Recent French release featuring Anne Quillier (who's own 2017 album ended up on the Bird Is The Worm "best of list" by @jonahpwll ) Interesting mix of styles, and how can you not like an album with an opening track entitled "Beerman in Bremen"? ;-)
A friend gave me this to listen to, and I don't hate it as much as I thought I might. Little appetite as I have for the flutes-and-drums-and-spirituality new age kind of ambient music, parts of this are a good listen.
Revisiting an oldie. (there are free downloads from the cassette version here and I think the sound quality may actually be a little better than the MP3 re-release I bought. Or maybe just produced a little differently because the files are smaller.)
“Invisible Cities”, the first collaboration between AIDAN BAKER (NADJA,
B/B/S) and bass clarinetist GARETH DAVIS (OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE), offers
finest ambient / chamber jazz / subtle drones of a highly meditative
quality. . . ."
I don't think this album sounds at all like its cover art, if that makes sense. That may be why when I see it in my collection I can't remember what it sounds like. It actually sounds very nice. I also like the track titles, which include "What this button did," "Anteaters eat ants," and "You can use bamboo as a ruler".
Michele Mercure - Eyechant a reissue on the RVNG Intl sub label Freedom to Spend from earlier this year. Originally a very much of its time but utterly beguiling 1986 album credited at the time to the composer's married name Michele Musser. Freedom etc is curated by former Yellow Swans man Pete Swanson. Left field pop as much as anything else.

This was the next but one album to be sorted in my downloads folder. 2018 resolution more listening less downloading! (as if!!!)
Porzellan - Pensées Vol.1
Delightful.
Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri - La Equidistencia
If I had not been unaware of this until now it would likely have been in the running for my end of 2017 best-of-year list.
There's a track on the second album Severn Beach which is just lovely. Why it's taken me so long to listen to this guys work is a mystery.
