2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Newly purchased following a recommendation on here and my first listen. Nice and slow and moody. I like it.
I liked this so much on my first play of it last night that I had to give it another go this evening. Can heartily recommend this one.
Beautiful Sunday evening music...

Absolute corker IMHO - great understated but powerful guitar playing from Bernard Butler.

Circles by Moon Duo
The Beatles. Let It Be... Naked. On 2CD from 2003. I like Paul's unadorned version of this album and the inclusion of "Don't Let Me Down", though I always preferred the harder lead guitar of the original on the title track.
One of the greatest albums of Porcupine Tree. Listened to it earlier this morning ....I also have a Live in Atlanta version in which a lot of the songs of the album are being played...
Just finished listening to this great album. He is one of the most talented trumpet players in jazz today. I am interested to see what his next album will bring. So far his albums have been an experience
Martin Simpson - what a fantastic guitarist.
Georgy Catoire (1861-1926) was born in Russia to parents of French descent. His musical abilities as both pianist and composer were apparent at a very young age, however he had no musical training until the age of fourteen when he began piano lessons. Perhaps the most significant offshoot of those early lessons was his introduction to and a deep appreciation for the music of Wagner, a development which no doubt influenced his compositions.
This beautiful music certainly deserves to be known much more widely than it is. Perhaps one reason it is so foreign to both the concert stage and the recording studio is that it is so technically demanding. (Hyperion)
