DavidAn amazing compilation of singles and non-album tracks. Incidently, New Order released a compilation a year earlier also called “Substance” .

DavidI hated this when it first came out on Tidal. Very average to my ears and I just about gave up on it.

DavidOK, I’ve let the cat out of the bag. The Mars Volta live at The Big Day Out on Friday 16h January 2004 was the single most incredible live act I have ever witnessed.

DavidI’ve never heard Taylor Swift’s 1989 album . Ryan Adams covers it in it’s entirety on this record - track-by-track. I’m not interested in comparisons however, as this stands alone.

DavidThis band never ceases to amaze me. I’m trawling through their entire back catalogue (going back to the mid-90s) where they were first discovered and nurtured by Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley.
