So now my mission for this evening is to play albums by bands with places in their name that are not where they actually come from...
Berlin - Count Three & Pray (1986)

Now I remember why I haven't played it in eons! Bit of a dirge, I couldn't finish it, so now to a Scottish duo, and their debut album:
Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children (1998)

I agree - I used to have this back in the 70s, no idea what happened to it. I saw a copy of it in a record shop a couple of years ago, and would have bought it if it wasn't so tatty and with a sticker price 20 odd quid
Two other posthumous recordings I had back then (Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning) weren't nearly as good imo.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Arcam A75 integrated, Monitor Audio R852 MD speakers
A/V:
LG OLED65 G56LS, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL T9i sub.
KICKSTARTER: ENABLING SCAMMERS SINCE 2009

Final one for the night, one of my favourites, so no hardship playing this band who really hale from Croydon...
Saint Etienne - Words And Music By Saint Etienne (2012)
And I've just spotted they released 2 new albums in 2024 and 2025 I didn't know about!Looks like I've got some catching up to do, that's the problem when you like so many bands and artists!

Today I've been playing all of Roxy Music's studio albums, and IMO 'For Your Pleasure' is their best by a long chalk. Virtually every track is a winner.
