I hummed and ha’d about getting this on vinyl and relented today when it finally made an appearance at TWH. I’m glad I did - it’s a fucking monster of a record that deserves the uncompressed, unrestrained bandwidth of analogue.

This record is just an embarrassment of riches. I really had forgotten just how brilliant this album is. Not a wasted note from start to finish and at over 70 minutes in length, that’s a big ask.

Never heard of The Vaccines until I picked this chunk of vinyl up from The Warehouse many moons ago for 10 bucks.

Stunning debut from the kings of goth! Opening with the incomparible “Double Dare”, which I first experienced as a 20 year old, it absolutely jolted me to the core!

One of the more uplifting RHP records. While it’s really just another Mark Kozelek solo project, it sounds like a proper band.

When you add the calibre of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois to proceedings you just know it’s special. This instrumental album, showcasing some very impressive processed guitar playing and harmonics, borrows from a myriad of influences.

The wonderful sound of new wave/no wave imploding! Bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Spiritualized and Bang Bang Machine (maybe not!

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.

I’m not sure why these dudes get compared to Sonic Youth? I’m a big fan of Thurston, Kim and the boys and really struggle with that concept.

Illness does funny things to your ears! Tonight is the first time I have felt like listening to any form of music in nearly 10 days.
