Chevelle - "Mars Simula"
This is actually something I didn't expect to like even though I like Chevelle.

Chevelle - "Mars Simula"
I'd been a fan ever since Wonder What's Next, but hadn't heard anything new from them on the radio in years. All of a sudden, though, I'm hearing "Mars Simula" on every rock station, and miracle of miracles, it's actually really good.

I've heard a little from their album before this. It was good. But the new one is probably better.
Megadeth - "Peace Sells"
Classic Megadeth.
I have had good results in record stores by adhering to the following guidelines:
1) It's in the jazz section
2) It was produced between c.1971 and c.1978
3) It has at least one synthesiser listed on the credits.
However, that's almost certainly just me.

Though I am far from an aficionado on jazz, I have had good luck in that category. Norah Jones, Weather Report, Miles Davis. I have been told on multiple occasions that I need some John Coltrane in my collection.
Journey of the Sorcerer-Eagles
You have to love how the Eagles decided one day to write this cosmic-fantasy instrumental and throw in a banjo for fun. And then a sci-fi writer ends up making that the theme to a genre-defining work cause of said banjo...and the rest is history.
Magnificent composition.
A great piece of 70's prog, even though the middle is a bit more on the hard rock side

I would recommend it very strongly.
'Impressions' , 'A Love Supreme' and Africa/Brass are my faves. Some of the later stuff is pretty far-out, which may or may not be your thing.

I always liked this one

I am officially on the Coltrane, after listening with my wife we promptly went out to get those three albums. She suggested getting a "Best of", I however have never been a fan of best of/greatest hits collections.
Whenever I listen to music, I like to listen to the whole album. Hearing the song progression from the beginning to the end really feels like an adventure for me.

Well this fits two of the three criteria for Limeylongears. No synth to be found
She flies on strange wings-Golden Earring
Crying to the Sky-Be Bop Deluxe

Masayoshi Takanaka album All of me popped into my up next playlist some days ago on autoplay and I've been absolutely digging his music since, it's honestly mindblowing how localized his music is to Japan with VERY little of the marketing or sales for it even being bothered to be translated or recreated for English speaking/reading audiences.

Rikki Ililonga Shebeen Queen
I discovered zamrock a couple months ago and have been slowly exploring it.
I imagine you'll have encountered them already, but the two compilations of that scene on Now Again records are the tops:
Herb Ellis & Remo Palmier – Windflower
I've never been particularly into Herb Ellis as a guitarist, but this is lovely.

It's not publicly available yet but TMBG has a new album, BOOK, out in a few weeks that I've thoroughly been enjoying for the last few days. In particular, Darling the Dose and Brontosaurus are great jams.
Otherwise, Leong Cheng - Leon Mode dropped a few months ago and that's definitely dig-worthy.
I'm very torn about this cover... it's extremely catchy and well-done, but seems to miss the rawness and pain of the original:
Grechka - "Vsyo Idyot Po Planu" (Grazhdanskaya Oborona cover)
