DavidWhen 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.

DavidThe wonderful sound of new wave/no wave imploding! Bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Spiritualized and Bang Bang Machine (maybe not!

DavidOne 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.

DavidA very short lived but brilliant interim project from The Pixies’ and Breeders’ Kim Deal. I always thought that the Pixies and Breeders were misplaced on the 4AD label.

DavidAbout as close to Celtic folky stuff that I would chose to get. I’m not a great fan at all but this record combines Heidi Berry’s wonderful vocal delivery with Violinist Anne Wood’s unconventional but stunning string work.

DavidInsane cover, insanely good record! And all over in less than 30 minutes. I had the pleasure of seeing them support The Smashing Pumpkins in Wellington in 1994.

David“The Big Dirge” more like it! But amidst all of the suffocation are some really good songs that hark back to the sound I was engrossed with during the late 80’s and 90’s.
