DavidThis particular record obviously didn’t mean anything to me as a 7 year old when this was released in 1967, but five or 6 years later I definitely remember hearing Hendrix on a big set of headphones at my local church youth club.

DavidThis record, along with their earlier “Very ‘Eavy Very ‘Umble”, Tull’s “Aqualung” and the incomparable and never bettered, The Who’s “Live At Leeds” were HUGE for me as a shy, day dreaming, on-another-planet 12 year old.

DavidHow the shitting hell did I miss this one?? I’ve been a devoted (pardon the pun) Depeche Mode fan since 1997’s “Violator” and have worked backwards as well as including all subsequent releases to ensure I get my full fix.

DavidI actually bought this record on the strength of the worlds greatest biologist and non-theist mischief-maker being mentioned on the album cover.

DavidI rolled a random “R” this evening and immediately reached for “Riverside”. They are without doubt, Poland’s best progressive metal band.

DavidIt’s astounding to realise that this gem was made more than 20 years ago! Played for the first time in it’s entirety in at least a decade, I am reminded of just how good it is.

DavidEvery so often I catch the bus (reluctantly) to Richmond. (This endlessly sprawling and souless “location” where I just happen to work, would never be on any of my “favourite-places-to-be” list.

DavidOK, I won’t piss around. This is one of the most pretentious, grandiose and utterly brilliant albums in my entire collection.

DavidIt’s a hard job staying relevant in the music world when what is deemed “the best years” are close to 25 years ago.
