Kraftwerk - The Man Machine (1978)
This record feels totally apt for these times. Bland, mechanical and repetitious. In the case of Kraftwerk - being robotic works very well.

David Bowie - Outside (1995)
I’m actively re-assessing Bowie’s records since 1980’s “Scary Monsters”. I have openly stated my apparent unwillingness to accept there was still genius lurking past “Ashes To Ashes” This isn’t Covid-19 related cabin fever talking either, it’s a genuine regret that I’ve followed the sway of the critics rather than making up my own mind.

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight (1979)
This is for me the best record of the late 70’s early 80’s. I know that’s quite a big call but time and time again it continues to befuddle, bemuse and bewitch me.

The Sonic Dawn - Eclipse (2019)
This is a lovely, hazy trip back to the late 60’s American West Coast except this band hails from 21st Century Denmark.

Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out (2002)
Yo La Tengo is not a band you play often. When you do, it’s an absolute revelation! No two listens are the same.

Massive Attack - Protection (1994)
While it’s hard to argue that this, their second record, is made of the same greatness that came before on “Blue Lines”, it just fails to rip my nightie this evening.

Jonathan Hultén - Chants From Another Place (2020)
This has been my soundtrack to everything of late. No, you won’t have heard of Jonathan Hultén but you really should as this record is simply extraordinary!

The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come (1987)
I don’t often bring out old misery guts but given the bleakness of the situation nothing seems more apt. For me The Smiths still rank up there as one of the best bands of the 80’s.

Microdisney - Daunt Square To Elsewhere: Anthrology 1982-88 (2007)
Bought this on a whim a while back. I had never listened to Microdisney prior to purchasing this, I’d just read glowing references.

Unbelievable Truth - Almost Here (1998)
I’ve been sorting out my home office today as 25% of the population is probably doing. (To be honest, I’ve been busy helping others get sorted and really forgot about myself until today).
