Excellent choice Robin. I have most of their output on vinyl.Quote:

Hooverphonic - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular (1996)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0f67883c9b.jpg
Debut trip-hop(ish) album from the Belgian band originally just called Hoover but added the phonic due to alleged pressure from the vacuum cleaner company. Great album from a really good band who have a habit of getting through lead singers like no tomorrow yet still manage to sound consistent.
Is this really 20 years old? (Stop, let’s not do that again! :lol:)
Above & Beyond - Tri-State (2006)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3ddb64b82a.jpg
Awesome debut from Trance legends and label owners.
Now would you lookie here boys, Mike likes Drive-By Truckers . . . get in :)Quote:

Sort of an Aussie, Indie version of Dead Kennedys meets The Cramps :thumbsup:
Two bands I’ve not heard in a long time - sounds interesting!Quote:

Played this a few times now and has really grown on me.
Final one before night nights.
Death in Vegas - Dead Elvis (1997)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...887aaecf88.jpg
Cracking album, might have to play some more of theirs tomorrow.
Agreed. One of my favourites of theirs.Quote:

Snap! But moved on to this… :sofa:
All Saints - Saints & Sinners (2000)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...209b1e5e65.jpg
Does William Orbit’s involvement win me back any street cred? No, probably not…. But I love this album, so who cares!
I like All Saints but I only have a 'best of' CD taken from the first two albums. Looks like they did five in all.

I remember buying their first album when it came out, about 1998 I think. When I put it on, (rather loud), and the bass kicked in on 'Never Ever', an ornamental flower I had sited near the left speaker fell over. I liked that :)Quote:

Awesome interior furnishing rearrangement there!Quote:

Any road up, I was slightly worried this may be “Math Rock” but apparently not…. Phew! :D
Atabasca - Atabasca (2026)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ce2104047d.jpg
Atabasca is an Italian instrumental trio consisting of Luca Mongia, Paolo Mazziotti, and Valerio Pompei. Formed in 2023, their sound blends psychedelic jazz-funk, afrobeat, and classic Italian film soundtracks (reminiscent of the 1960s Golden Age). They are named after the Athabasca Sand Dunes in Canada.
It’s made it past a couple of plays, I can definitely see the “soundtracks” element. Quite enjoyable.
Keith Richards - 'Talk is Cheap'
Again thanks to Martin for the heads up, and I agree it is better than Richard's 'Main Offender'.

Genesis Owusu - Redstart Wu & the Worldwide Scourge (2026)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1dc2765949.jpg
Still can’t make up my mind on this - a few tracks I really like, some I’m not fussed about, some are just ok - but I guess a lot of albums can be like that to start with?
“Moving between neo-soul, alt-pop, synth-punk and funk, the record pulls together contrasting moods and styles into something fluid and unpredictable.”
Just found this, Experiment IV is the first track. :). (Albeit remastered in 2025 version.)Quote:

Sounds interesting, I'll have to take that out for a spin.Quote:

Obtaining Kate's later releases can be tricky and expensive - a few years ago I saw a vinyl copy of "Aerial" at a record fair where the seller was asking £250, and I remember the vinyl being panned by critics for its poor sq. I ended up buying it on CD.
I'll stick with my 1985 Experiment IV on "The Whole Story" vinyl, and wait for a used CD copy of "Best of the Other Sides" to appear. No rush :)
What type of music is on the record - bongo playing? :scratch:
Have a listen for yourself. I'd say it was funk. Sort of. There is some bongos on it.Quote:

Brilliant album! I did play it relatively recently, a firm favourite, however I have just spotted she had an album out in 2021 which I seem to have completely missed so that will be on the roster this evening. :)Quote:

Darn, you're good . . . I do like it. I think My Delirium is a great song, but it's all good.Quote:

Paris is Burning is probably my other favourite on that album. Let’s see what the one I missed is like…
Ladyhawke - Time Flies (2021)

Good, but a bit more mellow than her earlier stuff, will definitely listen to it again.
Browsing through my library and came across this - no memory of it or buying it, would never have known who she was yet I have this album!?
Larisa Stow - Moment by Moment (1999)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cbeef1a235.jpg
It appears to be a DVD Audio rip, and is actually pretty good, she has a distinctive voice and some interesting songs. Who needs new music when you still have stuff over a quarter of a century old that you can’t remember at all?!
