Music Tracking 2025

These are 2025 releases that I've taken note of, listed alphabetically by artist, with VA comps at the bottom. My grades, where available, are in brackets at the end of the line (stars in B+ range). Lines in blue indicate that I have a physical copy (albeit sometimes just a promo CDR); in green are records that I graded based on a Rhapsody stream or other such source. Most records have release dates and a brief generic note.

Unheard records are prioritized 0-3 (graded records are 4-5). The priotization is based subjectively on personal interests, reviews I've noticed, reviewers I particularly respect, what I know about the artists, etc. Roughly speaking: 0 is something I have no reason to consider (default page omits 0); 1 has been noted as having some cred somewhere; 2 is something I have some specific reason to search out; 3 is something I'll listen to ASAP.

Option selectors:

• Include priority 0, exclude rated.
• Just priority 2+, exclude rated.
• Rated only.
• Unrated only.
• Default (priority 1+ and rated).

Genre switches (selection not implemented yet):

• Blues
• Classical
• Country
• Electronica
• Hip-Hop
• Jazz
• Metal
• All
