A successful night of Bandcamp shopping, now enjoying the fruits of my virtual crate-digging on the Traillii with my much-loved 1A, along with a glass of wine!

Yeah they really are stunning - I don't listen every day, more of a ritual to take them out for special moments or very focused listening... but yeah, when I do - wow.

For anyone that enjoys modern classical, this is an absolutely beautiful album and my top pick discovery of the week. I actually have another album by Slow Meadow but only took a deeper look at other albums tonight - this really is special.

This starts with a pretty straightforward 4x4 rhythm, but builds and builds into something more chaotic and organic while never losing the beat. Great SQ too.

Thanks much for sharing, added to my Tidal library after about 20 seconds listen. Will dig deeper a bit later...

My discovery/rec this week is a bit of a change of gears, under the influence of Onyx I think.

Love Pantha Du Prince, a while since I've listened to him, definitely need a revisit. I'd class Gidge in a similar vein, both the below album and the more recent 'New Light' - both amazing.

BTW, I've not forgotten the bud comparison and will get to it over the weekend!

One of my favorites of a similar type to my previous post; mixes the electronic with the real, the steady with a little chaos.

Oh yes, we are on the same wavelength! Love Moritz, another that I've not listened to in ages and would be fantastic to revisit with earphones of some sort!

Speaking of starting in 4/4 and evolving into something grand, this one's something I reckon you guys might enjoy. 'Not your typical singer-songwriter tune, and a gorgeously-shot video as well.

Nice track! Some parts remind me of the rainforest

And the little bird entangled in its chaotic web called ecosystem

I'm a life-long CFA apologist and fanboy but I have to say all that buildup and imho the two final days were pretty anti-climactic. Still toying with the idea of a Shrink-ray or an Onyx tho.

get shrink ray worst case you trade it with me for a solaris 2020/dorado 2020, you can't lose! *wink wink*

Worth checking out the original release 'Khmer' on ECM. It's a classic with elements of electronic, jazz and ambient.

Currently listening on AONIC3. The wide soundstage and accurate tone makes this track sounds highly transparent and realistic. Even with 'just' a single BA, its simplicity can do wonders

Spoiler: More

It may not sound like it, but he's actually singing in Japanese. But with slightly different pronounciation
