2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Time to dive into the Floyd mega-box. At the moment I'm spinning disc1 of the first volume, Cambridge St/ation. Tracklist as follows:
<dl><dt>Disc one (CD) – studio recordings from 1965 & 1967</dt></dl>- "Lucy Leave" - 2:57
- "Double O Bo" - 2:57
- "Remember Me" - 2:46
- "Walk with Me Sydney" - 3:11
- "Butterfly" - 3:00
- "I'm a King Bee" - 3:13
- "Arnold Layne" - 2:57
- "See Emily Play" - 2:55
- "Apples and Oranges" - 3:05
- "Candy and a Currant Bun" - 2:45
- "Paintbox" - 3:48

Thus far, the quality of both the music and the sound is staggering.
Leon Russell - Leon Russell. Leon Russell - Leon Russell and the Shelter People.

As the sun sets over Cornwall it's time for Rod
New Order - Low Life

Blue Note vinyl. Great recording.
Leonard Cohen - "Popular Problems" (2014) I absolutely love this album and have listened to it at least weekly for two years+. And yet I just learned yesterday that because of where I source it, that I am hearing *******. Go figure. Cautiously recommended.
Norah Jones - "Day Breaks" (2016) first listen

Niolai Medtner: The Complete Skazki - Hamish Milne (piano)
Joe Cocker - Sheffield Steel.
Just spent three hours enjoying the music of the late great Leon Russell, so, easing out of it with this............seems appropriate, as their careers were so interlinked.

Michael Brecker. Nearness of You. CD rip.
Earlier. Jenny Ritter - Raised by a Wolves. CD rip.
Nice blend of Americana and Folk. Saw her band supporting Lucinda Williams in Glasgow at the start of the year.

A great soundtrack to a great film and a good album in its own right. Queen, A Kind of Magic
