Faunts - High Expectations/Low Results (2005)
7 years to the day, I played this CD. According to my notes “it was a real surprise”. Unsurprisingly, they remain even more surprising.

New Order - Movement (1981)
Just 12 months after the demise of Ian Curtis and Joy Division, New Order (initially “The People’s New Order of Kampuchea”) produced this transitional record to very mixed reviews.

Sola Rosa - Chasing The Sun (2020)
Andrew Spraggon was once a solo knob twiddler. He was also once a touring member of Dimmer (as revealed on a recent RNZ Music 101 podcast) He’s now the ultimate collaborator.

Dntel - Life Is Full Of Possibilities (2001)
This is totally apt to bring in the new year. Released 20 years ago, this is an album of beautiful ambient soundscapes and textures that’s completely sabotaged and ambushed by the alternative, indie world protagonists.

The Subliminals - United State (2000)
There is just so much to love about this record. The track “Uh-oh” alone would be worth the price by itself.
