Lone Lady - Former Things (2021)

Time warp, flash back alert. There’s a somewhat wacky (corny even!) minimalistic analogue synth and drum machine vibe happening on this surprisingly catchy recent release.

XTC - Black Sea (1980)

This is another vinyl relic that’s been added to my “Essentials” vinyl collection. This 2019 re-press is NOT the Steven Wilson remaster but the original 1980 pressing.

Various Artists - Close To The Noise Floor (2016)

What I have here is possibly the single greatest bargain of my entire music media collection. This 4x CD compilation and 50 page, brilliantly informative hardback book, cost me 79 cents.

Enya - The Very Best Of Enya

Don’t judge me! This is a fabulous chill-out, sonically pleasing, guilty pleasure. All the Enya you’ll ever need on a single release.

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream (A Film By Brett Morgen)

30 odd years ago, one of my prized possessions was a bootleg copy of “His Master’s Voice”, Bowie’s last stand as “Ziggy” at the Hammersmith Odeon on July 3rd 1973.

Katie Kim - Hour Of The Ox (2022)

Going through the top albums lists of the previous year is always a great way of letting others do the heavy lifting in one’s search for new music.

Kimbra - A Reckoning (2023)

Just thought I’d dip into a track or two to sample my new laptop/DAC/headphones setup. I never left. That headphone setup is now my new benchmark for the best way to listen to serious music.

David's Session - Jan 23

The themes were: Happy: Surely we aren’t in for another annus horribilis? Let’s introduce the year to “Happy”., New: Bring something newly discovered, preferably from this century., Year: An age, an era, a measure of time.

Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood - Nancy & Lee (1968)

Last night’s effort, while pleasant enough and engaging, was never going to threaten these two crooners. While possibly the eipitome of polar opposites in singing styles, there is something truly other-worldly that glues this all together.

Adam Green & Binki Shapiro (2013)

Third time lucky. I tried to listen to a couple of CDs from “The Redcross Collection” this evening. That was a painful 6 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back - they were truly hideous.
