Zen Mantra - Zen Mantra (2015)

Thanks Nick, you bought this great slab of vinyl along to Tuesday’s Shut Up And Listen session and the ear worm hasn’t left since!

Marillion - Marbles (2004)

They’re a snobby bunch! Prog has always suffered badly when judged by the “mainstream” music press. You won’t see a review of any Marillion record in Uncut, Q Magazine or Mojo.

Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up (2017)

A far cry from Friday’s everything-bar-the-kitchen-sink early 70’s psycho-soup, this is sparse and demanding of concentration. These are the records I really treasure the most.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (1971)

Bought this chunk of vinyl from Grant Smithies new “Family Jewels” record shop this very day. Hopefully, this record shop will fill the big void for us Nelsonians wanting a decent vinyl supply.

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.
