2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Giving it another try om the main system....
After his break-through recordings of Beethoven and Saint-Saëns concertos, Louis Schwizgebel has turned to Schubert. On CD-R from download.

Love days like that Graeme, enjoy!
Simply because I haven't played it in more than a year, this masterpiece from Steven Wilson:

A good find. Thanks Osprey.
The most enduring of The Doors' albums imho.

1976 - Tidal..
Middle-of-the-road prog/folk band which I haven't heard in yonks. Used to love Annie's voice then. Fits the weather...

Probably the two most anticipated recordings for me this year. Pre-orders for me so I have to wait a couple weeks for the Perahia release and the Trifonov is actually shipping as of today.
What is your first impression Ragman?
Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation - Mirage

This album proved they were not just a one-hit-wonder. Great stuff.
Yep, my favourite PH album

Requiem by Goat
My first listen to their new album released and downloaded this morning.
What did you make of it, Steve? I found it lacks a bit of the "mayhem" I was used to from their previous albums, a little too polished perhaps. Still enjoyable though.
Enjoying this new take on some familiar songs.

I agree with your thoughts and like your phrase lack of "mayhem" 
. Its been described as more "folky" than their usual fare and I would agree with that. Enjoyable enough as you say but it hasn't got that anarchic bite that I enjoy on their other albums.
