Done By The Forces Of Nature
Jungle Brothers
Not sure who came first, but reminds me of De La Soul. Not something I would normally listen to, but this is decent enough.

Used to listen to this on my Walkman at college during lunch time playing the 1942 arcade machine in the leisure centre across the road. Good times.
A cracking album btw. One that’s often mimicked, but rarely bettered.

Truth
Jeff Beck
I can see his influence on so many artists, but they just seem to do it better. Led Zep for instance.
Decent album and obviously talented, but I don’t quite like his voice and feel it went on a bit too long.
There are also some tracks that are really self indulgent.

Loveless
My Bloody Valentine
I fell in love with MBV after hearing one of their earlier tracks, Strawberry Wine, on a free NME cassette (look it up!).
Saw them live in the late 80s and they were awesome.
This was the pinnacle album wise, but there are better EPs out there. You Made Me Realise has an amazing B-side.
Sometimes is the highlight for me, but I could listen to this over and over.

Apologies to the aficionados, but once you’ve heard the first track you’ve heard them all.
I don’t think an algorithm to generate new Frank Sinatra songs would be very complex at all.
