Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Nov 29 2025

First track takes you right back to watching Vikings. Great mood and theme throughout.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 09 2025

Exactly what I came to discover here.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 11 2025

Excellent find. Folk rock with a British bent. Wimpy bars, snot and cups of tea.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Dec 12 2025

Meh... early Eighties synthetic rock... heavy drum fetish.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Dec 25 2025

A bit musical theatre for my taste. Cultural misappropriation in the middle with the Iroquois was rather ironically good.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Dec 27 2025

Actually quite melancholic in places.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Dec 29 2025

Pitches and Hos y'know. GTA San Andrea's almost to an explicit pastiche. Rather gratuitous for my liking, being back the DAISY age.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 30 2025

Lyrics are something else. The sound though very much what you would expeft

Jan 01 2026

Quite a conceptual adventure. Flag for re listen. Some good influences on eg Public Service Broadcasting.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 02 2026

Much better than Dr Dre in the same genre. Has a real fell that is unmistakably Cypress Hill you'll.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 03 2026

Holds together well. Sombre, thoughtful but not overly morose. Some Velvet underground influences with careful use of xylehlphone.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 04 2026

Some gems no doubt, but doesn't hold together as an album as well as was hoping. Some over synthetic guitar takes away from the definitive Joni sound. Lyrics are killer though... from the forceps to the stone etc...

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 06 2026

Hallelujah.... evening backing music

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 07 2026

Country music for a late night smokey night club. Gentle, lyrical, lullaby-esqyes

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jan 08 2026

A bit Metronomie esque for my liking.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Feb 09 2026

Cool and relentless blues beats to a modern almost Beck like vocals.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 13 2026

Quite fun. Nice balance indy with keyboard of the early 80s

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Feb 15 2026

Good to hear Karma Chameleon in context. Otherwise feels a little underwhelming.

Be by Common
Feb 18 2026

More thoughtful RNB... but the chip on shoulder is a little to in the face fir casual listening

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 20 2026
Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 15 2026
Guero by Beck
Mar 21 2026
Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Apr 26 2026

Actually not bad on second listen

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 27 2026
2112 by Rush
Apr 29 2026

Led Zeppelin with less orcs.
