Good question....from Koegz above.

Have you heard Hugh Masekela album, "Hope"?
Its a Jazz album. Listen to the track: "Coal Train".
I have a small LP collection of just over 1100 records (mostly Jazz), and I go through them and label the best sounding ones. I have many great sounding records, but Hugh Masekela "Hope" is the one I remember rhe most. I bought it new from Elusivedisc.com. I first heard this LP at an audio show in Tokyo two years ago, and I never came across a used one, so I bought it new.
Kind of a gothic/folk record from the Current 93 school. Really sad but stunningly beautiful and the sound is killer.
Thurston Moore's Demolished Thoughts has great synergy with Beck as producer. Sounds like unplugged Sonic Youth with Beck in Mutations/Sea Change mode, channeling Nick Drake.
My Morning Jacket Circuital. A big step forward for MMJ. A kaleidescope that starts out echoing Savoy Brown, Tommy-era Who and darker 90's bands like Morphine and Acetone and one wild White Stripes femalisation in Horehound mode, then gradually softens toward Neil Young electric melodicism and even a few bubblegum & doo-wop inflections. There are some great brass arrangements in spots. It shouldn't cohere, but it does and creatively so. IMO the year's most interesting rock, with exceptional SQ on 2x 45 rpm.
