Calexico - El Mirador (2022)

Great to have some new Calexico back on the turntable. Actually to be truthful, this is my first Calexico album on vinyl.

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Carnage (2021)

I’ve kept this one up my sleeve. With lots of time to kill during the last couple of years of unpleasantness, Mr Cave and Mr Ellis have fabricated one of the most extraordinary and records I’ve had the recent pleasure of listening to.

Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (2021)

This wonderful Hip Hop/R&B/Rap (whatever-you-call-it?) record from Islington born, British Ghanian, London lady, Simbiatu Ajikawo, was way up there on all of the “best of” 2021 lists.

The Nightingales - Pigs On Purpose (1982)

I knew absolutely nothing about this band other than they were completely underappreciated and are now worthy of re-evaluation. Well that’s what the hype sticker on the cover says.

The Body Electric - Presentation And Reality (RSD) (1983)

I managed to pick up one of only 200 copies of this, the Record Store Day release version, on beautiful yellow and blue vinyl.

Boards Of Canada - Twoism (1995)

BOCs first ever recording (limited to just 100 copies), was this generous 38 minute mini-album. Always extremely difficult to find, it was finally repressed by Warp records in 2013 to appease the masses.

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute (2005)

This second long recording from The Mars Volta takes things even further, if that’s at all possible, into more unchartered territory.

The Dream Syndicate - Days Of Wine And Roses (1982)

How on earth did this astounding record slip past me. In all honesty this early 80’s classic is one of the biggest sonic surprises I’ve ever experienced.

Band Of Horses - Things Are Great (2022)

This is a fantastic return to top form. This is a band that just keeps being themselves. Considering that it’s been 6 years since their last album, 2016’s “Why Are You OK?

Broadcast - Mother In The Milky Way (2022)

This 2009 EP was only ever available during the tour of that year. To say it’s unconventional would be under selling it to say the least.
