DavidI’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.

DavidIf 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.

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

DavidBulging 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.

DavidIt’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.

DavidI 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.

DavidI 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.

DavidI 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.

DavidAnimals has always been my favourite Pink Floyd record so I’m in two minds about people messing with it. While I do revere the original, I must admit, this 24-bit high resolution remix is significantly subtle is bringing everything to the fore.
