A streaming recommendation: The Catalonian radio station Cat Classica, available through Sooloos, provides a wide range of Catalonian classical music from medieval plainchant through to 19/20th century guitar concertos and modern classical pieces. There are virtually no interrruptions, just an advert on start-up and station idents every 30 minutes or so. You can follow what is playing on their web-site, which is in Catalan not Spanish.

Thank you Gianni
This opportunity for virtual travel is most welcome as I have a double fracture of my left leg and only means of transport for at least the next four weeks is a Zimmer Frame.
Your interest in the North of Spain is extremely helpful as a diversion in my recuperation.

'Official Bootleg' version of Dark Side of the Moon' - German Import - by Dream Theater.
Recorded at Hammersmith Apollo (2005).
It's well recorded, and a joy to listen to.
Recommended.

I heartily recommend Amilia K Spicer.
Two albums available "Like an Engine" (2000) and "Seamless" (2003). Amazing recordings and content.
New album 'Wow and Flutter" with a release date of May 2017.
If you like the albums mentioned above, the new album can be pre-ordered from Pledge Music.
Blatant advertising I know, but if you have not come across this incredible artist I am sure your support would be really appreciated (10 dollars for the pre order download).

I'm really enjoying the two MQA versions of the Grateful Dead's early albums, especially 'Workingman's Dead'.
That album is new to me (Deadheads didn't make it to the small market town i grew up in). It's full of brilliant songs and sounds great.
Main system: NUC, Roon, Network Acoustics Ag ENO/cable, 218, 5200SE, Townsend Podium, Sennheiser HD820/800s, Sennheiser HDVA 820 amp.
Mobile: Explorer, IE800
Kitchen: MS200, F80

"Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind" King Crimson. 3 x CDs and a Bluray. Details here. I have been pacing myself as there is a lot of music. Just started playing the third disc. "Red" and "One More Red Nightmare" are terrifying; her ladyship is unimpressed. Brilliant stuff.

"Rosensfole" by Agnes Buen Garnås and Jan Garbarek.
Available to stream on Tidal (non MQA) after years of being out of print.
Sublimely beautiful soundscapes, perfect singing and top-notch production.

have to agree, one of the better concept albums of recent years. great subject matter of course...
Edit: speaking of which, any strong opinions either way as yet on Father John Misty's recent effort? some stand out tracks for me but on the whole i'm a little underwhelmed..
