Best recording audiophile level albums of 2010

Richard, agreed it's hard to keep up with Oldham's output. IMO this is among his best.

Wyatt/Atzmon/Stephan "for the ghost within" LP is beautifully recorded chamber jazz-- original compositions and also nice takes on Monk, Strayhorn, Mercer and others. Less eccentric than typical Wyatt. For my money he's the most wistful yearning pure voice since Orbison.

Singing Ax by J. Tillman out on Western Vinyl [WEST078]

Notec,

Agreed. Uncanny dynamics and presence to Tillman's voice, almost unheard of in a modern recording; a tip of the hat to Steve Albini/Electrical Audio. Highly recommended.

Wow. This is shaping up to be a great thread for me. First the WIll Oldham recommendation and now a new J.Tillman. Nice. Thanks for that. Vacillando Territory Blues is a heavy rotation album for me. Look forward to Singing Ax.

Speaking of Western Vinyl I like "Constellations" by Balmorhea.
