DavidI didn’t quite get this record on first listen but subsequently it’s now a thing of great beauty. This is despite sounding like it’s been taped directly off a transitor radio.

DavidThis morning I discovered a wonderful new podcast for the proper music nerd. It’s called “ The Album Years ” and is presented by one of my familiars - Steven Wilson and his close buddy Tim Bowness.

DavidI can just about tolerate going grocery shopping at Fresh Choice supermarket when they play some classy tunes over the PA system.

DavidAnother impulse buy from “Family Jewels”. I mainly bought this for the beautiful crystal clear coloured splattered vinyl but as a secondary bonus the music is a complete breath of fresh air.

DavidI’ve always wanted to re-get this on vinyl (I gave my first LP away in the early 2000s) and was seething with jealousy when fellow shut up and listener, brother Ricardo showed me his big blue.

DavidAside from a resurgence of vinyl in my world, I’m tending more and more towards playing music via a streaming service or off ripped files on network attached storage devices.

DavidSince coming out of lockdown, I’ve decided to take a few punts and purchase a bit of vinyl from my local “Family Jewels” record shop on the strength of reputation and Smithies recommendations.

DavidThis is another one of my big influential records I listened to as a bored, shy and self-absorbed 12 year old at my uncle’s house in Palmerston North.

DavidOK I concede. The only thing better than Porcupine Tree’s Deadwing on vinyl is Porcupine Tree’s Deadwing on Hi-Res DVD-Audio. Renown for his production and high resolution recordings, Steven Wilson does not hold back on this beauty.
