Music on Special Offer Thread?

I know what you mean. I have to be in the right frame of mind for Messiaen but the Composer Of The Week series just now on BBC Radio 3 grabbed me. 

High Res Audio currently have a store wide discount of 15% until July 30th. Use discount code Sale2017 at the check out. Applies to reduced items also, as I just bought the HD version of Blondie's new album Pollinator at the reduce price £8.00, plus The Rolling Stones Lonesome & Blue..

I used the highresaudio 15% off to get Royal Blood - How did we get do dark for £6.80 - bargain! Very good too.

Thanks also. Not used the store before. I went for this:

In Qubuz the label Laborie Jazz is on -30%

Just working my way through the Qobuz 'Big Download Sale 2017' http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/pag...-2017 primarily the 80% and 50% off all albums, of which there are close to 4,000, mostly obscure stuff (to me anyway). However, I did spot the first Bob Dylan album for £0.80 !!!!-  presumably out of copyright given the label. Well worth it alone for the track Baby Let Me Follow You Down.

There is a lot of classical stuff here and generally I fall into the Frank Skinner appreciation of Classical Music - Wow this is amazing the best thing I've ever heard, incredible, fantastic, oh no I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored........................... But I'd welcome any recommendations (in any genre), as there must be a few gems hidden in here.

Have look at the Naive Classique label particularly the Vivaldi and Handels Water Music - some pretty good stuff there at very reasonable prices.

I'd recommend 

Freedom Jazz France (not least for the fantastic track Le musichien) and Earth Blossom, both on Heavenly Sweetness label and very cheap.

Camlan - thanks I'll do some homework on the Naive label.

Richard Morris - excellent just bagged the Freedom Jazz France album (which I see Light in the Attic are re-issuing at a lot more than the bargain price here), Earth Blossom and another on the Heavenly Sweetness label by Don Cherry.

Three great albums and my total basket is showing £3.36 !!!!

I checked out the Qobuz sale, and although one might expect it to be pretty cheap in 2017, I was nonetheless a bit blown away to find an anthology of Rachmaninov playing various piano pieces for about a quid.  Naturally the recording is slightly ropey by today's standards, but to hear the man himself playing is just lovely.

Just to underline this recommendation. There's a ton of top rate Baroque stuff on Naive (Alessandrini, Biondi et al.) particularly for Vivaldi, though a mention for the superb set of albums Blandine Verlet made of the harpsichord works of both Couperins, there's also a ton of lute albums featuring Steve's fave, Hopkinson Smith, and what looks to be a cracking version of Handel's Giulio Cesare (his best opera in my thinking).

Most of the above under £4.

P.S. Note also Mark Minkowski's 4 disc Haydn London Symphonies for £8

Allan Holdsworth, The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever, available on CD from Amazon @ £131.73 (went down briefly to £91.00 yesterday +'delivery!). Now available as a hi-res (24/96) download from HDTracks for £19.00 and there's even 15% off with HDAUG04UK code.

Absolutely Outstanding! - Thank You Dave J - this has got to be the deal of the year (so far).

You're most welcome, it's a cracking collection and I'm sure some kind if pricing error. It's £77.88 on Qobuz

Downloaded with HDTracks discount and sorted into individual albums with cover art. Then looking for Velvet Darkness. I see 7digital are doing this package for £11.99. Which beats HDTracks by a fiver.

£11.99 for nearly 100 tracks in 24/96 by the legendary Allan Holdsworth is just criminal.

Yes also in Germany at an even lower price level amazing...

OK...this is an outlier...

Planet Mu, a left-field electronic label, have a sale on. If nothing else give a listen to the superbKuedo album Severant - a kind of modern take on Vangelis...even takes a theme from Blade Runner and updates it (Flight path),,,and it's a steal at £3.99 for the CD.

Thanks Nick, this sounds interesting just ordered the CD/download option. 

Early Tangerine Dream 2011 Esoteric Remasters (Alpha Centauri, Atem, Electronic Meditation) on Qobuz for about £3.20 each. Space music - far out man!

Thanks for that. I shall investigate.
