Jack River - Sugar Mountain (2018)

Another cracking good record from our neighbours across the ditch. I didn’t know what to expect when I first put this on.

Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior (1975)

I finally got this big MF of an album on vinyl! This is one of those watershed records, along with Jeff Beck’s “Wired” and Santana’s “Caravanserai/Moonflower”, that helped to define and steer my musical encounters for the next couple of decades.

Deep Sea Arcade - Outlands (2012)

Debut album from Sydney’s Deep Sea Arcade. 12 impeccable tracks over 38 minutes makes for another quick fix of Aussie Pop-Rock.

Hatchie - Keepsake (2019)

I was (and still am) a big fan of the dirgy, ethereal, dreamy sounds of mid-eighties Cocteau Twins, Lush, Ride and the collective sounds of This Mortal Coil.

Cloud Control - Bliss Release (2010)

While the Aussies continue to under-perform in the sporting arena, those playing for the psychedelic dream pop team are scoring a lot of points on the ear candy ledger.

Martins's Session - Jul 19

The themes was: Three tracks showcasing the human voice - with the usual encouragement to creatively interpret, misinterpret, cause offence, push the envelope, overstep boundaries and cross lines in the sand.

Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements (1993)

On pristine clear vinyl Another big slab of early Stereolab. Unrefined and noisy, it’s a fantastic and very unsettling journey.

Low - Drums And Guns (2007)

This record just shouldn’t work. News Flash: Low, the protagonists of slowcore, embrace abrasive percussive elements and discordant organ textures. What it does uphold though, is the wonderful solo and harmonised voices of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker.

Hot Chip - A Bath Full Of Ecstasy [Tidal] (2019)

Sunday afternoon is not a time to get the heavies out. Something soft and bouncy is called for. Hot Chip is a London band reportedly on the fringes of dance music and whatever the fuck “alternative” music is?
