DavidThis record was a complete impulse buy whilst trawling the JB-Hifi bins in Wellington. I heard mention of Torres via the “Sound Opinions” podcast a while back where she was highly revered by Greg Kot.

DavidWowee, we’ve got a right one here! It’s the perfect way to see in the new year. Bereft of any English, this collaboration with South African artist Muzi, is mostly sung in Welsh, with a bit of Zulu thrown in.

DavidGone are the days of trucking over to Wellington and coming back over-endowed with swags of shiny new CDs and DVDs.

DavidHoly Mother this is intense! While on the far left side of the heavy spectrum musically, it’s but a whisper, it still jolts you to the core.

DavidThere’s no shortage of Who compilations. For me, this is the big, vinyl-worth one. 21 brilliant tracks covering 50 years, this is the ultimate showcase of their greatest, radio-friendly hits.

DavidReleased just a few months ago, this debut record by LA trio “Automatic”, is possibly my find of the year. On non-stop rotation for the last couple of days it’s wormed it’s way into my brain.

DavidIt’s funky time. This new record maintains the high standard of previous releases. There’s no real surprises just straightforward reggae infused R’n’B and dub.

DavidI’m not a proud man. How could I resist this 2016, 40th Anniversary Legacy vinyl picture disc for just $22! I’ve never really bought into the whole picture disc thing but in this case it convinced me enough to buy this record.

DavidThis record is like your very own private audience with Bill Callaghan. The songs are intimate and slightly discomforting, but it’s always very, very engaging.

DavidIs this the perfect pop record? A faultless masterpiece from Swindon’s finest. Aside from the Beatles, I cannot think of another consistently brilliant band.
