The Suburbs
Arcade Fire
Feels very "safe" without much edge. Can't say most of the songs grabbed me. Modern Man was a stand-out though. Probably won't make it into a rotation for me, but found it inoffensive.

Tries a bit too hard at times to be edgy in what I call a "bloke pop" kind of way. A few good tunes.

The Man Machine
Kraftwerk
Foundational. Pivitol. Revolutionary. Influential. Clinical & hyper-futuristic rendition of machines' impact on man through a Fritz Lang lens presaging Ray Kurzweil's vision of the singularity. You can see why John Foxx took these ideas and ran with them. Bathe in it with headphones.

You can hear the influnce they had on Bowie. Their later stuff sounds more up my street so might check that out. I did like the Spoitify follow-on tracks more though...
Groovy baby.

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Still prefer the original to this cover of Love in Vain & noone covers RJ quite like Clapton of course.
Midnight Rambler - The stones really building a strong son on their blues influences. Love the tempo changes. Great harmonica work.
Monkey Man - more blues. Good. Nice tip of the hat to Robert Johnson with the line about lemon squeezer.
You Can't Always Get What You Want - a far better song than some of the things its been used for

White Light
Gene Clark
American wallpaper. Probably needs to be played on an 8-Track or reel to reel.
Ironic title considering the cover, showing sunset which due to the increased amount of atmosphere the light has to travel through contains less light of shorter blue wavelengths due to Raleigh Scattering. So, not white light.
