The Breeders - Pod (1990)

Insane 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.

The Big Pink - A Brief History Of Love (2009)

“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.

Stomu Yamashta - Go Too (1977)

God knows how I got into this in the late 70’s? I know I was listening to Return To Forever and especially 1975’s brilliant “Romantic Warrior” at the time.

Katatonia - Dethroned And Uncrowned (2013)

The last few records I’ve listened to have been a bit introspective and at times demanding. This afternoon I’ve gone all Swedish Metal gone Prog, and uncut!
