DavidThe themes were: _New! , A piece of music you played on New Years Eve (or would have wanted to play if you could choose the music being played), A piece of music that reflects one of your resolutions or goals for the new year _

DavidWhat a fantastic way to start the weekend! It’s sunny, I don’t have to go to work, and I have time to relax without any demands.

DavidThis astounding surround-sounding compilation is the cats pajamas for XTC completists. This mid-80’s recording found the Swindon band reinventing themselves while parodying the psychedelic 60’s and in the process bettering 95% of the bands of that time.

DavidThis greatest hits (volume one) is a non-stop riff fest - I’m not kidding. This record is unrelentless and all of the songs are super extended versions.

DavidThis truly remarkable mid-80’s release plays out like a Beatles record. Wall to wall “how can anybody write such amazing songs”.

DavidBeautiful, ethereal music for a busy old back-at-work Wednesday. Just the ticket when you want some escape into the recesses of your own head space.

DavidStunning new film of The Cure playing live in 2018. As well as being stunning visually, the Cures have never sounded better.
