Ween - Chocolate And Cheese (1994)
“The Pod” and especially “Pure Guava” was my (and fellow SUAL’er Martin’s) introduction to the absurd but incredibly inventive and musically proficient Ween.

Various Artists - LateNightTales: Jon Hopkins (2015)
I love the “LateNightTales” and “Back To Mine” compilation series curated by many guest musicians, over many years. Last count, there’s about 50!

Chiodos - Devil (2014)
Another $2 random roulette choice from the big red shed. To be fair, this has some great and not-so-great moments. I think the good bits outweigh the less satisfying bits - so I’m not losing sleep over my impulsive purchase.

Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties (1974)
Early 70’s music doesn’t get much more inventive than this. A biggie record for me from undoubtedly the most fertile of musical eras.

The Pop Group - Citizen Zombie (2015)
The definitive antithesis of “Pop” music, these anti-establishment aural activists return 35 years after their last release with a snarling, menacing go fuck yourself monster.

Yes - Close To The Edge (5.1 DTS Blu-Ray) (1972)
An album of it’s time. But perhaps timeless? Allmusic.com - Review

Captain Beefheart - Full Moon In Cowtown (1974)
Double vinyl recording of a live radio broadcast from Kansas City circa 1974. I was not feeling overly adventurous when I randomised this evening’s selection and grabbed this safely stashed away 2LP set.

Icky Blossoms - Mask (2015)
These Nebraskins are clearly locked inside a mid-80’s time warp. There’s lots of electronic noodling, trance-like ridums and some ever so pleasingly analogue synths at play.

The Only Ones - Baby's Got A Gun (1980)
A criminally underappreciated band that I simply couldn’t (perhaps can’t) get enough of. Peter Perrett’s fragile, vulnerable, between-keys voice is stunningly authentic and matched for uniqueness and virtuosity by John Perry’s amazing fret work.
