New Releases For 2015
« on: January 01, 2015, 10:50:10 AM »

What have you just bought? What are you looking forward to? Suggestions for other pirates?
No list limit. No post limit. Re-issues are fine. If you like it and it's out this year then post it and if you didn't like something tell us why.

Faith No More

Since discovering the album "Angel Dust" and finding a fellow Rock & Metal fan in school I look forward to this album in particular. Everything else in music is a surprise for me. This year I will make Classical Music a bigger part of my listening playlists.

Some upcoming albums I'm anticipating in 2015 so far:

Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (got this on vinyl even though I've already heard the leak --- really good IMO).
The Decemberists  -  What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
Father John Misty  -  I Love You Honeybear
The Soft Moon  -  Deeper
Dan Deacon  -  Gliss Riffer
Sleater-Kinney  -  No Cities To Love
Chance the Rapper & the Social Experiment  -  Surf
Death Grips' The Powers That B ...??
Meow the Jewels ...??
New Kendrick Lamar

Edit: Oh, yeah, and Mount Eerie's Sauna album.
New Kanye West

The multi-award-winning Pavel Haas Quartet will have an album of Smetana quartets out in April.

Possibly in the summer, the Pacifica Quartet/Marc-Andre Hamelin recording of the Dvorak and Ornstein quintets (which I saw them perform live in November 2013).

Who's releasing those?  I like Hamelin's solo Ornstein CD.

PHQ is always on Supraphon.

Not sure who would release the Hamelin/Pacifica Quartet stuff.  Hamelin records for Hyperion, but the Pacifica stuff I have (their complete Shostakovich quartets is totally worth owning) is on Cedille.  Either way, it's likely to be available as a hi-res download.

This is out in a month. I was a fan of his soundtracks before I realised it. Those sparse electronic themes seem inseparable from the visuals he created.

What do you think of Hyperion's Hamelin's sound?  I love his playing but I find a lot of the solo piano recordings sound either vieled, laid back, I don't know how to describe it, sounds very toned down, like it's being recording in a big space, even his studio stuff.  Even on his music that is supposed to be percussive it's not percussive at all.  This in my mind is not a positive, I'm not saying he has a mellow tone, I think it's the recording/mastering took all the bite out of the piano.  I don't know anything about recording/mastering, I may be describing it inaccurately, but for example if you hear a Richter's Phillips authorized recordings, prokofiev, beethoven, it sounds like the opposite, maybe too harsh, but I kind of prefer that sound, sounds a bit more real.  I'm not talking about their difference of tone or piano either, anyone else hear this?

PJ Harvey's going to be recording her new album starting in mid-January live in an art installation. If you're in London you can come in and see her and the band at work.
