A jazz trio covers an Aphex Twin song.

The drummer accurately nails the complex electronic beat from the song on a drum kit. The Bad Plus playing “Flim” at the New Morning in Paris on October 5, 2010.

Martin's Session - Nov 23

We quaffed mead (does it still count as quaffing if you only have a thimble full?) and explored unfamiliar territories: funk, rap and prog.

We learned that not everyone listens to different types of music on different days of the week, that 2 members down and an earlier start means we all go home early, and that Daryl Hall wears sunglasses when inside and always looks super-pleased with himself

Fishmans - Long Season [Tidal & YouTube] (1996)

This amazing recording has been haunting my dreams lately (as well as causing a few offline listening nightmares on my iPhone with the finiky Tidal app) The 34 minute, single track is like nothing you have ever heard, and if you have the patience, has one of the most haunting melodies ever to hit your ears.

Princess Chelsea - Lil's Golden Book (2011)

At this time of year who wants to overthink the previous 12 months? For most of us it’s been a proper, global annus horribilis.

Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise (2011)

This is an exquisite, sumptuous recent discovery courtesy of the wonderful Youtube hosted by Michael the German. Michael, who is a truly engaging German man with the most incredible vinyl collection, regularly shares his insights into the best, and often but not always, audiophile vinyl pressings.

The Sound - Shock Of Daylight/Head And Hearts (1985)

Another fantastic record from the world’s most forgotten band. Criminally ignored but now highly revered. A new documentary, Youtube , about Adrian Borland, the enigmatic but ultimately tragic leader of The Sound, is about to be released.

Love And Rockets - Sweet FA (1996)

When I hear Daniel Ash play his guitar, it always reminds me of Mick Ronson without The Thin White Duke chewing on his guitar strings.

Kraftwerk - Techno Pop (AKA Electric Cafe) (1986)

While not held in the same regard as an “Autobahn” or “The Man Machine”, this mid-80’s effort remains one of my favourite Kraftwerk records.

Eminem - The Eminem Show (2002)

I randomised my selection this evening. After causing a recent furore over his rather public disdain for Trump, it’s possibly a good time to revisit.

Xymox - Clan Of Xymox (1985)

One of my most favourite recordings from the mid-80s, this Dutch group made all the right noises. It was electronic, it was goth, it was moody.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Lovely Creatures (2017)

Grinderman at the Coronet, Elephant And Castle, London on October 2nd 2010 was undoubtedly the loudest and most organ eviscerating gig I’ve ever experienced.
