I'll start the ball rolling...
Devendra Banhart
The true title of the album is F**ck Everyone and Run
Green Day
The blurb for this one
With riveting performances by the modern prog-rock legends Stick Men - Tony Levin, Markus Reuter and Pat Mastelotto - 'Prog Noir' is ambitious and essential. From the overpowering to the sublime; from an organic, instinctive avant-garde, to intricate, Crimson-esque tapestries, this album embodies the go-for-it, pioneering spirit that fans of Stick Men have long savored. A modern prog epic! Long-time fans of Stick Men and King Crimson will revel in ecstasy, as the three sonic adventurers gleefully waltz to the outer fringes. The chemistry of Levin and Mastelotto has never been more evident, keeping a solid, propulsive undercurrent flowing beneath the soaring presence of the ingenious 'mad scientist' antics of Reuter.

Good band and interesting music, this one is also available to pre-order on Bandcamp for €8 (releasing on 16th October). Apart from saving on postage for a physical copy four tracks from the album are available listen to now as is much of their back catalogue on bandcamp at this link.
Double album of unreleased acoustic recordings, due out next month. On vinyl and CD - the vinyl is an all-analogue path, apparently. Be warned - at the time of writing, the River is a long way from being the cheapest place to buy, at least in the UK.
7th October and available to pre-order at Bandcamp.
