Well, I didn't exactly buy it, but I was pressured into taking a couple Patricia Barber CDs at an audio meet a few weeks ago.

I feel like a dirty audiophile snob now. :sadcat:

why? Patricia Barber is great!

Well, yes, but it feels kinda weird that I now own audiophile approvedtm albums which writers in Stereophile, TAS, and all the other mags gush about all the time.

Frederic Rzewski - The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

Holy crap.

For 2 reasons: (1) Amazing set of piano variations, everyone needs this. (2) This particular pressing is apparently worth $100, and I bought it for $5. :D

Holy crap.

One of the most beautiful albums I've yet heard. Many Coltrane fans don't dig it, but I find the pairing brilliant. Hartman's unique, soothing crooner vocals were recorded excellently... the decay, urgh. Sure, Coltrane is quite restrained, but it's not like he's going to go all "Giant Steps" on our asses... that'd ruin the synergy. Lots of pairings like this just don't "gel" -- like Ellington & Trane -- but John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman is an exception.

(edit: sorry of the rather vague/incoherent description. tired from finals etc.)

Don't tell anyone I bought it, though. This is the kind of thing other kids would literally beat me up for listening to. :(

Porcupine Tree - Moonloop Transmission IV on CD. Seller on ebay had a bunch of copies, got it for pretty cheap :dance:

Yeah, a friend of mine recently played that for me. I was (totally blissed out)^2. Second only to Just for a Day in terms of bliss factor. (Not really comparable, except for my reaction to both of them.)

Also need to pick up the Cowboy Junkies Mofi, and all the Dylan Bootleg Series except for 7. And I lost my copy of Modern Times :sadcat:

Baroness - Red Album. This one was recommended by an old friend of my girlfriend who we ran into at the Ministry concert. He instantly knew I was good for Melody (my girlfriend) because I had on a King Crimson shirt. ;D So I'm thinking this one will be good.

Ministry - Psalms 69

Ministry - Cover Up

Cowboy Junkies MFSL sacd. And trying to buy the MFSL for Jethro Tull's A Passion Play.

Finally got to hear the MFSL of Thick as a Brick, holy shit it's good!

Based on 20 seconds worth of sound samples, I'm guessing:

Julee Cruise, Devics, maybe Lisa Germano, Lori Carson, Nicole Blackman? ...I even hear some Nancy Sinatra (circa her collaborations with Lee Hazelwood).

(Thanks for the pointer, I'm definitely getting it.)

I was in the same boat... I heard a few samples, loved what I heard and tracked it down. But I haven't hear enough to really get a feel for it. It arrived here at work about 30 minutes ago.

A side note... The best place I found to get it was through Amazon Marketplace sellers. Despite an announced May 20th release date, local shops couldn't find it in their systems, likely due to a lack of distribution.
