DavidChicago two piece, Rebecca Gates, guitar and vocals, and Scott Plouf, on drums, make such a wonderful racket together. While it’s inherently a narrow soundstage, the chemistry and synchronicity between the duo is palpable.

DavidThis really was the “band” that shocked me out of any lethargy following the mid-70s/early-80s punk/post-punk correction. This is the epitome of no-wave.

DavidThe CD strikes back saga continues. I’m truly blown away by a few recent revelations that have now been fully implemented with spectacular results.

DavidBoo hoo hoo! The Zeppelin purists might just spit out their dummies when they hear this. This fabulous SACD has Venessa Fernandez and her amazing band, reinterpreting some juicy Led Zep tunes.

DavidI’m not sure why this album gets such a bad rap. Ok, it’s probably not The Massive at their peak of popularity but it certainly contains all of the elements that make it a sonically rich, refreshingly experimental and ultimately rewarding listen.

DavidOK there’s a bit of a back story to this. On my recent trip to Melbourne, I was adamant I was not going to contravene every carry-on cabin restriction, reinvent creative and discrete storage practices, or put my back out, smuggling hefty vinyl back to New Zealand.

DavidBlackfield - Recorded live at the Bowery Ballroom, NYC on 16th March 2007 OK, I’ve decamped all of my boxed up digital media and it’s living and breathing once more.

DavidI recently re-discovered this wonderful, satire heavy, musically rich, dignity intact record from a few decades back. Despite it’s parody of the almighty and sacred Led Zeppelin, it works so very, very well.

DavidHoly moly! This really came out the blue. While its clearly a side project of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, (and Sons Of Kemet’s Tom Skinner), it could really pass as an extraordinary new Radiohead record.

DavidOK, it’s been a good decade since Porcupine Tree shed their seemingly evergreen leaves and ceased to be. Steve Wilson, of course went from strong to stronger and his prolific output continued as a solo artist and wunderkid producer/remaster specialist.
