What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Over several evenings now, various early Michael Brecker recordings:

S/T (1st as group leader; track 1 is "Sea Glass")
Don't Try This At Home
Now You See It...Now You Don't
Tales From The Hudson

Also, Yellowjackets:  
Like a River
Timeline

Some of their recordings get awfully close to sounding like "smooth jazz" (e.g., several tracks from Like A River) but for the most part, on these two albums, a nice balance of non-banal accessibility and attention-holding complexity with great musicianship throughout.  Timeline, especially, is the more consistent recording in this regard.

New remixes from original tapes by Barclay James Harvest are excellent. Three disk sets are fair priced, have 2 CDs (remix and flat transfer) and DVD with 24/96 and DTS 5.1 mixes (also a great listening, but well, those are not CD )) )
A touch below Steve Wilson remixes of Jethro Tull, but still...

For Roy Buchanan lovers who haven' yet discovered him, be sure and give Danny Gatton a listen (start with the WB 2-disc CD collection). He was a good friend of Roy's, both having come up through the Washington D.C. Blues/Rockabilly/Hillbilly scene. Vince Gill nicknamed Danny "The Humbler" ;-).

Roy and Danny had another peer in D.C., the Telecaster maniac known as Evan Johns. Not as precise as his two pals, but a great guitarist, songwriter, and singer. Danny and Evan were in a couple of D.C. bands together before they hit the big-time individually.
