Yes - Close To The Edge (1972)
I’m not sure if I was exposed to this record first or the earlier “The Yes Album”. Whatever the case was, the impact was astounding but just not a positive one at the time.

Passenger - Whispers (2014)
Another $5 bargain bin escapee. I’ve always been curious about this one but never bothered pursuing. Beautifully packaged, I couldn’t lose!

Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti (1975)
OMG I need this this evening! The bastards at work are getting me down big time. It’s time to purge. In May 2015 I wrote:

The Cure - Faith (1981)
There’s nothing much I can say about this record that wouldn’t demean it’s importance in my musical world. While every track, aside from the rollicking “Doubt” is the epitome of understatement and restraint, it’s the final track “Faith” that will take pride of place in my funeral march or on my death bed (I’m not really one for ceremony).

Blancmange - The Very Best Of Blancmange (2012)
Another great bargain bin find that helps greatly with my retro-manic obsession. I was listening to these dudes along with Human League, Heaven 17, OMD and god help us all, China Crisis back in the post punk, new wave, serious band transition period!

Liam Finn - The Nihilist (2014)
Had a big trawl of the bargain bins yesterday (unusual I know!) and picked up quite a few goodies for bugger all.

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels III (2017)
This record renders me catatonic. It demands my attention. I close my eyes and can’t concentrate on anything else. It’s impossible to focus on anything when this beast is playing.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1998)
Just bought this big, 4-sided monster on vinyl. One of my “Desert Island Discs” without doubt, it is certainly way up there as one of the greatest and most pioneering works ever created.

Ian Hunter - You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic (1979)
Mick Ronson’s best mate’s classic late 70’s masterpiece. (Ian Hunter was band leader of Mott The Hoople) I bought this amidst all of the punk and new wave I was being bombarded with at the time on the strength of the Ronson/Hunter partnership.
