Matt Berry - Phantom Birds (2020)

I must admit, I was expecting a bit more of a sideways move from Mr. Berry. (He of “Frost Of London”, “The Mighty Boosch” and the US version of “What We Do In The Shadows”).

Slowdive - Souvlaki (1993)

A gorgeous mid-nineties dreamy shoegaze record of the highest order. For the unsuspecting, it can be an otherworldly swirl of guitar noise and way-down-in-the-mix vocals, but it’s never short of a spine tingling melody within that dirge.

The Microphones In 2020 (2020)

Douglas R Hofstadter would have a field day with this one. Hofstadter’s Law states that “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

Blonde Redhead/The Body Electric - A couple of EPs

It’s quite apparent within a few seconds how sonically pleasing the old 12" singles and EPs are. Some of the best sounding LPs are now getting pressed over several sides of vinyl as 45rmp.

Tricky - Maxinquaye (1995)

I finally picked a vinyl copy of this mid-90’s trip hop (whatever?) classic today. If ever there was a record that was vinyl-worthy - it’s this one.

Black Sabbath - The Ultimate Collection (2016)

You know what! The Warehouse is really shite! Once upon a time, and not that long ago, I’d regularly come home with a bundle of bargains under my arm or in some cases, enough to fill my boot.

Yo La Tengo - Electr-O-Pura (1995)

Along with Low, Pavement and Stereolab, the Tengos have been nothing but consistently great. This record is a wonderful blend of early Velvets and post-Daydream Nation Sonic Youth.

Linton Kwesi Johnson - Bass Culture (1980)

This is a great relic and snapshot of life in Thatcher’s England. “Inglan is a bitch, there’s no escaping it!” While it is politically and socially charged in places, (Mr Johnson could really getaway with singing about anything), the reggae/dub soundtrack in support of Linton’s wonderful prose is just fabulous!
