Trans Am – Volume X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTflg8fucvg

Re-issues/archive niceness:

Cardiacs – Sing To God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebDdbUacEao
Fripp & Eno – Live in Paris 1975 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK8RVIjZWqo
Jethro Tull – A Passion Play (Steven Wilson mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNUD3v4yQC0

VA – Warfaring Strangers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvNSXY3jWpw

Disappointing overall, but some good tracks:

Liars – Mess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbrNt-dMDsY
School of Language – Old Fears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYd8qQUKIaY

And my caveat with all this stuff as ever is that, while I’ve heard more music this year than I have for a long time (in fact, perhaps ever), this is still just based upon whatever happened to float into my orbit (or I proactively sought out), so of course, far from definitive.
