Jakob - Solace (2006)

I’m just reading a great, totally self-depreciating and honest book about Steven Wilson’s perceived failings as a rock star. Ok, it’s agreed, he’s no rock star but he’s a fantastic musician, producer, band leader (of several ensembles) and a complete music nerd.

Tame Impala - Lonerism (2012)

If this record wasn’t so awash with psychedelic goo, it could be a lost Beatles record. The prevalence of ultra-hooky pop hooks is ridiculous.

Diana Krall - Stepping Out [HiRes](1993)

I actually stepped into “Stepping Out” following a very informative YouTube clip offering a list of the best sounding CDs to listen to.

Nightmares On Wax - In A Space Outta Sight (2006)

Bulging to the brim full of bangers, this post-rave/downtempo collection requires little listening investment. The fact that it slaps you around the ears and envelopes you with warm syrupy beats and rhythms is enough.

Poliça - Give You The Ghost (2012)

This is music that simply stops me in my tracks. It’s not just a casual listen, it takes over every synapse and sinew.

Tame Impala - Innerspeaker (2010)

It’s time to get the Tame Impala back catalogue out. They play live on Saturday 15th at Spark Arena. It’s been a two and a half year wait for a gig originally scheduled for Thursday 16th April, 2020.

Fleetwood Mac - Mirage (1982)

I picked up a few soon-to-be-tossed-out CDs while in Hastings over the last few days. (My Brother was having a clean out.

Avantdale Bowling Club - Trees (2022)

I had my first listen to this hot-off-the-press album {OK, I streamed and downloaded it from off-shore servers somewhere in the ethers} from Taite Music Prize-winning hip hop / jazz project Avantdale Bowling Club.

Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam (1991)

I was NOT prepared for this! Even my watch protested about the noise of the first track - screaming out something ‘bout “…exceeding decibels…30 minutes…potential damage…” It wasn’t just the volume; it was the shear harshness of the assault.
