What is new in my music library? (recent purchases I enjoy)

[rblnr]

Been enjoying Kurt Vile's 'Believe I'm Goin Down'. Sneaky catchy and cool.

Good one. Have this joint work by him and Max Richter:

So this one is a draw.

So I had to buy a Daniel Hope album and this is it: http://www.prostudiomasters.com/search?f=artist&q=Daniel Hope#quickview/album/3883

I suppose I could cheat and match that with Dead Can Dance albums but I won't. Instead, this Hans Zimmer soundtrack starring Lisa Gerrard is waiting for checkout at Prostudiomasters: http://www.prostudiomasters.com/album/page/749

The previews sound excellent.

Wow, this is excellent music. It is in my HDTracks cart: http://www.hdtracks.com/dust-of-time-music-for-the-film-by-theo-angelopoulos

Going to preview the others but likely will buy out all of her albums.

OK, this is bad. I go in my library and I see no less than five albums by Eleni Karaindrou!!!

Here are the ones I have:

In other words, I had cleaned up HDTrack's albums by Eleni Karaindrou . Just no time yet to listen to them.

So looks like I win this one by two?

Doesn't count, they playing pieces by classical composers.

Hey, I need all the help I can get!!!

This is interesting... I bought a new album by Max Richter that was just released called "Sleep." Not "From Sleep" which had come out earlier and is a subset of this. But the full "sleep."

Anyway, this is a behemoth of a release clocking at 8 hours and 24 minutes!!! It was on HDtracks but it has now vanished! Thankfully I bought it before that happened. Here is the cached link on Google:

Wonder if there were some rights issues that caused it to be pulled.

Either way, this counts for at least 8 albums if not 10 Mr. Lindeman.

I have not heard this one yet, but I have very high hopes.

I will be interested to see how it compares to the original six eye mono and stereo. The MFSL packaging is superb and the inner booklet is a very nice touch.

This is going to knock your socks off. I have the recent 24/192 remaster and it is scary good.

So far, I have been very impressed by the re-issues from MFSL. Particularly the 45rpm versions. My early pressing six eye mono is a superb pressing, and up to now has been my go to recording of this great LP. I expect the new MFSL LP to be even better!

I can't stay behind, can I;

This one doesn't count because it is a complilation.

OK I had to order these two from Amazon as to not give you two points.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Lovely compilation of tracks from popular artists. Led me to buy more of their CDs within.

Purchased in 44.1/24-bit from Prostudiomasters: http://www.prostudiomasters.com/album/page/562

And check out this album cover. Much more catchy than anything Mr. Lindeman has posted:

I think this counts as two points because of that.

 

[amirm]

This album from Of Monsters and Men was a spin off of the Catching Fire soundtrack: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007DIQC90?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

 

[amirm]

This is a selection of her 1980's work and not available in seperate disc's so it does count!

OK, OK, I will get it. Happy now?

 

[amirm]

Seriously? Minus two would be a more appropriate score...

No way. Another spin off that I purchased: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2llfhKtq4

And this from the Catching Fire album:

Yes but will you still be able to afford that £340 tape from open reel records now?

No, not that one. If you hadn't pushed me to buy so much stuff, maybe. But not anymore.
