Matt Berry - Opium (2008)
Most people just wouldn’t get this and I wouldn’t want them to. Matt Berry, who is due to be one of the stars of the new “What We Do In The Shadows” TV series, is a acting, comedy and musical genius.

commentsNothing short of profound, this turn-of-the-new-millennium record, with ostentatious string arrangements by Tony Visconti, is a beautiful mess. I’d never be one to recommend Mercury Rev’s singular vision and introspective execution as a “must have” for any one’s music collection.
commentsToday I read something about the band Sleeper reforming for a new album so thought I’d do a recap of their debut.
commentsThis record is the late 60’s crooning Scott Walker NOT the so-fucking-out-there, avant-garde-doesn’t-do-it-justice Scott Walker of a more recent era. That later day Scott Walker still claims top spot for the most profound Shut Up And Listen session ever experienced in nearly 2 decades!
commentsThe recent death of Mark Hollis at just 64 years of age was a big shock. His early songs from the first three Talk Talk records, while sounding clearly of their time in the mid-eighties, were the epitome of pop hook on continuous replay.
