Reggatta De Blanc
The Police
SOS to the world, itβs the call of the lonely. One hundred billion bottles wasted up on the shore. We arenβt alone in being lonely anymore.
Itβs a song about suicide? Or at least a cry for help?
White Reggae! Regatta de Blache. Jah!
Walking on the Moon is probably the only decent track.
Rest of the album is kinda corny.

2Pac
2pac is always the one I wished Iβd listened to more. Lyrical but also maybe this doesnβt quite hit musically
Handsome as fuck tho.

Fine album. But not really my vibe. Never was really. Especially as this was prime art school days

Intense listening. Skin Deep is maybe the best track. Drums drums drums.

Gang Of Four
Three tracks in and I LOVE this album!!
Iβd never heard it before though had always heard their name in passing.
The lyrics. The guitar. The bass. The drums. The attitude.
Hurts! Hits! Moves!
So fucking good.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn Boy
This was once upon a time one of my very favourite albums. Often on repeat in my teenage bedroom.
In fact. Damon was perhaps the first βfamousβ musician I ever met? I somehow scored tickets to a small live performance at the Cornerhouse in Manchester when I was maybe 16 or 17. My girlfriend of the time was a really big fan too. And I remember being a little star stuck when I went to say hello after the gig. It was maybe even the launch party for this album. Or maybe he was number 1.
Itβs still a beautiful album. Full of gentle honesty with that beautiful northern lyricism and musicality. It might not be the coolest album to admit to liking but this was very much a part of growing up in Manchester at that moment in time for me.

Only listened to half the album. Got a great start. But it got pretty bleak after a few tracks and had to move on. Too emo for me at the moment !
