's a good album to see on here, I really got into RW's solo albums back in the day. Journey To the Centre Of The Earth is another one I particularly liked.
FANTASTIC!!!
Just found this in the vinyl cubes. Forgot I even had it...

God Help The Girl - "God Help The Girl" (2009)
Airbag, Disconnected via Tidal as the CD has not landed yet.
The album was released today and this is my first listen and so far it is very very good. Good quality Prog, love it.

I love this album, even though side two is a bit weak. Amuses me that the Daily Hate haven't run a story on the lyrics to I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun...
case/lang/veirs - "case/lang/veirs" (2016) Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs

Bit of pre - bedtime Feat. 
The sound of this JVC XRCD reinforces the ambiance of the performance: close-miked and forward, yet not so analytical as to diffuse the music's magical, mysterious qualities. The piano is richly rendered if not highly resolved, but Bennett's voice is warmly detailed and wonderfully articulated, and offers a revealing glimpse into this master vocalist's superb mike technique. Overall, this fine new audiophile remastering reinforces the warmth of the sound and the rich intimacy of two innovators, seemingly overheard in the process of pure creation.—Chip Stern (Recording of the Month, Stereophile July 2001).
