The Associates - The Affectionate Punch (1980)
Very rowdy and abrasive (in small measures), exquisitely delicate and engaging (in bigger measures) and left field (completely). This is 1980 folks.

Sonic Youth - Evol (1986)
This album was probably the starting point for me when music shifted from an Anglo-centric template (The Smiths, The Cure, The Bunnymen) to a much richer and wider aural palate and gave me a greater appreciation of American bands.

Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)
Ok, let’s do this then! Sometimes it’s a process with Radiohead. Listening clinically, seeing what all the fuss is about and trying to makes some sense of it all.

Moby - Play (1999)
I can’t believe this is getting close to 2 decades old (give or take a couple of years). The perfect feel good, no-brainer record for a Friday night.

Pink Floyd - Meddle (1971)
I heard a great interview on my commute to work this morning - a 40 minute cycle ride completely zoned out courtesy of episode 755 of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast .

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs (1974)
On Vinyl (Remastered 2016) One of my favourite Bowie records - this REALLY takes me back. As a barely-teenager, I was really starting to get completely obsessed with the whole alien freak thing and happened to win this on a local radio promotion.

John Foxx - 21st Century: A Man, A Woman And A City (2016)
John Foxx has been making brilliantly retro, analogue music since he fronted the first incantation of Ultravox back in the late 70’s.

Santana - Greatest Hits Live At Montreux (2011)
On Blu-ray Five bucks! Well $4.98 really. While not a great fan of the last few decades, this great concert from 2011 covers much of his early catalogue with some more contemporary surprises thrown in.

Bernard Herrmann - Psycho - The Original Film Score (1960)
On Red Vinyl This is just scary!! From the moment the needle drops this thing is nerve wracking. There’s a real sense of dread.

Slint - Spiderland (1991)
It’s that time of the year to bring this beauty out. What a fucking bonkers week!! Earthquakes, storms, floods (all predicted by Brian Tamaki by the way) and the further indignity of work!
