King Crimson - Discipline (1981)

In the early 80’s, when I first encountered this recording, it was one of the supposed “Dinosaur” bands that just slipped this record in and made themselves right at home with new wave.

Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker (2000)

This just sounds majestic on my turntable. This is another example of a record best experienced on vinyl - spread over 4 sides, there’s plenty of breathing space in those grooves.

Blonde Redhead - Misery Is A Butterfly (2004)

This 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.

Led Zeppelin - The Complete BBC Sessions (LP1) (2016)

Ain’t nothing but the blues. Great early recordings from a bunch of hairy English blues obsessives. With the exception of The Who, has there ever been a more devastating outfit than this bunch of ruffians?

No Man - Schoolyard Ghosts (2008)

It’s after 9pm on a Thursday evening. Kettley arrived home next door late afternoon and cranked up his Pearl Jam. (I’m so pleased I declared this on my 10 bands I fucking hate list!

New Order - Brotherhood (1986)

I flipped an “N” on my randomiser. With less than a dozen artists to choose from I went for the midling and picked New Order’s forth record.

Depeche Mode - Delta Machine (2013)

The first thing that hits you is the BIG production. Being on vinyl it feels impossibly expansive. It’s a go slow from the first track and I’m checking the deck speed.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung [40th Aniversary Deluxe Edition] (1971)

For god’s sake how many copies of Aqualung does one need! When you come across a brand spanking 40th Edition Super Deluxe version (LP,2CD,DVD,Blu-Ray) for lest than $50 you grab it as quick as you can.

Frank Zappa - Overnite Sensation (1973)

This record, along with Zoot Allures, is my favourite Zappa album. While I’m not overly familiar with much Zappa, (I’m not a clinically obsessive fanatic), I just know what I like.
