Rick Wakeman - ... King Arthur ... (1975)
Full title - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table What the holy fuck was I listening to back in the early 70’s?

Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Surfer's Choice (1962)
16th March 2019 - RIP Dick Dale. Richard Anthony Monsour, born in Massachusetts in 1937, was revered as one of the most influencial guitar players and as a bonus, the God Daddy of surf music.

Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (1995)
While it’s a blatant Pink Floyd ripoff - it’s a fucking good one. Recorded in the early 90’s, this was made during Mr.

Doves - The Last Broadcast (2002)
It’s hard to believe that the Doves first record, the wonderful “Lost Souls” with that astounding lead-in track “Firesuite”, was made in 2000.

Chris's Session - Mar 19
The themes were: An oldie but a goodie: A tune chosen by your better half , A tune that prominently features an ukulele (Tiny Tim and Hawaiian music have had their turns, step aside)., A tune that prominently features a string orchestra (Neil Sedaka or Rossini not welcome today).

Matt Berry - Opium (2008)
Most people just wouldn’t get this and I wouldn’t want them to. Matt Berry, who is due to be one of the stars of the new “What We Do In The Shadows” TV series, is a acting, comedy and musical genius.

Mercury Rev - All Is Dream (2001)
Nothing short of profound, this turn-of-the-new-millennium record, with ostentatious string arrangements by Tony Visconti, is a beautiful mess. I’d never be one to recommend Mercury Rev’s singular vision and introspective execution as a “must have” for any one’s music collection.

Sleeper - Smart (1995)
Today I read something about the band Sleeper reforming for a new album so thought I’d do a recap of their debut.

Scott Walker - Scott 4 (1969)
This record is the late 60’s crooning Scott Walker NOT the so-fucking-out-there, avant-garde-doesn’t-do-it-justice Scott Walker of a more recent era. That later day Scott Walker still claims top spot for the most profound Shut Up And Listen session ever experienced in nearly 2 decades!

Talk Talk - Natural History (DVD)(2007)
The recent death of Mark Hollis at just 64 years of age was a big shock. His early songs from the first three Talk Talk records, while sounding clearly of their time in the mid-eighties, were the epitome of pop hook on continuous replay.
