A fabulous album that captures the whole west coast psychedelic scene of the late 60's early 70's, I must give it its annual spin!

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.

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.

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!

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.
