Tweak Bird - Tweak Bird (2010)
Dirty old psychedelic blues played by Illinoisan brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird. (They call it sludge metal in those parts!) Riff after infectious riff - it’s relentlessness is wall to wall.

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (2013)
To be perfectly honest, I’ve never been a fan of Daft Punk. This changed this morning while reading my book “Vinyl Me, Please: 100 Albums You Need on Vinyl and Why”.

Slayer - Reign In Blood (1986)
I’ve got 30 minutes to spare this afternoon. I’ve therefore taken a speed over substance approach. This classic (highly regarded by speed metal purests anyway) is literally all over in a flash - but what a flash!

Blonde Redhead - La Mia Vita Violenta (1995)
Next month I’m only playing stuff from bands or artists that I have experienced live. This is a bit of a head start, a band I hold in the highest regard and witnessed live in London in 2014.

Bill Fay - Life Is People (2012)
Working at home on a Wednesday demands a certain level of restraint - it’s a work environment afterall. This is a beautiful record to create a relaxed and undisturbed afternoon while pondering the complete fabric of life.

Ruby - Salt Peter (1995)
Stunning debut from Ruby aka Leslie Rankine. Released more that 20 years ago, this is Nine Inch Nails meets Portishead. Not always easy listening Not always easy listening but invigorating to say the least.

Joy Division - Substance (1988)
An amazing compilation of singles and non-album tracks. Incidently, New Order released a compilation a year earlier also called “Substance” .

Blackfield - V (2017)
I hated this when it first came out on Tidal. Very average to my ears and I just about gave up on it.
