Various Artists - Disco Not Disco (2000)

Leftfield disco classics from the New York Underground. This is another superb compilation of New York weirdness of the late 70’s to mid 80’s.

Ebo Taylor - Life Stories (2011)

I’ve had Afro-beat rhythms going on in my head all day since listening to this wee gem this morning. This record covers the period from 1973 to 1980.

David Sylvian - Dead Bees On A Cake (1999)

Succulent and syrupy, that’s Mr. Sylvian. This is a recently updated double vinyl version of his late 90s record which I picked up for $29 on sale at JB-Hifi.

Grouplove - Healer (2020)

Sometimes you just need a bit of cheerful, happy clappy positivity in your life. Things are all a bit grim at the moment.

Lambchop - Awcomon (2004)

Put on as background music this afternoon while tidying the cave, I was also trying to convince myself that when compared with vinyl, CDs sound like shit.

Various Artists - Kiwi Animals: Future Primitive Aoteoroa 82-91 (2020)

I was prepared to get very uncomfortable with this brand new compilation of “forgotten New Zealand electronic and avante music of the 1980s” released in late May this year.

Cranes - Forever (1993)

One of the finds of my recent trip to Wellington was this amazing record. Very tastefully remastered, individually numbered and pressed on gold and black vinyl, it is physically, visually and sonically a thing of great beauty.

Kristin Hersh - Crooked (2010)

I could listen to Kristin Hersh play the bongos while reciting “The Lord’s Prayer”. It would still be mesmerising. To me, she has one of the best and most distinctive voices of all the rock ‘n’ roll women.

Poliça - When We Stay Alive (2020)

Poliça are a really difficult band* to try and explain or categorise. (* Poliça is really just singer/songwriter Channy Leaneagh and producer Ryan Olson from the larger and just as uncategorisable collective Gayngs).

Booker T. & The M.G.s - Green Onions (1962)

To test my new computer/USB DAC/amplifier rig, I decided to play a high resolution computer audio file this evening. (A 24 bit/192kbps FLAC file to be precise).
