Enjoying these lists guys, and taking notes.
@Inks and @zuko, agreed the Hisaishi reissues are nice but soo expensive. Did you see a few more were released around November e.g. the US score to Laputa. I nearly picked up Ponyo on release but could only afford Spirited away and Princess kaguya.
@Inks, L-gaim DT is great, I also have really dug the pharoh no Haka DT which I picked up after you praising it.
@scojo also a big fan of 80 by Andrzej Korczynski
I'll make up a list but it will be just records I purchased in 21, as I think for new releases this year I I'm in single digit numbers.
I focused a lot on trying to complete label/series runs, often filling the gaps for the cheaper/non essential/not good😅 titles I had previously passed on. But, also a few rare grails here or there too. Definitely stumbled across a few obscure treasures along the way.
The main culprits were the:
Columbia Nippon Digital Trip Series (3 short of all 53).
Futureland, LP releases (still missing a handful, the Kimagure Orange Road reissues helped 😉).
Animage Hi Tech series (short lived Animage equivalent to the Digital Trip series, I got all 9 though 😀)
Also tried to pick up more from the Animage label in general, and more Joe Hisaishi.
Outside of all things anime I've really been digging the GAD label and venturing more into Polish and other Eastern European soundtracks, synth stuff, funk stuff etc...
And, like many here, I've wanted to pick more og VS and similar old labels but only managed to grab a few.
