Iron Maiden
Iron MaidenHeavy metal is not my thing usually, but I liked the raw production and punk influence in parts. Even some of the more Proggy sounds weren’t too sickening. Enjoyed it on the whole, especially all the singing about running, nice to hear of such a healthy bunch of lads.

Ill Communication
Beastie BoysReally loved revisiting this. There’s a great, eclectic mix of funky hip hop, raucous punk and really evocative lyricism and vocal delivery. As an album we’re getting our moneys worth for sure.

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James BrownThe highlight on this album is the orchestra /band, they sound sharp and I bet this gig was amazing. It’s also charming to hear Brown before his funk period, there’s almost an innocence to the record in hindsight.

Michael JacksonThere’s 10 songs on this album and 5 are about dancing, 4 about girls and one about work. Still, good album. Before the… unpleasantness…

Hunting High And Low
a-haSounds exactly like a pastiche of the genre and time it was released. I tried to get in to it but it sounds like Flight of the Conchords ripping 80s European electronic pop, though not funny.

Come Find Yourself
Fun Lovin' CriminalsA real sense of place and time with this one; funky psych guitairs, vinyl scratching, gravel voiced rapping; all very evocative of NYC in the late 80s/90s. A surprising diversity of approach and songwriting. Not all of it lands but still holds up well.

Alien Lanes
Guided By VoicesPleasantly surprised by this record. Great lo-fi indie reminiscent of British indie in its unpolished era, with hints of Neutral Milk Hotel (before the… unpleasantness….). Was a bit put off initially by the sheer number of tracks but the album never drags. Definitely one to revisit.

Jorge Ben JorSounds like listening to City of God (before the… unpleasantness…) playing in the other room. Never quite hooks enough to make you sit down and watch the film, maybe because you saw it in Uni and think you remember the ending, but then BAM, they’re at the door with the pizza and you’re thinking I didn’t order pizza, what’s going on here. Then you realise it must have been an online order delivered to you in error, meaning they can’t take it back, so you basically have a free pizza. So you think maybe you’ll sit down and watch City of God after all. And do you know what? You quite enjoy it. That’s what this album is like.

R.E.M.After all the years I’ve listened to REM I’d never actually listened to this in its entirety. I will definitely be doing so again. Early enough to have that rawness to it it, but late enough to sound distinctly assured.

Depeche ModeI was born in the decade this was made and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have liked this even then. Saying that, it’s a very evocative record that I’m sure makes sense for the soundtrack of a period drama about the 80s. Not for me, but I get why people dig it.
