Yes, but I'll need to give it another couple of spins.

Yesterday:
Don Cherry - Eternal Now
Don Cherry - Eternal Rhythm
GAM - Eiszeit
Master Wilburn Burchette - Psychic Meditation Music

I'd highly recommend other Beatle nuts to get this if you haven't already    Jealous!!!     Also if you have no room for that Blu ray audio disc I know someone who does.

I don't think I ever participated in this thread...

Yesterday evening:

Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Mgła - Exercises In Futility
Burzum - The Ways of Yore

Jealous!!!

Man, some AMAZING selections over the last two pages in here!

Just a couple for me tonight, but my latest order arrived, so tons to start overdosing on! :

Steve Roach – Future Flows

Twenty Sixty Six and Then – Reflections From the Future

Atomic Rooster – In Hearing Of… (did you like this one, Sam?)

Nova – Wings of Love – Such a cool and breezy funky poppy jazz-fusion album!

Tonton Macoute – s/t – I assume some of you gentlemen have heard this great one before from ’71? Some killer piano, flute and sax playing throughout. The first track is probably the weakest (sounds a bit like the Rolling Stones to my ears) without being bad, but after that it’s such a mellow jazzy knockout!
