2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Dan Arborise - Of Tide & Trail
A bit more pace. Really good. Rousing.

I have been listening to Harry Shearer sitting in for Jarvis Cocker on R6 Music the past few weeks and he played a track by Judith Owen. I have been investigating! This is a fine album. And Ms Owen is also Mrs Shearer! Very seventies singer songwriter with some very fine musicians. I like it a lot.
Revisiting some more of Mr Adams back catalogue. CD rip.


Vinyl - Have not listened to this for years
For good measure . More of a country pastiche on this one. CD rip.


Emerson Lake & Palmer - Tarkus
On recent reissue Vinyl
matmos - Ulimate Care II
Electronica from sampled washing machines. First heard them on Late Junction. No need to get in a lather.

The new Scott Walker
What do you think, Ewe? I think it's terrific (if a bit short).
Queen, Queen 2, unmistakably Queen but before they became more commercial. My wife hates this album despite loving Queen but it's one of my faves and has some really atmospheric and emotional songs on it. Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

Enjoying the 96khz version which sounds excellent through the NDX/TT/250DR. I always preferred my first press cd before as the hires was to toppy with Ndac. This is a whole lot more resolved.

1990 - Tidal...
