What's your latest "Discovery"

You know when you buy a new album and it just clicks?! And then you have to play it rather frequently in the mix over and over for the next several days....What's the last album's you bought that really clicked for you?

I just picked up a Jazz trio album that is just a wonderful recording and performance:

It's called "Achirana" on ECM (that label seems to have a lot of great discs!). Vassilis Tsabroplulos, Piano. Arild Andersen, Double-Bass. John Marshall, Drums. Love the 5th cut! That double bass is right there in the room!

Also been enjoying a new classical guitar disc: Julian Bream, "The Ultimate Guitar Collection" on BMG. Great double-disc set. Not that crazy about the recording on this one, but the performance and breadth of the tapestry of work on those two CD's is remarkable.

Any new "discoveries" to share?

Albertporter - I lost count of the number of copies I've purchased of the 'Yr' disc - seems though it would become permanent hostage any time I'd bring a copy to a friends house.

Check out the bit torrent sites. Theres a great live show from 1988 for the release of "Exploded View" (Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MN December, 1988). The set also contains many cuts from the Yr album.

As for my latest discovery - I was unaware that there was an actual release of the "Trio of Doom" - John McLaughlin/Jaco Pastorius/Tony Williams. I had read some years ago that this was a sick performance. A must have for fusion fans and a rare piece of musical history. More info here.
