Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown (1983)

This really was the “band” that shocked me out of any lethargy following the mid-70s/early-80s punk/post-punk correction. This is the epitome of no-wave.

Enigma - MCMXC A.D. (1990)

The CD strikes back saga continues. I’m truly blown away by a few recent revelations that have now been fully implemented with spectacular results.

Venessa Fernandez - When The Levee Breaks (2016)

Boo hoo hoo! The Zeppelin purists might just spit out their dummies when they hear this. This fabulous SACD has Venessa Fernandez and her amazing band, reinterpreting some juicy Led Zep tunes.

Massive Attack - Heligoland (2010)

I’m not sure why this album gets such a bad rap. Ok, it’s probably not The Massive at their peak of popularity but it certainly contains all of the elements that make it a sonically rich, refreshingly experimental and ultimately rewarding listen.

Venessa Fernandez - Use Me [SACD](2014)

OK there’s a bit of a back story to this. On my recent trip to Melbourne, I was adamant I was not going to contravene every carry-on cabin restriction, reinvent creative and discrete storage practices, or put my back out, smuggling hefty vinyl back to New Zealand.
