Hot Chip - A Bath Full Of Ecstasy [Tidal] (2019)

Sunday afternoon is not a time to get the heavies out. Something soft and bouncy is called for. Hot Chip is a London band reportedly on the fringes of dance music and whatever the fuck “alternative” music is?

Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet (1994)

One of my newly acquired possessions appropriated during a recent raid of “The Family Jewels”. Who could resist the Stereolabs on 6 sides of see through, clear vinyl?

Dimmer - I Believer You Are A Star (2001)

My top NZ Desert Island disc. Definitely my most played NZ record of all time and finally purchased on vinyl. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s brilliant!

Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring [DVD-A] (1986)

One of my all time favorites, this record just oozes class. Buying this on vinyl was a no-brainer. Getting a free copy of this astounding album on hi-res DVD-A along with the vinyl copy was the icing on top.

The Modern Lovers (1976)

I made the big mistake of popping in to see Smithies at “Family Jewels Records” at the Freehouse this afternoon. Hey, we were just going for a pint, chunky sandwich and some of Steve’s famous chips.
