Japan - Quiet Life (1979)
This wasn’t the starting place for me, that was 1981’s “Tin Drum”, but retrospectively the hint of Japan’s sophistication emerges on this transitional record.

Japan - The Very Best Of (DVD) (2006)
It’s 40 years since Japan released their 1981 masterpiece “Tin Drum”. Along with Kraftwerk, Echo & The Bunnymen and Magazine, it was a watershed moment for me.

PJ Harvey - Stories From The City... Demos (2000)
I had a bit of a sneaky listen last night to the re-released, remastered proper version of “Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea”.

John Lennon - Gimmie Some Truth (2020)
I’ve never really been a John Lennon fan. The purchase of this record and subsequent listening experience came about purely by chance.

The Bug/Dis Fig - In Blue (2020)
While missing some of the confrontational intensity of “London Zoo” this brilliant slab of blue vinyl continues to shatter expectations on this very first listen.

Cabaret Voltaire - Shadow Of Fear (2020)
I LOVE this! While it’s really Richard H. Kirk’s baby now, Stephen Mallinder now long departed, this really truly sounds likes a new Cabs record.

Thievery Corporation - Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi (1997)
This is the perfect Friday night leave-your-brain-behind music fodder. It’s 22 years plus, and around the time of this record, since I gathered at The Gathering at Kanaan Downs in Golden Bay.

Ryley Walker & Kikagaku Moyo - Deep Fried Grandeur (2018)
Ryley Walker joins forces with Kikagaku Moyo to venture into (equally unpronounceable) Khruangbin’s blissed-out Asian psyche-blues territory. Recorded live at Le Guess Who?

Fazerdaze - Morningside (2017)
This LP was literally thrust into my hands the other day with the messaage “This will be right up your street”.
