what was the last cd you bought?

I expect Siouxsie would have been aghast if someone had told her in 1978 that people would be buying copies of her albums as an investment, but it makes sense. 

A nice delivery from Naim of the following:

Naim Black Box 1 NaimBB001

50th Anniversary of the Allegri Quartet NaimCD074

The Allegri Quartet Naimcd067

More conventional fair.  Vol 1 is arguably the better one, but this is still not a bad archival volume from the time.

Alison Krauss & Union Station. Every Time Yo Say Goodbye and Lonely Runs Both Ways.

Katie Melua. Secret Symphony.

Paul Simon.So Beautiful Or What.

George Strait. Somewhere Down In Texas And Love Is Everything.

All delivered this morning.

Last evening purchased a couple of CD's by Sean Rowe, Madman & New Lore.  Sean was recommended in the "What are you listening to and why might anyone be interested?" thread. Gave him a listen on-line and really like what I heard.

..... now just got to wait until they appear in the mailbox....

Just bought tens of SACDs on Bis - largely music I already own as downloads, so just for the fun of being able to spin a disc.

Cheers

London Grammar 'Truth Is A Beautiful Thing'

Somehow not really clicked with me as a whole. Some great moments. Need a good long  listen I think, although it feels a bit one paced and actually possibly in need of a bit of trimming. I shall persevere.

Anyone else bought this yet? It was one of my most anticipated buys of the year.

Yes its got some nice parts & the music technically is as expected from LG, beautifully atmospheric & extremely well done. But one paced as you say,  I find it leaves me in need of cheering up afterwards; its not so much depressing or like a sad lost loves album (of which there are many)  its just melancholic.     I hope (I expect) it will grow on me

On first play, it's a very mellow version of Fleetwood Mac. Mike Fleetwood and John McVie both on the credits.

The Magpie Salute-The Magpie Salute

first CD I've bought in a while but it's so good I had to have a copy of my own. 

Three-CD/one DVD reissue of a rather dubious live album released in 1985 on Factory. It was the first CD-only non-classical release. The original recording was very sterile, and sadly lifeless so I am looking forward to hearing the 'restored' version (with correct track order) on discs 2 and 3.

A couple of CDs from the gig at Sage 2:-

The Elephant Sessions:- The Elusive Highland Beauty and All We Have is Now.

A five piece , Drums/Synths.Electric Bass/Percussion,Guitars, Fiddle and Mandolin. Sort of funk folk most enjoyable.

Book + 3 CDs + bonus DVD.  Short history of the Borgia Dynasty in several languages (Engl included) + lyrics also in several languages.

Dead Heavens-Whatever Witch You Are

2nd CD purchase in as many days. I'm on a roll. 

Zsofia Boros - Local objects.
