The Only Ones - Baby's Got A Gun (1980)

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.

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.

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us (2005)

I didn’t see this coming at all. On first encounter this was totally unexpected. For some reason I had previously assumed M83 was some lo-fi, punky angst band from France and had always thought their acclaimed album “Dead Cities, Red Seas…” was some sort of Green Day/angry band revamp.

I spilt my coffee all over my desk at work and into my back pack this black Friday morning. Coincidence, not really - shit happens sometimes and I was a fuck wit for being so careless.
