Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg (2020)

Fabulous debut record from South London’s Dry Cleaning. It’s the first time heard tonight, on recommendation from Mr. Smithies. It’s an immediate slam dunk.

Sault - Nine (2021)

Another remarkable, genre non-specific, masterwork from the mysterious UK collective that is Sault. After 99 days following it’s release (June 2021) this record has already been pulled from streaming services completely and will never see a re-pressing.

La Luz - Floating Features (2018)

Take a bit of Dick Dale, a good chunk of Stereolab and a smidgeon of Nana Mouskouri, shake it all up, remove the men folk, and you have the sensational lady group La Luz.

Scribe - The Crusader (2004)

This record (especially the track “Not Many”) was a bit of a soundtrack for my teenagers. It also resonated strongly with me at the time.

Super Furry Animals - Rings Around The World (2001)

My full and ongoing membership of “Shut Up And Listen” depended on the success of my audition and my overly strategic song management.

Santana - Caravanserai [Hi-Res Audio] (1972)

I remember hearing this for the first time, as a young nursing student, at a friend’s place in Levin. He was a practitioner of Bahai Faith.

Slowdive - Pygmalion (1995)

This beautiful album follows the magnificent “Souvlaki”, a record that Brian Eno provided keyboards and treatments. While the Eno ambience wasn’t obvious on that, it’s right to the fore on this.

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand (2007)

It’s really hard to believe that this wonderful record was made the year I started working in my current (and hopefully last) job.

Various Artists - Hot Rock (1972)

It’s time to get my boys out again. This compilation from the early 70’s is probably one of my holy grails as far as musical discovery goes.
