Jethro Tull - A (1980)

Another stonking Tull release that got panned at the time. A first time listen for me but a rockier effort following their folk period “Songs From The Wood”, “Heavy Horses” and “Storm Watch”.

Moby - Reprise (2021)

Another beautiful double album picked up over Queens Birthday weekend. This features orchestral treatments of Moby songs (there’s also a lovely reinterpretation of one of my least favorite Bowie songs “Heroes” which I can fully tolerate and appreciate one this).

Gary Numan - Intruder (2021)

Gazza just goes from strength to strength. Honestly, I kind of reluctantly bought this new record thinking it’s going to be somewhat disappointing after his astonishing 2017 release “Savage”.

Genesis - Wind And Wuthering (1976)

Two albums after Peter Gabriel left and the last record to feature guitarist Steve Hackett. To these ears, this is the last great classic(al) Genesis record.

Death Cab For Cutie - Codes And Keys (2021)

Great random choice this evening as I let my music database choose my music for me. I always warm to a bit of Death Cab for Cutie.

Jethro Tull - War Child (1974)

This is a Tull record that was never “in the circle” of their great predecessors - namely “Aqualung”, “Thick As A Brick” and “A Passion Play”, and I missed it completely.

Black Midi - Cavalcade (2021)

Squid, Black Country New Road and this band, Black Midi are all great contemporary British bands flying the flag for jazzy, spacey, progressive math rock.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)

This is even more brittle and unearthly than last night’s delve into the (other)world of My Bloody Valentine. There really isn’t any other music to compare it to.

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything (1988)

As well as this record being unlike anything before or after it, it’s one of the quietest “loud” records you will ever hear.

Les Baxters - Les Baxters (2021)

This is the soundtrack to a horror film that doesn’t exist. Thank God it doesn’t - it would be the scariest thing you ever saw.
