On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
More foot tapping bonkersness from Shpongle:
BTW I discovered this because I found a top 50 records from last year on psybient.org - if you scroll down there is an embedded player to test all of them - rather handy.
Also liking the new Jon Hopkins a lot as well
A bit of Kate. UK first pess vinyl.
Always nice to hear some chamber music...
Magical playing, very delicate...

I had first press cassette! Long since gone to the 80s car stereo tape manglers in the sky. Replaced with CD somewhen in 2000s.
IMHO this - especially side 2 - is KB's magnum opus.

This album is probably one of my all time favourites - also had it on cassette initially, then CD or maybe vinyl next. Frankly most things Kate Bush did it for me for many many years 
Gary Brooker - Lead Me To the Water, ably assisted by the likes of George Harrison, Eric Clapton ,Phil Collins and Albert Lee which makes for an enjoyable listen.
Now Playing.........
Robin McKelle - Melodic Canvas
Streaming on TIDAL......... Another recent mention a few days ago that i had placed in the TIDAL queue and now taking out for a spin. The first couple of tracks demonstrate a lovely voice, lyrics and backing musicians, quite enjoyable.
1973 - Vinyl - UK first pressing...
On TDK SA-90 cassette tape which I used to copy my friend's copy of this album in the '80s. I'd be quite pleased if this were rereleased sometime.
LP - Jagjaguwar 2005 : )
These guys from Vancouver know how to rock & roll, exhibiting shades and flavours of Sonic Youth & Velvet Underground, and with guitar riffs up there with Led Zepp & Black Sabbath, nothin here not to like : )
Debs
On vinyl...
Deadwing - Porcupine Tree, on vinyl...
George Harrison - Living in the Material World, several of the songs are a bit preachy, but the music is top notch.
Time for a bit of cassette listening, and with the neighbours away, this can be played LOUD...
Husband and wife, when they still used to play together.
On vinyl...
Now Playing.........
Alison Krauss - Now That I've Found You: A Collection
Streaming on NAS......... A CD released 23 years ago and Alison has that wonderful sweet voice, some sweet backup vocals and musicians on this album, worth a listen if you enjoy Alison!
Now Playing........
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound
Jason Isbell (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), David Cobb (acoustic guitar, percussion), Derry Deborja (keyboards), Jimbo Hart (bass), Amanda Shires (stings, vocals), Sadler Vaden (electric Guitar), and Chad Gamble (drums).
Streaming on NAS........ This album won the 2018 grammy for 'Best Americana Album' and is one of those albums that continues to sound better with each spin.
Been in an Art Blakey mood lately...
Top shelf lineup as always...
Listening to Brian Eno, Music for Installations, streaming on Tidal.
