Spiritualized - Amazing Grace (2003)

The wall of sound on a Spiritualized record is always a bit disconcerting at first but it’s the silence within all of that murk that captures your ears.

Darkside - Psychic Live (2015)

Insanely good live performance of Darkside’s brilliant 2013 album “Psychic”, a mind warping, non-genre specific monster of a record. Watching this reminds me of the time that I walked into one my all time, smily face moments of pure musical bliss - Unkle playing live in the “Boiler Room” at The Big Day Out.

David Axelrod - Songs Of Innocence (1968)

Another taste of the Axelrod. Where has this been all of my life??

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000 (2021)

Prolific as ever, this is the Gizzard’s 18th record. This is just the sweetest, most blissed out sound I’ve heard all year.

The Cocteau Twins - Stars And Topsoil (2000)

Picked this fine compilaton up from my second favourite Melbourne record shop, Rocksteady Records in Lonsdale St, CBD. Just $33 Aussie dollars for a 2 LP white vinyl record is exceptional value.

David Axelrod - Songs Of Experience (1969)

A wonderful new discovery for me, often mentioned fleetingly in the distant past by mega-fan Nathan Ford, I’d never delved into this rabbit hole until now.

The Strokes - The New Abnormal (2020)

My Melbournian pal, Maurice, who I caught up with in person recently, has been raving about this record ad nauseam. To tone down his incessant admiration somewhat, I thought I’d better buy it on CD.

Peter Perrett - How The West Was Won (2017)

This is the ultimate fairy tale album. Peter Perret is probably lucky to be still on the planet yet alone in absolutely top form on this recording.

Lou Reed - Live In Italy (1984)

Another fantastic find in Melbourne was arguably Lou Reed’s best ever (official) live record “Live In Italy” which was recorded in 1983.

Suicide - Cheree (Record Store Day) (2021)

I was thrilled to get a copy of this very limited Record Store Day release on 10" clear vinyl. It took Alan Vega and Martin Rev, the core of Suicide, more than 30 years to get the recognition they deserved.
