What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?


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.

The Cactus Blossoms 

Early Bob Dylan Mono recordings

Ry Cooder Paradise and Lunch

"Desfado" or any of the other Fado music albums by the Portuguese singer Ana Moura

@ghdprentice particularly their live albums, very well recorded as are all there albums.

Another discovery was Phronesis I only have Alive on vinyl but would love to get their others.

Here’s another one:

Ravel “Daphnis et Chloé*, Boléro, Alborada del Gracioso” London Symphony Chorus, London Symphony Orchestra, Claudio Abbado

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