FANTASTIC!!!
Good isn't it. About time they released this material.

(2014)
Instrumental Berlin School ambient music by this solo artist aided and abetted by his wife. I find all of his work relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.

Rush.Counterparts. On CD from 1993. Fairly new to this one, it's a hot and heavy Rush album I find more involving with each listen. One I'll give more plays in the future.
Great start of the morning...


The Traveling Wilburys Collection. On HDCD from 2007. There's been some scuttlebutt here recently on this one regarding the recent streaming release. Giving a listen tonight to Volume 3 which is actually the band's second album. Volume 3 is not a disc I play often and while it's very good, it sadly misses Roy Orbison's contribution to the band's original fleeting glory of Volume 1.

Listened to disc two of this in the early hours of this morning when I couldn't sleep. This is an enjoyable and quite funky (for Kraftwerk) in parts, recorded from various concerts during their 69 stop world tour 2004.
Very nice jazz trio...


Right in the mood for this.

Thanks G. I listened to it on Tidal where they have it split into what they have called volumes 1 & 2.

I'm hoping it's ultra rare with nerd collector appeal!

Perfect for a damp Saturday morning:

One of my favorites..


Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes, because it is a gloriously good album containing Silent All These Years, which is one of my favourite emotional songs and even better with DSD upsampling. Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

dayjay, how do you go about "switching on" the DSD upsampling in Audirvana? I've looked at my settings audio and filter preferences etc. and must be missing something.

Sonata for Piano and Violin in A, K.526-Andante
It is always the slow movements who win me over.
