David Bowie/Black Star/ Qobuz Air3 from my laptop.

This has absolutely wonderful sound quality and is fantastic! Superb recording and voice...

Melanie de Biasio - No Deal, 24/44.1 download from Qobuz

I'll second that, very beautiful!

I have recently discovered 'Roger Walters' and his 1992 album 'Amused to Death' on HD Tracks site, so took a punt and downloaded the high res version on a whim.

...I am hooked!

It took several listening sessions (did think I had made a mistake to start with), but each song gently draws you in.

Being old (like some others here) his songs initially reminded me of the 80's 'protest' songs, which at the time left me cold... but this album is so full of story (albeit a little dated now), ambience, and messages, being delivered by his raspy but very tuneful voice, mixed in the background sounds and brilliantly composed musical accompaniment, adding up to a separate and very enjoyable 'journey' for each song with so much detial!

Yes, highly recommended!

IMO this is the best piece of work by Roger Waters, unsung and oberlooked at the time it was released.
James Guthrie's achievement on the remastered edition made it even better.
Jeff Porcaro's groove on the song "It's a Miracle" and Jeff Beck's guitars on a couple of songs are jaw-dropping. 
I don't  share mr Waters political views, and consider that a record can hardly be an appropiate medium to seriously investigate social or political issues without being simplistic or even caricatural. However, the main topic inspired by Neil Postman book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" can retrospectively appear prophetic.
I second your opinion : "highly recommended" indeed !

Porcupine Tree "Fear of a Blank Planet"



Thoughtful, dark-ish but melodic prog rock.

Avro Pärt: Litanei [DSD]

Perfect to forget everything around me......

Cindy Lauper - Memphis Blues
Genre: Blues.
Streaming from Qobuz

This is just a total joy to listen to. I think it's just totally unexpected that Cindy Lauper has made a blues album, very pleasantly surprised by this.

Just listened to. Excellent ! Remind me some tracks from "The Wall". No problem with any political message, don't understandanderstand enough   .

By the way, the artwork is different :

Villa-Lobos string quartets, Danubius Quartet

Mentioned before, but I keep coming back to these. Something new and interesting to hear every time I listen to them. (And plenty to choose from!)
