Gary Numan - Savage (2017)

I was a huge Gazza fan back in 1979 when Tubeway Army gave us “Are Friends Electric” on the “Replicas” album.

Steven Wilson - To The Bone (2017)

What a load of bollocks to suggest Steven Wilson has sold out. Giving up his more “progressive” attributes to go all “pop” on this, his latest offering.

Mount Kimbie - Love What Survives (2017)

A package arrived at work on Thursday. This was sent via courier from Wellington after journeying as hand luggage all the way from London courtesy of my Son in Law Matt.

XTC - Drums And Wires (1979)

My first encounter with XTC was this record. Aside from the truly iconic cover that grabbed my attention, it was this record that helped me to move from listening to the marginally talented punk/post-punk bands to proper musicians that took risks.

Johnny Winter - Still Alive And Well (1973)

The best god damned Albino Blues Guitarist ever born in Beaumont, Texas. Full stop! Another one of those revelatory experiences as a 13 year old when big Sis brings this bitch of a record home.

Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers (2007)

Another fucking 3 years!!! Just when you thought “hey this might really happen?”, National hit their slow but steady stride with dirty, stinking politics (and probably just too many selfish voters!

Van Morrison - It's Too Late To Stop Now (1974)

For such a grumpy bastard, it’s surprising that Van Morrison oozes so much soul and humanity. Reality, apparently, is very different.

Cream - Disraeli Gears (1967)

I remember seeing Cream’s farewell concert on the goggle box back in the early to mid 70’s. It was fairly brutal stuff that really didn’t hold that much interest for me.

Guns 'N Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987)

I’ve never owned this record. I bought this classic record on vinyl as a 2 for $40 deal. It kicks arse.

Wolf People - Steeple (2010)

Any band that recycles the mighty Tull, flutes and all, better get away with it. While more an amalgam of everything 70’s, guitar riffs, long hair and flairs - it’s no gimmick.
