In an attempt to get a new (productive) thread started here, I decided to make a thread about recent purchases and discussion of them. What to do is fairly obvious...
I'll post up a list (or pictures) of stuff I've recently picked up later. Feel free to start, now.

A couple of weeks ago my order of the album "Bellatrix" by composer Rene Gruss arrived in the mail.
I really enjoyed it.

I recently purcahsed a few CD's, The first being a collection of Toccata and Fuges and Preludes and Fugues by J.S. Bach played by E. Power Biggs. E. Power Biggs defintly knows how to play organ pieces by bach. I've always enjoyed him as an organist. The second CD I bought was a collection of Brahm's Piano Concerto's. as you all I know I'm a avid fan of brahms, so of course I loved the CD. It also had Brams Varations on a Theme by Haydn, and the tragic overture. I also bough Brahms Piano quintet in F minor. And the third CD I bought was a gershwin album, contaning Rhapsody in Blue, An Americain in Paris, and (The whole reason I bought the CD) Gershwin's Piano concerto in F.
Whenever I buy CD's I try to make sure the preformances are of people I know, and groups I can trust. I guess you can say I'm picky when it comes to listening to music....

Schostakovich. Holst. and I wanna buy the Soundtrack for Pirates of the Carribbean (<3 Klaus Badlet) When you have to defend your choice, there's a reason for it... xp As for me... Today I've purchased a set of Beethoven's wind works from Amazon.com ($40 set for about $15 + shipping = w00t) Nest's Woodsmoke (ambient/folk) Steve Roach & Roger King's Dust To Dust (yet another ambient thing...they had a sale. xp ) and Vidna Obmana's Ending Mirage (ambient project, hopefully it'll be good)

Yeah. Of course, I use that keyboard exclusively on the piano setting, unless I feel like ******** around. xp

Liquid_Len suicide_arc Backstreet boys (think of them as a vocal quintet). only they are pretty much Homophonic. Good point, but they're not exclusively homophonic. They are sometimes Polyphonic. If you also think about it, there isn't a place for full ployphonic vocal music in today's market, so, for them to fully exploit the polyphonic texture they'd have to resign to a life of not having a contract. The texture of their music has little bearing on their arrangement, either. There's still five of them and they all sing on both a rotary basis and as a group (duets/trios ect).

I recently ordered a CD from a lady known as Melissa the Loud (her name's actually Melissa Kacalanos). She's an alto, although the info sheet in the CD case said something about her being a soprano. >.>
Anywho...
She plays the hurdy gurdy. I like that instrument. It reminds me of a stringed version of a bagpipe.
There are also several other strange, exotic instruments being played in this CD, including a tupan, doumbek, mandola, cumbus, and riq.

we've just recently ordered a couple king's singers recordings from amazon.com: a collection of renditions of songs by the beetles and their "from byrd to the beetles" dvd. loved their vocal arrangement of the overture to the barber of seville. especially the "tiddly-boo"s.

Rangel I recently purcahsed a few CD's, The first being a collection of Toccata and Fuges and Preludes and Fugues by J.S. Bach played by E. Power Biggs. E. Power Biggs defintly knows how to play organ pieces by bach. I've always enjoyed him as an organist. I second this. It's sort of funny because he was the polar opposite of Virgil Fox in regard to how Bach's music was played. While Fox favored very modern, almost rockstar-esque interpretations and registrations, Biggs was very much into preserving the traditional registrations and deliveries of the works. Have you had a chance to hear the Flentrop organ at the Busch-Reisinger Museum that he recorded it on? It's really a fantastic instrument.
