Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City (2012)
Kendrick Lamar is such a great story teller that you sometimes forget what an absolute brilliant producer, musician and collaborator he is.

Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1993)
A major major discovery for me in the early 90’s, Underworld was a serious electronic rock band. Dubnobasswithmyheadman remains an absolute classic record.

The XX - I See You (2017)
I hummed and ha’d about getting this on vinyl and relented today when it finally made an appearance at TWH. I’m glad I did - it’s a fucking monster of a record that deserves the uncompressed, unrestrained bandwidth of analogue.

XTC - English Settlement (1982)
This record is just an embarrassment of riches. I really had forgotten just how brilliant this album is. Not a wasted note from start to finish and at over 70 minutes in length, that’s a big ask.

The Vaccines - English Graffiti (2015)
Never heard of The Vaccines until I picked this chunk of vinyl up from The Warehouse many moons ago for 10 bucks.

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field (1980)
Stunning debut from the kings of goth! Opening with the incomparible “Double Dare”, which I first experienced as a 20 year old, it absolutely jolted me to the core!

Red House Painters - Ocean Beach (1995)
One of the more uplifting RHP records. While it’s really just another Mark Kozelek solo project, it sounds like a proper band.

Michael Brook - Cobalt Blue (1992)
When you add the calibre of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois to proceedings you just know it’s special. This instrumental album, showcasing some very impressive processed guitar playing and harmonics, borrows from a myriad of influences.

Pale Saints - The Comforts Of Madness (1990)
The wonderful sound of new wave/no wave imploding! Bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Spiritualized and Bang Bang Machine (maybe not!

Xymox - Clan Of Xymox (1985)
One of my most favourite recordings from the mid-80s, this Dutch group made all the right noises. It was electronic, it was goth, it was moody.
