A thoroughly enjoyable first time listen to this hip hop classic. Some beautiful tracks with an uplifting spiritual vibe. Some pointed lyrical observations on sexual politics and meditations on the nature of love. A wonderfully mixed bag of gospel tinged and soulful hip hop

Razor sharp and heavy. Seminal East Coast hardcore.

Brilliant and underrated work in the formidable Radiohead canon.

‘Warning sign, warning sign…’. Talking Heads second LP is up there as one of their early best. A great follow up to Talking Heads 77 and coming before the classic ‘Fear of Music’, ‘More Songs’ is joyous, inventive and brimming with great tunes.

3.5 rating for me. Need to listen again.

Valentines Day

C’est FantastiQUE. C’est Techno!!

Cut and burn. Punk not punk. Satirical masterpiece. Saturday night jitters. Sweetened bitters. Feeling called love be bop a Lula your hula hoops. 12XU. Wire moved on quickly from there adrenalised debut and are still a tour de force today. Individual members have made numerous records. Genius band, starting out on a high, before morphing into individual brilliance, solo and collaborations. Still relevant. Abstract mappers headed off the grid. Essentially yours!!

Nice and Sleazy Does It. Some great tracks on this album.
