Goldie - Timeless (1995)

After last night’s fabulous, Afro-centric jazz monster, something equally rich and musical is called for. This drum’n’bass classic from England’s then king of Jungle, has moments of bliss.

Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela - Rejoice (2020)

Now I remember why I still love vinyl! This remarkable recording featuring two African greats, drummer Tony Allen, and trumpet player Hugh Masekela, shouldn’t exist in any other format.

Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (2001)

A very sad day today with the passing of Mimi Parker. I was totally taken by surprise and devastated to hear of her losing her battle with Ovarian Cancer at just 55.

Various Artists - A Screaming Masterpiece [DVD]

This is without any doubt at all, one of my favourite music documentaries of all time. This feature length doco highlights the magesty and splendor of Icelandic music.

Laura Jean - Amateurs (2022)

In my persute of “making do” with what I’ve already got, I’ve even gone back to wired headphones via a little DragonFly DAC.

Various Artist - Jools Holland "Legends" [DVD]

I felt like some audio visual stimulation this evening. Part of my revelatory musical-medium rebirth, has me trawling through a rather splendid collection of multi-genre, multi-era musical collectives and individuals.

The Pineapple Thief - Give It Back [BD-Audio](2022)

Gavin Harrison is probably the world’s best unknown drummer. He’s played bongos on many sessions for other musicians, but probably is best known (in the right circles) for his stick work with Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief and the mighty King Crimson.

Pavement - Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal (1999)

The only full-priced CD I bought during my sojourn to Auckland was this Pavement 2022 Redux. As a completist, this sits very nicely on my CD shelf along with the other 4 remastered/extended editions.

Fazerdaze - Break! (2022)

I tried; I really did. I had a few things to listen to this afternoon, nothing I physically owned thank goodness, but I quickly became underwhelmed and even irritated with stuff passing as entertainment.

The Shins - Oh Inverted World (2001)

I’m a new convert to James Mercer’s witty, whimsical stories and quirky, off-centre soundtracks. My first real taste of The Shins was a different kettle of fish entirely.
