Never listen to this record. It will change your life. Quite extraordinary and unlike anything you have or will ever hear in you lifetime.

commentsTim Burgess & Bob Stanley Present Songs For A Late-Night Diner. This very quirky compilation “is a soundtrack for a mythical café in the mythical north” somewhere in England.
commentsThis record, the first in a trilogy of great Jane Weaver albums, is a real treat. The vocals are as ethereal and fabulous as the noodlely electronics and keyboard embellishments that cocoon each track.
commentsExcluding the Velvet Underground years, Transformer, Rock’n’roll Animal, Lou Reed Live, The Blue Mask, Legendary Hearts, Songs For Drella (with John Cale) and Magic And Loss were always my go to Lou Reed records.
commentsI heard reference to this wonderful record on Radio National today. The cover for Revolver was created by German-born bassist and artist Klaus Voormann , whose birthday it was today.
commentsThis record was released in 1970 and was named Rolling Stone’s album of the year ahead of Let It Be by The Beatles, Morrison Hotel by The Doors, After the Gold Rush by Neil Young, Moondance by Van Morrison, Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother and Led Zeppelin III.
commentsBefore my tastes became a little more eclectic and sophisticated, I was an Elton John obsessive. This holds some fantastic memories and remains a cracking good record.
commentsFloating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra A record (in this case an album streaming from Tidal) that demands nothing.
commentsThe themes were: Something fine, finessed, fragile or sofisticated, Something foreign, far-fetched, far out or unfamiliar, Something flamboyant, flashy, flaunting or florid
commentsSome of this reminds me a bit of Herbie Hancock and the robotic dancing legs of “Rockit. There’s some serious funky jazz going on here.
