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.

The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding (2017)
A big, sprawling epic. 4 slabs of exquisite meandering, guitar tinged country blues rock. WTF! It’s also electronica, squelchy pop with a hint of Dylanesque.

Barry Adamson - The Murky World Of (1999)
Prior to his solo career which kicked off in the late 80’s, he was bass player extraordinaire for Magazine (A definite desert Island band) and Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds (no slouches either!

Fat Freddys Drop - Based On A True Story (2005)
I first heard the track “Ernie” at our last “Shut Up And Listen” session back in September and was suitably impressed enough to buy the vinyl.
