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.

Blonde Redhead - 23 (2007)
I’m not sure why these dudes get compared to Sonic Youth? I’m a big fan of Thurston, Kim and the boys and really struggle with that concept.

Pixies - Wave Of Mutilation (Best Of) (2004)
Illness does funny things to your ears! Tonight is the first time I have felt like listening to any form of music in nearly 10 days.

The Amps - Pacer (1995)
A 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.

Heidi Berry - Miracle (1996)
About 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.
