Gang Of Four - Entertainment (1979)
An extraordinary and incendiary relic of the punk/post punk era. Musically and politically, this is such a grab bag of the best bits of the last five years of 70’s England.

Stereolab - Aluminum Tunes (Switched On Vol3) (1998)
On Tuesday 3rd March 2020, my latest musical obsession, Stereolab are playing at the San Franscisco Bath House in Wellington. As I may have alluded to previously, I’ve been gathering Stereolab’s entire back catalogue on magnificent triple, clear-vinyl reissues.

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure (1973)
I had a few turntable issues this evening which nearly derailed my listening pleasure. I eventually tracked it down to being an interconnect cable issue.

Jenny Lewis - On The Line (2019)
I would have bought this wonderful record just for the cover alone. It’s certainly a great (in stereo) representation of the pleasures within.

Zero 7 - Simple Things (2001)
I’ve been looking out for a vinyl version of this treasure for a while now. I happened to find it in Hamilton and this is probably the antithesis of that dump.

The Church - Starfish (1988)
The most consistent Aussie band of all time, these dudes just haven’t put a foot wrong during their 40 year career.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn (from 3-D The Catalogue) (2017)
Whenever I hear Autobahn, I place myself back in the family home in Hastings in 1974. That was a huge moment for me - the day Casey Kasem played the edited, radio friendly version of “Autobahn” on the American Top 40.

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels (2013)
I don’t give a tinker’s cuss what these dudes are on about but the sonics, bottom end, verbal riffage and discomfort on this record is second to none.
