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 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.

The most recent I've got Molvaer Petter Nils "Khmer" on 1997 ECM CD and listen to it over and over and still want to listen. Great masttering or maybe not great but makes me stun.
Fish for Fish self-titled album on vinyl now also drives me nuts.
20 Souvenirs of Dalida is for my wife which is also great vinyl.
I now have an extra rare CD reissue of Ginger Baker "African Force" the vinyl retails arround $60...100 i.e. too costly to get.
