The Pop Group - Y (1979)

The antithesis of “pop” this is as abrasive and challenging as it gets. There’s no hiding. The dog is currently nestled under my legs somewhat disturbed by the dissonance.

Arthur Russell - The World Of… (2014)

This FANTASTIC remastered 2014 compilation on 3 great slabs of vinyl just sounds well…. FANTASTIC! These 11 tracks, all released as 12” remixes, were clearly made for the dance floors of the late 70’s, early 80’s, but really blur the links between Disco, Classical, Jazz and Dub.

I’m half way through Viv Albertine’s very candid 2014 book “Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys” She was brought into The Slits as the guitar player who had never actually played guitar.

Electronic - Electronic (Fact 290) (1991)

The Smiths and New Order. Two of the most influential bands of the 80’s. This masterpiece is the bastard offspring of Bernard Sumner and Jonny Marr, two key members of those respective stalwarts of British post punk.
