Back At The Chicken Shack
Jimmy Smith
Smooth with a smokey, dimly lit bar feel. Refreshing blues and jazz tastes.
Not something I would have previously enjoyed. Makes me want an oversized cadillac.

Foxbase Alpha
Saint Etienne
A curious opening, unexpected but refreshing.
Strong ace of base vibes with an airy twist. Mildly repetitive lyrics but not unpleasant. Suitable for including in an operating theatre playlist with elements for everyone to enjoy.
Unusual interim tracks that left a little to be desired, definitely needs to be listened to in track order to feel the flow.
Pairs well with an espresso but not a good combination with a more stiff drink.

Among The Living
Anthrax
An already biased opinion as a metal head! The Metallica homages are evident.
Crisp, dry drums that are synonymous with thrash metal hammer away with barely intelligable lyrics encourage head banging.
A properly adjusted equaliser makes more difference than it has rights to in order to elevate the sound.

The Man Machine
Kraftwerk
Delightful synth with the origins of dance music felt.
Even though a little repetitive, never felt to be irritating.

Channel Orange
Frank Ocean
If you're into R&B I can see this being enjoyable... As a newcomer I certainly didn't get the appeal. Bland tracking and free form flow left a bad taste.
As much as there are many albums to listen to before you die, I would not have minded not hearing this one.

This Year's Model
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Surprisingly modern sound. Lyrics found to be quite witty and catchy.
Keyboards are occasionally repetitive and annoying.

The Contino Sessions
Death In Vegas
- disharmonies are intriguing,
- will definitely listen to again but needs right mood
- not listened to much shoegaze but might explore more

The Sounds Of India
Ravi Shankar
I'm not sure if listening to this is cultural enrichment or cultural appropriation... Nonetheless the journey to Shangri - La was very enjoyable.

Nowhere
Ride
A pleasant psychedelic experience.
Images of kaleidoscopes and teenagers that need a wash comes to mind.
Limited sing along options.

Fuzzy
Grant Lee Buffalo
A great example of a classic 90's sound, that conjurs images of large cathode computer displays, enormous mobile phones, the election of Bill Clinton and yet becomes utterly forgettable the moment the album ends.
