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.

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.

Ryan Adams - Prisoner (2017)

I’ll be honest, I’m really not sure if I like this or not? As I’ve always proclaimed I’m not really a lyrics man.

Nitin Sawhney - Dystopian Dream (2015)

Nitin Sawhney’s first record, which I encountered at the end of last century, was a game changer for me. Jeff Beck covered the track “Nadia” from that album a year or two later and it was soon after this that I joined the “ Shut Up and Listen ” group on the strength of that one song.

Gaz Coombes - World's Strongest Man [Tidal] (2018)

This is another recently discovered gem of an album on my Tidal play list. Another great road album that made my journey back from Goblin Bay not long enough.

White Denim - Stiff (2016)

Throw a bit of Lizzy, Skynyrd and some James Brown in the mix and this is what you get. It’s a crazy mélange but these Texans really make it work.
