Looking for music that was new to you and your collection that lit you and your system up last year.

Here’s my list:

Vinyl - 

UHQR version of Steely Dan “Asia”

Original Master Recording of Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”

Digital files - 

Mac Miller “Circles”

Iron & Wine “The Shepherds Dog”

Jacob Collier “Djesse Vol.2”

Mokave “Afrique”

Skrillex “Quest for Fire”

Beyonce “Cowboy Carter”

CD -

Sinead O’Conner “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

 

This is at least what is top of mind.

@sfar went to Casa de Fados in Evora in 2024.  Loved it.  I will check that artist out!

Thanks for all these responses. I don’t recall if I discovered this in 2024, but I sure listened to it a lot last year when in the mood for “subtle nuance and haunting beauty “.

Anders Jormin, Lena Willemark, Karin Nakagawa, Jon Fält “Pasado en Claro”
