Blondie
3/5
Not bad but a bit too generic for me (appreciate that she probably created this sound lol)
Orbital
4/5
One of my faves so far altho personally prefer their first album. Enjoyed the heavier tracks on this one as the rest was a fair amount of electro-style beats, which I'm not a massive fan of generally. Feel privileged to have seen them earlier this year in Bristol too!
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
3/5
Cool sound! Reminds me of when I went to India. I think some songs sounded quite similar (my untrained ear) so will give it a 3!

4/5
Another album my parents always used to play me! I remember we used to listen to this on the way to swimming lessons when I was v young. Never really noticed the complexity/sophistication of the 'Music' instrumental - was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. Also really liked 'What it feels like for a girl'.
Bill Evans Trio
4/5
Relaxing and nice to work too, although it did also start sending me to sleep. Still undecided on a lot of Jazz, I thought this was fun but I much prefer uptempo stuff.
Deep Purple
5/5
I listened to this album so many times growing up (shout out to my Dad again). It is probably my favourite live album of all time. Perfect example of every member of the band being top quality and pulling their weight, altho Ritchie Blackmore is ofc my fave.
Prince
3/5

4/5
Coconut is such a classic but I also really enjoyed 'Jump Into The Fire'. Really varied sound.
