Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Day 1 of #1001#albumgenerator being the third album release by Van Morrison widely regarded as his best. A subtle move away from folk jazz I must admit I enjoyed my first play of this 1970 album for probably thirty years and found it more accessible than previous plays. The title track is something of beauty. I have listened on CD for this recording and overall I think a 3 out of 5 from me.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Loved this album on release as it mixes rock with jazz and krautrock .Its a complete move away from the sound of the 3 previous albums. A fab album and a nice return for me having not played for a number of years.

Tago Mago

Can

4/5

An influential album the bridges jazz, rock and electronica. A hypnotic recording with some wicked funk rhythms. The start of something major for me.

Kings of Leon

1/5

Dare!

The Human League

2/5

Remember listening to this album around 1982 on the bounce from the punk/new wave movement and found this a refreshing listen. Not so sure this time but an ok listen to be fair.
