D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle
Throbbing GristleWhere to start…like most people , this was not an easy listen. Walking down Tottenham High Road, it was tough ti distinguish between background noise and the “music”. Either way, respect to Throbbing Gristle for doing this, the record company for releasing it, the % of people of were inspired by this to make something better. ✊

BeatlesSadly this album fills like filler in their catalogue. A few okay cover versions (Money, You Really Got a Hold on Me)and original tracks. If this were not a Beatles album, I don’t think this would be on the list of best albums ever.

Meat Puppets II
Meat PuppetsI’m most reviews here, only knew of the band through Nirvana. Love they got some pop off the back of Unplugged and exposed to a new audience. The fact three songs were included says enough about the album’s influence on the Kurt. A bit messy for my tastes but pleased I got to hear the whole album.

SadeI’ve heard 42% of children born in 1985 were conceived to this album. Facts aside i really enjoyed this album. Yes, it’s as smooth as silk, and the production is a bit dated in places but ‘your love is king’ sounds timeless and Sade’s voice distinctively beautiful.

Either way, respect to Throbbing Gristle for doing this, the record company for releasing it, the % of people of were inspired by this to make something better. ✊

Five Leaves Left
Nick DrakeThere was a feature in the UK Sunday Times on the mid 90s on Nick Drake. I was a teenager and the image of him wrapped in a blanket intrigued me. The story was fascinating but there was no instant way of getting the music, I was hooked before I had heard a note. Just the description of the haunting melodies, melancholy lyrics and unusual fingers picking playing was enough. I had to save up to but a three album CD set I found in a music magazine which then took another week to arrive. Hearing the introduction to ‘Time has told me’ I already knew i was in safe hands. It felt like this was my little discovery, this achingly beautiful collection of song, knowing how the story ended was somehow tragically fitting. I’d like to think there were others who discovered Nicks music that day, following the same steps and having this special music in their lives.

Beth OrtonSome magical songs included here. ‘sweetest decline’ evokes memories of relationships which have broken down which I’ve not even experienced. “What are regrets? - They're just lessons we haven't learned yet.” I prefer the remixes of the title track and would have liked to have heard more of that influence on a few more of the songs. Either way, utterly beautiful In parts.

The Libertines
The Libertines‘Can’t stand me now’ aside - underwhelming. The noise in the music press at the time was that the libertines had revitalised and revolutionised music in the same way as the sex pistols did. In reality I think they were little more than a UK inspired.

MC SolaarMagnifique! I sure I loved this more because I couldn’t understand a word. I might well have been about violence against men and women and dropping racial slurs but the musicality and variety was ace. Listen to this for the first time in the early 90s and thought myself pretty cool but feel this is the first time I’ve really appreciated was a great record this is. Very bon
