Various Artists - LateNightTales: Jon Hopkins (2015)
I love the “LateNightTales” and “Back To Mine” compilation series curated by many guest musicians, over many years. Last count, there’s about 50!

commentsAnother $2 random roulette choice from the big red shed. To be fair, this has some great and not-so-great moments. I think the good bits outweigh the less satisfying bits - so I’m not losing sleep over my impulsive purchase.
commentsEarly 70’s music doesn’t get much more inventive than this. A biggie record for me from undoubtedly the most fertile of musical eras.
commentsThe definitive antithesis of “Pop” music, these anti-establishment aural activists return 35 years after their last release with a snarling, menacing go fuck yourself monster.
commentsAn album of it’s time. But perhaps timeless? Allmusic.com - Review
commentsDouble vinyl recording of a live radio broadcast from Kansas City circa 1974. I was not feeling overly adventurous when I randomised this evening’s selection and grabbed this safely stashed away 2LP set.
commentsThese Nebraskins are clearly locked inside a mid-80’s time warp. There’s lots of electronic noodling, trance-like ridums and some ever so pleasingly analogue synths at play.
commentsA criminally underappreciated band that I simply couldn’t (perhaps can’t) get enough of. Peter Perrett’s fragile, vulnerable, between-keys voice is stunningly authentic and matched for uniqueness and virtuosity by John Perry’s amazing fret work.
commentsThe themes were: Round/circular, Heaven/hell, Circus, Bonus Track
commentsI’ll be honest, I’m really not sure if I like this or not? As I’ve always proclaimed I’m not really a lyrics man.
