DavidThe Avalanches “Since I Left You” from 2000 and DJ Shadow’s “Endtroducing” from 1996 are two astounding records produced exclusively from other peoples vocal and musical samples.

DavidI can’t imagine Trump knowing what music is yet alone having a favourites playlist. If for some reason he did have a slither of musical cognisance the soundtrack of his life over over the last 5 years would be “Send Out The Clowns” on continuous play.

David7 years to the day, I played this CD. According to my notes “it was a real surprise”. Unsurprisingly, they remain even more surprising.

DavidAndrew Spraggon was once a solo knob twiddler. He was also once a touring member of Dimmer (as revealed on a recent RNZ Music 101 podcast) He’s now the ultimate collaborator.

DavidBob is very angry! Hunkered down in his bunker while America burns and Trump tries to chip his way out, Bob creates some of the most vitriolic, heart-on-his-sleeve commentary he’s ever recorded.

DavidI’m definitely in no hurry to get rid of my CDs. They still have plenty of life in them yet. If you have a half decent player they can still sound extraordinary.

DavidThis record is made for live performance. It’s wall to wall fuzzy guitar and singin’ sheilas. What’s not to like?
