Mew - +- (2015)
You always know what you are getting with Mew. More beautiful, rich and melodious anthems that soar with multilayer voice(s) to the fore.

Psychic TV - Fishscales Falling: A Smorgasbord Of Delights (2016)
Heard this beast of a record while shopping at Rough Trade. I was fully engaged with it playing throughout the store.

Field Music - Plumb (2012)
This is one busy record. Always up there on my “should not be obscure” list, Field Music deliver truly dynamic, tempo changing, complicated but catchy pop music.

Various Artists - Califia: The Songs Of Lee Hazlewood (2010)
Brilliant compilation of obscure (mostly) 50’s and 60’s artists recording Hazlewood songs. Just as the title implies. Like all things “Hazlewood” there’s a real coolness factor and a wealth of hit’s and misses.

Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase (2015)
The night before going to see this genius live in concert in Auckland, I thought I better give this another run through.

Tortoise - The Catastrophist (2016)
Don’t let the cover put you off! It’s pretty hideous but I suppose it does lend itself to the awkwardness of some of the music.

John Foxx - Metamatic (1980)
In 1977, as a bare assed teenager - Ultravox changed my life. This was the great John Foxx years and those first three records changed my musical roadmap.

Matt Berry - The Small Hours (2016)
More minor key madness from Mr. Toast. OK, it’s the same song played 57 slightly different ways over 5 albums but I just love this guy.

Elton John - Rock Of The Westies (1975)
One of my guilty pleasures is still liking some early Elton John records. While this is possibly my favourite Elton John record, for numerous and quite frankly unexplainable reasons, this is definitely the end of the line as far as my E.

Darkside - Psychic (2013)
This is a strange one. I love it but couldn’t for a minute recommend it to anyone without some big disclaimers.
