Lonely The Brave - The Day's War: Victory Edition (2014)

Debut release from big boy Cambridge rockers. While it’s not …… hideous, it’s not something I’m likely to have on high rotation.

Steven Wilson - Home Invasion: In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall (2018)

I could rave for all eternity on the utter brilliance of todays Tidal release. I’m not going to coz you all know I’ve had this SW addiction for some time now and I’m probably preaching to the unconvertable.

Queen - A Night At The Opera [DVD] (1975)

There’s simply no denying that this record is a true masterpiece. I’m not a Queen fan by any means but this is without question one of the high points of the 70’s.

Wire - Red Barked Tree (2011)

A randomly chosen selection this evening. Despite being four decades since their highly revered, smack-you-around-the-head trio of utter brilliance, Mr Colin Newman and Co return with a very worthy stunner that harks back to their best.

Portishead - Third (2008)

I have only listened to this record 3 or 4 times. It is a truly unsettling experience and I do mean this is the most positive way.

Phil Collins - Both Sides (1993)

I’m far from being a musical snob, but I did try and hide Phil’s face as I discreetly slid the monstrous double vinyl cover across the counter before parting with my $19.

Imelda May - Life. Love. Flesh. Blood. (2017)

A very classy, post-break-up-with-hubby record produced by T Bone Burnett. There’s some real texture and reverby guitar added to proceedings that is in real contrast to her previous “clean” rockabilly recordings.

The Gentle Storm - The Diary (Gentle) (2015)

I knew absolutely nothing about this particular gatefold sleeved, double CD wedged amongst the boxes of unloved discs sitting under the big “clearance” sign.

Marlon Williams - Make Way For Love (2018)

A talent like this doesn’t come along very often - ahem, unless you come from the lower South Island. Nadia Reid, Aldous Hardling and Marlon Williams are part of the mother folking good South Island Kiwi’s pushing their esoteric but trending trendy, angst-ridden tunes around the globe.
