Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

5/5

A stone cold hip hop classic - I needed no introduction to this - conscious rap over some wonderful samples probably my favourite rap album ever....

first listen ever to this album - lots to take in and very ambitious! It made a good first impressions and I will go back and listen again to fully unlock and appreciate.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

2/5

Put off by the vocalist and musically it just didn't resonate with me! Gave it a whirl but not really my cup of tea!

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

Simple effective production, and the rap was really easy to listen and flowed well. However the themes/message really didn't resonate with me. I much prefer the 90's hip hop by Guru, the native tongues, etc

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Easy to listen too, nothing too complicated and good fun. Liked the American roots influences......

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Excellent - other than the title track i'd never given Funkadelic much attention. Some fantastic guitar action going on both lead and bass! Will be revisiting for sure and it may even get added to the vinyl wants list!

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Protection

Massive Attack

4/5

Thoroughly enjoyable - not quiet as good their first outing "Blue Line's". The Mad Professors remix of the album "No Protection" which used to do it back in the day would probably get 4.5 stars....

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

First time listen - loved the stripped back simplicity of the folk. Will be listening again to really dig deeper into the lyrical content

John Prine

3/5

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Hip hop gold - simple but very effective
