commentsNot only frightening, frighteningly good. This debut album from Scottish duo, Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, would not be something I’d recommend to ease your morning commute with.
commentsThe themes were: Sounds Of The City
commentsI’m not sure how this album got on my Tidal playlist or how I first heard about it, but what a blinder of a record!
commentsThis stonkingly great 6 Track, mini-album comes from the remnants of the incredible band Low. Led by Alan Sparhawk, and joined by his son Cyrus, this music could not be any further away from Low’s remarkable musical legacy.
commentsUniversally loved or loathed, this debut record should have kick-started the demise of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, no one was really listening.
commentsIt must be said, grand kids and audio equipment are not in any way compatible. Usually I have just my single black box, NAD C700 amp/streamer, Theophany speakers (woofers and tweeters - which are well protected by metal) and concealed sub, in the lounge.
commentsSometimes country music can be right up on top of my “this-genre-ain’t-for-me” list, along with some god awful Jazz. While this is most definitely a country album, it doesn’t even come close to making that list.
commentsBob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present English Weather. The autumnal sound of Britain at the turn of the 70’s, looking out through wet wind panes to a new decade with a mixture of melancholy and optimism to what might come next.
comments1998’s “The K&D Sessions” is a big 21 track, 2-hour plus, 6-LP behemoth of blissful bangers and downtempo/trip hop reworks of other artists material.
