Do I detect a little rebuke to “completism” ? Although I quite agree that recent trends for box sets have pushed the boundaries of acceptability on prices and content, I would probably have given up on music if I hadn’t been able to indulge in a bit of collecting when everything was being issued on CD.
But I also believe that it makes sense to buy the work of people who are recording now since they are then more likely to produce more.
Therefore, the only response I can give is to buy the whole of your list – or at least the two I hadn’t previously bought.

It is, that shows you how far behind I am! My problem is that my to-listen pile is usually dozens tall at any given time and features discs from any number of years.

I relocated recently, so I need to scare up a good indie record store or three in my area.

That’s a 2012 release, isn’t it? A fairly intense listen, and manages to make Storm Corrosion seem mainstream by comparison.

I’m way, way behind on newly-released music, but the Swan’s “Seer” is a recent release that comes to mind as being worthy of attention. Just copped it the other week and am still lost in it, the way one gets up to one’s knees in Proust.
