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.

NEU! - NEU! (1972)
While the Germans are responsible for the abomination that is the DIN connector they are also responsible for some of the most influential and amazing music on the planet.

Prefab Sprout - Jordon: The Comeback (1990)
This is in my top 10 records. This is not one of those records that was a right of passage or a sign post or fork in the road on my musical journey.

Echo Ohs - Wild Weeks (EP) (2019)
I heard “New Music with Grant Smithies” for 11th Oct 2019 via podcast this morning. One group particularly stood out for me.

David Bowie - Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980)
I lugged my big Bowie box #3 down stairs into the lounge this afternoon and played what is probably Bowie’s last great album recorded at the arse end of the 80’s.

Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Texas Flood (1983)
SRV’s first and best record. Boosted by a guest slot on Bowie’s “Lets Dance” and a free recording ticket courtesy of Jackson Browne, this debut just oozes raw talent and authentic blues.

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour (1982)
A glorious racket! They say there were several bands, including Pavement, that ripped off the Fall sound. That’s complete bollocks! Absolutely no one, now and then, sounds like The Fall.
