Bohren & Der Club Of Gore – Patchouli Blue - the perfect music to be playing at 1am on a Wed. dark, moody, jazzy, atmospheric and depressingly uplifting.
The Wolfgang Press – Bird Wood Cage - original 1988 4AD UK release - pressed @ MPO, produced by Flood. all these years later still sounds amazingly fresh and inventive.
Blast from the past. One of the albums that made me want to become a rock’n roll guitar player. Steve Waller’s guitar play is everything rock guitar needs to be.
Sand – The Dynamic Curve - 1991 Creation records - Edward Ball aka Love Corporation + Teenage Filmstars to name just two other alter egos. musically its like a precurser to Boards of Canada. really nice.
Pixies – Come On Pilgrim + Surfer Rosa. both original 4AD UK releases 1987, 1988.
Still remember when I bought Come on Pilgrim in the 4AD section at Phantom records - had heard of them, but not really heard the. WOW - never heard anything like it - raw, aggressive, kooky yet melodic in its own way - After a couple of listens I was hooked and went back and bought Come on Pilgrim. Even this morning, still sounds raw, aggressive, kooky yet melodic in its own way
Have just listened again to my copy of Dire Straits Communique...on the MFSL label. Amazing sound and great music. Super combo. The 45rpm reissue is now in heavy rotation.
Isobel Campbell – There Is No Other... - brand new album. sound wise - this is rich and 3 dimensional. luvley album
The Tom Petty cover of Running Down a Dream is interesting :weird:
