DavidA gorgeous mid-nineties dreamy shoegaze record of the highest order. For the unsuspecting, it can be an otherworldly swirl of guitar noise and way-down-in-the-mix vocals, but it’s never short of a spine tingling melody within that dirge.

DavidNewly acquired, this is Record B (now finally out on vinyl) of the wonderful series of early (1972-83) experimental German rock and electronic musik by Soul Jazz Records.

DavidDouglas R Hofstadter would have a field day with this one. Hofstadter’s Law states that “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

DavidIt’s quite apparent within a few seconds how sonically pleasing the old 12" singles and EPs are. Some of the best sounding LPs are now getting pressed over several sides of vinyl as 45rmp.

DavidI finally picked a vinyl copy of this mid-90’s trip hop (whatever?) classic today. If ever there was a record that was vinyl-worthy - it’s this one.

DavidYou know what! The Warehouse is really shite! Once upon a time, and not that long ago, I’d regularly come home with a bundle of bargains under my arm or in some cases, enough to fill my boot.

DavidAlong with Low, Pavement and Stereolab, the Tengos have been nothing but consistently great. This record is a wonderful blend of early Velvets and post-Daydream Nation Sonic Youth.

DavidThis is a great relic and snapshot of life in Thatcher’s England. “Inglan is a bitch, there’s no escaping it!” While it is politically and socially charged in places, (Mr Johnson could really getaway with singing about anything), the reggae/dub soundtrack in support of Linton’s wonderful prose is just fabulous!

DavidThis first (and unfortunately last) record by Silver Jews leader, David Berman, has made many a “best albums of 2019” list but to be honest, I never gave it a chance.
