DavidI 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.

DavidI procured three newly minted records on vinyl from The Big Red Shed yesterday afternoon, two Fat Freddy’s Drop records and this, Marvin Gaye’s masterpiece.

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

DavidI 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.

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

DavidThis 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.

DavidSunday 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?

DavidOne of my newly acquired possessions appropriated during a recent raid of “The Family Jewels”. Who could resist the Stereolabs on 6 sides of see through, clear vinyl?
