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!

Chris's Session - Jun 17
The themes were: The very first lyrics of the tune must be exactly the same as the title of the tune., The tune must come from an album whose front cover contains no words, no letters, no numerals, no readin’ matter, Fresh

I’ve been listening this for a few months now via Tidal and on the strength of repeated listens I needed to own the plastic, Their best record since Violator it’s also their bit “Fuck America!

Lorde - Melodrama (2017)
It’s no surprise to me at all that I queued up like many others to get my copy of Lorde’s new record.

Various Artists - Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present English Weather (2017)
An awesome compilation of music from “the post-psychedelic, pre-progressive moment” - hello 70’s, goodbye 60’s. I heard this playing at “Slow Boat” in Wellington a few months back - specifically Australian Daevid Allen of Gong fame performing a trance-like " Wise Man In Your Heart".

Aldous Harding - Party (2017)
I accidentally discovered Aldous Harding via a co-appearance with Lorde on Jools Holland. The two kiwis both sang on the same night.

Jonathan Richman - Radio On: Stop And Shop With The Modern Lovers (1997)
Three years on from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the world of rock’n’roll was a very different place for me - I’d discovered Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed.

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (SACD) (1973)
I don’t give a rat’s arsehole what other people think of this record - it’s an amazing record that epitomised the brilliance of growing up in the musical potpourri of the early to mid 70’s.

Endless Boogie - Focus Level (2008)
Endless in name, endless in execution. With most songs lasting around the 8 to 10 minute mark it’s an epic non-stop jam session and an exercise in endurance.
