UT - Conviction [Tidal] (1986)

I’ve made a pact with myself to listen to a brand new new release or brand new old album (or whatever you call a collection of songs by a single artist or curator these days?

Public Image Limited - Second Edition (aka Metal Box) (1980)

This, PiL’s 2nd outing, is equal parts atrocious and astounding. It’s also possibly one of the most challenging and divisive records in my entire collection.

Love - Forever Changes (1967)

While I’ve heard the odd song from the album over the years, I have never listened to this record in it’s entirety.

Lo-Fidelity Allstars - How To Operate With A Blown Mind (1998)

There’s a scene in the Sopranos, I don’t know what season, yet alone what episode, but someone gets whacked around the head with a telephone at the “Badda Bing” club.

Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994)

Cabaret Voltaire sounded like a precursor to the Underworld sound way back in the late 70’s, early 80’s. While not nearly as accessible they were the original conventional noise assassins.

Midlake - The Trials Of Van Occupanther (2006)

My first ever encounter with Midlake was this, their second record. OK, I’m not a proud man but America’s “Homecoming”, which is way up near the top of my “guilty pleasures” list, springs to mind.

Kanye West - Yeezus (2013)

There’s just no “in between” with this guy - you either love him or loath him and most people will judge him based on his public persona.

The Young Gods - X X Years (2005)

It’s Friday night - it’s sonics over substance tonight. These Swiss electro-noise terrorists totally anilate all the rule books and smash you around the head with some of the heftiest beats and riffs imaginable.

Sparklehorse - Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain (2006)

It’s very difficult to try and say anything about the genius of Mark Linkous. Talking about or trying to explain his music is mostly futile.

Cherry Glazerr - Stuffed & Ready [Tidal] (2019)

My favourite record so far this year would have to be this noisy little gem from Clementine Creevy’s LA collective. 10 tracks of pure, mid-90s grungy angst.
