The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Great album. Still sounds surprisingly fresh and modern, highlighting how far ahead of their time kraftwerk were at the time of release.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Excellent album, some classic 90's indie rock. Stand out tracks are the singles but the album tracks are strong also, good riffs and vocals throughout.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

5/5

Very good album. Expected to only enjoy brimful of asha but, some very eclectic songs, great variety of sounds and rhythms mixing electronic, bass and Indian instruments to great effect.

Standard Dylan. Album was catchy but some pretty random lyrics.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

5/5

Excellent album. Great track called Mr wendal brings back some great memories.

The Band

3/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Some good sounds, slightly phsycadelic guitars. Enjoyed the album, vocals fairly non descript but sound good and atmospheric.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Foreign language, not a problem. Energetic, Latin style music. Good to listen to in background. Didn't engage hugely with this one.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Great album. Some classic hits that are great to sing along to. Otis has such a distinctive voice and the tunes are fantastic. Also great to hear some slower numbers that are less well known.

...Like Clockwork

Queens Of The Stone Age

5/5

Definitely a grower. Not my favourite album when I first heard, was expecting bombastic anthems like Songs for the Deaf. However, Josh Hommes voice is amazing, the vocals varying wildly at times creating different moods depending on the song. Will take a few listenings to really get, but another good album by one of my favourite bands.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

Excellent album. Some great singalong hits. Varied in pace too, some songs show more energy than others to keep it interesting.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Great track in 'Been caught stealin', however, the rest of the album is fairly forgettable.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Excellent album, some classic 90's indie rock. Stand out tracks are the singles but the album tracks are strong also, good riffs and vocals throughout.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Excellent so gwriting accompanied by a unique voice. All her songs tell a story making these songs a little more meaningful than most. Guitars reflecting the sounds of the time but mostly sound modern. Enjoyed this album and will listen to more from Joni

Da Capo

Love

4/5

Better than expected. Some good guitars and vocals. Pyscadelic riffs and licks in there but entertaining. Great harmonicas too.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

Great album, lots of powerful guitars, bold drums and distinctive vocals. Howling for you is by far the best track but generally, a great, powerful album

Berlin

Lou Reed

3/5

Okay album. Vocal heavy, nice guitars and piano.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Chilled out album. Some nice strings and easy vocals. Creates a dreamy kind of atmosphere when listening. Some interesting arrangements with different instruments lending each song a slightly different character

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Great album. Still sounds surprisingly fresh and modern, highlighting how far ahead of their time kraftwerk were at the time of release.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

Very nice album. Charming and heartwarming. Could imagine hearing them in a cosy pub with a beer and an open fire. Some very emotionally charged tracks, slightly haunting in places. Very well written and arranged.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

4/5

Eclectic mix of songs on this album. Chilled out so easy to listen to but some lovely vocals and interesting arrangements make this a lovely album to listen through.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Not bad. Very sixties vibe, a good mixture of songs but none I recognised. Entertaining enough to listen to but not one I'll keep going back to.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

5/5

Very good album. Expected to only enjoy brimful of asha but, some very eclectic songs, great variety of sounds and rhythms mixing electronic, bass and Indian instruments to great effect.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

Enjoyable album. More tracks I recognised than I thought I would, good guitars and blends of instruments arranged very nicely. Very good album.

The Stooges

4/5

Good album. Driving guitars and that distinctive lead vocal. I wanna be your dog by far the best rack but others have their merits too and I enjoyed the album.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Good album with strong vocals and varied styles and instruments.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Classic 80's album. Some excellent so gwriting with great melodies and arrangements, very much enjoyed.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

Quirky album with some real Sing-along tunes. Great for a sunny afternoon listening. Reminds of Jerry Reed in song composition and sound.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

4/5

4/5

Good album, pop punk with great lyrics Representative the era. Some songs I knew already also. Very enjoyable

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Future Days

Can

3/5

Interesting album, mixture of sounds and styles. Tracks not likely to stick in the mind but enjoyable and entertaining to listen to in background.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

5/5

Almost the definition of 80's synth pop. Such a distinctive voice over some of the most iconic electronic sounds ever to come out of the 80's. Great lyrics and structures too, each song having there own feel, although some recycling of sounds does occur. Great pop album

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

5/5
