It is indeed available in the CD format. Ordering it from Rune Grammofon directly is probably the cheapest option. Comes to aprox 17, including shipping, if I've done the calculations correctly.

It is on CD, though Amazon don't have it for some reason. I'm with you on bands that do vinyl only releases though. Pisses me off even though I do have a turntable. As for bands that do releases on cassette tape only

Is Elephant9 being again
 debilistic in refusing to publish their latest album under CD format ; like their previous live album??    (can't see it on Amazon in CD) As if they can afford to shun over 90% of material music sales  Bloody fookin' vinyl nazis |

Wilson, Steven Hand, Cannot, Erase - Interesting album to kick off the year with and came out a month before my 50th birthday.
Staves, The If I Was - They should be here under prog folk, I think. Hackett, Steve Wolflight - I've been surprised to read reviews knocking this album. It's another quality offering from Steve. Beggs, Booth, DVirgilio, Hackett, Longdon, Reed Spectral Mornings 2015 - Put out with several versions The new lyrics by Longdon and I think Booth are pretty cool and hopeful. Put out to benefit a Parkinson's charity. Ciccada the finest of miracles - First new artist discovery of the year. Excellent Greek band and I think the only Greek artist I have in my collection other than Vangelis. IO Earth New World - Another new discovery I have enjoyed immensely. I saw a review that said there are too many tracks. That's like telling Mozart he had too many notes. feat Esserela Tuorl - Wow. I had a real hard time ordering a copy of this for some reason, but when I finally got one it was verrry nice. Perfect Beings II - Another superb release from this band which was one of my favorite new discoveries of this year. They continue on in fine form. Pandora Snail War and Peace - And if I hadn't posted a review of PB II, I wouldn't have discovered these guys. As far as Russians in my collection, there are three that I know of off hand - Mussorgsky, The Gourishankar, and now them. Still need to do a review. Kind of like the Dixie Dregs without the bluegrass. Honorable mention to Frank Zappa's Dance Me This, which was recorded back in1993 but still a new release. And I should also include David Torn's true solo album Only Sky, which was recorded last year but released this year. Three months to go this year and probably a couple before I can start adding new releases. Looking forward to the new Tea Club in particular. Edited by Slartibartfast - October 10 2015 at 09:17 |

New Sonar is really outstanding, step up from the last one that I adored.

Something else I wanted to mention here, the album Ornithophobia from British prog jazz trio Troyka.
Actually this came out right back in January! Didn't think it had been that long. Really good stuff and quite distinctive, should appeal to lovers of modern jazz rock - RIO-ish in bits, with slinky grooves in other bits - and they've thrown some chopped blues and even a little powdered Gentle Giant into their stew as well. Their other albums are good too, but I think this is probably the best one so far. EDIT: I forgot to add that - although it's fully instrumental apart from a bit of radio voiceover - this is notionally a concept album. About some kind of plague that turns people into bird-headed monstrosities who want to take over the world, I think. How prog is that!

Bunch of stuff I want to check out here. I'd no idea there was a new Turzi out - sounds really good, too. More soundtrack-y, and digging the operatic vocals. Thanks!

Cool to see this thread unfold and I gotta thank Ryan for mentioning the new William Drake album. I knew nothing of it!

I tend to agree that The Rising Of The Light is my personal favorite by him.

Yes, all of his albums are on Bandcamp, so I was able to listen to most of them. The Rising is also great, but this latest one impressed me even more.

Thanks Raff! I'm definitely digging it but I don't know that it has had enough time to make an impression on me as my personal favorite of his, The Rising of the Lights. Have you had a chance to check it out?

LOVE
Algiers s/t: Debut album for this Neo-soul/post-punk band. Sounds like a weird combination but its something you just have to hear for yourself. * The Dear Hunter Act IV: Birth and Reprise: First entry to the acts series in 6 years. After releasing his symphony this past year, Casey seems unafraid to embrace the full orchestral gambit. Ambitious crossover prog / indie rock / chamber pop with early 20th century vibes. * Jaga Jazzist Starfire: Vibrant and colorful electro-nu-jazz with a very urban/trippy sort of feel. Overall lots of craziness and fun. Definitely more electronic than their previous album, One-armed Bandit Son Lux Bones: Experimental electronic / trip-hop accompanied by brittle vocals and swaths of synth-driven cacophony. Definitely brighter and more tooled for a live setting than previous albums, though not as strong as Lanterns or We are Rising. Viet Cong s/t: Moody & somewhat noisy post-punk with heavy 80s aesthetic. Very fun and powerful music that just makes you want to grab a guitar or pair of sticks and jam out. Bonus: My girlfriend says the singer sounds like a vampire, for whatever thats worth. GREAT 2814 -新しい日の誕生 This is what I always wanted from vaporwave * Beardfish -- +4626-Comfortzone Zappa/King Crimson inspired retro-prog with jam band elements, fortunately have brought some of the playfulness back from the early era Carpenter Brut Trilogy Strongest synthwave/outrun effort this year. Think 80s action/horror movie chase music. Chelsea Wolfe Abyss Crunchy, heavy, slow, and aptly abysmal darkwave * Godspeed You! Black Emperor Asunder Sweet and Other Distress Apocalyptic post-rock progenitors return, unfortunately nowhere near as good as their 2012 comeback release. Their first track is great, drone-y, and reminiscent of Earth, but the central sound collage tracks fall flat. Kamasi Washington The Epic Spiritual Jazz / neo-soul, huge bombastic pieces Natural Snow Buildings Terrors Horns Somewhat creepy droney atmospheric avant-folk * Tigran Hamasyan Mockroot Avant-garde Armenian folk jazz with heavy progressive tendencies * Turzi C space / krautrock with operatic vocals (more spacey, less kraut than previous releases A, B) * William D. Drake Revere Reach Ex-keyboardist from Cardiacs; jaunty whimsical pastoral prog GOOD Big Blood Double Days II -- Ambient avant-folk * The Decemberists What a Terrible World What a Beautiful World folk-pop Komara Komara Dark avant jazz/metal Odawas Black Harmony Synth-laden atmospheric amorphous folky Americana stuff. Not as strong as last years Relfections of a Pink Laser. * Sannhet Revisionist Instrumental post-metal Thundercat The Beyond / Where Giants Roam -- Nu-jazz / neo-soul Timbre Sun and Moon A lady sings and plays harp. Results are quite beautiful. Umberto Law Unit Horror Synth * -- probably included on this site Still looking forward to getting my hands on the new Guapo and Elephant9 albums |
