What music have you been buying lately?

I went through another one of those LP buying spurts recently. Yeah, I even bought a few CDs. As I look at the pile it's a pretty ecclectic collection.
I bought a couple of Van Morrison CDs, "Back on Top," and "Best of." I also got the Nora Jones CD, and The Traveling Wilbury's.
I bought a new copy of Muddy Water's 'Folk Singer.' and a Byrd's Lp, A Jethro Tull Lp I already had and some new Dylan.
On the classical side I bought Mozart's 'Requiem,' and a copy of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana.'
I also picked up a copy of John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme."
So what have you been buying as I was going through this session of unrestrained abandon???

I've been overworked and in need of severely distracting and engaging material (soothing material some other time), so I've been buying: thrash metal, electronic experimental, hip-hop/funk, japanese 70's blues/sabbath worship, french fusion/RIO, finnish casiotone hard trance:

Exumer: Possessed by Fire, Rising from the Sea (Teutonic Terrors re-releases)
Bruce Haack: Electric Lucifer vol. 2
The Lord Wierd Slough Feg: S/T
Herbie Hancock: Perfect Machine
Aavikko: Multi Muysic
Blues Creation: Demon and Eleven Children
Magma: Kobaia

Some of it sounds great on a nice system, some of it sounds, well, awful. But ALL of it has taken my mind way off work.

Music isn't just about fidelity - that was only a recent invention.

System of a Down: Toxicity - Very entertaining (not enough of the MTV satan repenting type sound, however).
The White Stripes: White Blood Cells - Again, not enought of that tasty MTV mojo.
Boulez Conducts Bartok (Sony SACD) - Hoochie Mama!
The 'Stones SACD remakes - Need you ask?
Elena Papandreou (Naxos) - Her Disc is O.K. (classical guitar); Her live performance is from another planet...
Wishbone Ash: Wishbone Ash - Doesn't sound the same without the fine colombian...

I just got a copy of Miles Davis "live at Montreux". Awesome!!! Of course with 20 CD's not everything is awesome, but one of the most consistent big sets I have heard. Not for everyone since this is his later period with music like you will hear on "Tutu" but I really enjoy it.

I've just picked up two Bill Evans cds, Portrait in Jazz and Explorations. They are the Riverside remasters with the 20bit K2 super coding, sort of poor man's XRCDs. Great music, very good sound.

I also recently picked up Keith Jarrett - Vienna, ECM, sound quality is good, music is excellent, I just wish they would keep the mike away from Keith. His noises while playing are extremely annoying.
