John Foxx - Metamatic (1980)

In 1977, as a bare assed teenager - Ultravox changed my life. This was the great John Foxx years and those first three records changed my musical roadmap.

Matt Berry - The Small Hours (2016)

More minor key madness from Mr. Toast. OK, it’s the same song played 57 slightly different ways over 5 albums but I just love this guy.

Elton John - Rock Of The Westies (1975)

One of my guilty pleasures is still liking some early Elton John records. While this is possibly my favourite Elton John record, for numerous and quite frankly unexplainable reasons, this is definitely the end of the line as far as my E.

Darkside - Psychic (2013)

This is a strange one. I love it but couldn’t for a minute recommend it to anyone without some big disclaimers.

Steve Mason - Meet The Humans (2016)

As with all of the Beta Band releases, Steve Mason’s song writing and mastery of the pop hook continues. This is a meandering beauty that just creeps along dragging you along with it.

Cornelius - Sensurround (2008)

Is this the best sounding 5.1 DTS recording on the planet? This little chunk of plastic rendered by my player and theatre system/amplifier in glorious surround sound certainly warrants that tag.

The The - Soul Mining (1983)

Deluxe Vinyl Box Set I bought this big box of vinyl back from Old Blighty and dodged an overweight luggage penalty by a few grams.

Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate (2016)

Brilliant second outing for this London born Ugandan. I saw a lot of references to this while in London, so had to bring this home.

Temples - Sun Structures (2014)

Brilliant debut from 4 Kettering lads. Along with Tame Impala, who springs to mind immediately, these neo-retro specialists are stuck in a mid to late 60’s time warp.

Assoicates - Sulk (1982)

Billie Mackenzie had one of the most distinctive and extraordinary voices in pop/rock history. He eventually met a tragic, self-inflicted demise despite being an exceptional but underappreciated talent.
