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.

Blonde Redhead - Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons (2000)

I was really pleased recently to find a re-pressed, USA made copy of this early Blonde Redhead record. This is definitely a band worthy of owning everything they did on vinyl.

Gary Human - Tubeway Army Replicas (1979)

Gazza has always been an outlier/outsider. Diagnosed with Asperger’s his imagination and creativity has actually got the better of him. He’s been more prolific than ever and his latest record “Intruder” is up there’s with his best.
