This one ("Is this the Life we really Want") seems to be widely regarded as his most musical and listenable effort. It is growing on me, but I wish I'd got it on CD - I seem to spend more time getting up to change the record than listening. It is only 55 minutes long, spread over two discs. I think I may be getting lazy and impatient in my old age...Quote:

As for 'Pros and Cons of Hitch hiking', I've never heard that, though if he'd released a follow-up called 'The Pros and Cons of giving Roger Waters a Lift' I would have bought that :) Might have been funny.

This is their debut album. It's and excellent start: hard hitting and somewhat political. Thereafter, they changed their name to 'Chicago' and, IMO, descended into easy listening American AOR.

Picked this up in a charity shop; brand new and still wrapped in cellophane for 50p. I'm still getting into it, but so far I like what I hear. She has a good voice, and would describe her work as intellegent, angry and bohemian.

Again, bought from a charity shop, new and still shrink-wrapped.
Didn't know what to expect from this Swiss rock group, but am always ready to take a punt. So far I like what I hear, but will take a couple more listens to determine whether they are are a keeper or not. Some covers of songs by Kate Bush along with their own self-penned work.

Outstanding 1994 solo effort from Walter Becker.
I'll have to investigate that one Martin. So far I haven't been that impressed with Donald Fagin's solo output.Quote:

Aphex Twin - Drukqs
When this was first released (2001 - Warp) I wasn’t at all sure, I thought it was just a mash up of old work, literally just fulfilling his Warp contract.
I now think that it absolutely typifies what he does and would put it up there amongst his best.
Edit: and Track 11 is an absolute Monster for testing out your systems soundstaging, talk about sounds appearing everywhere! ::eek:
