I only have Porcupine Trees 'Deadwing', which I think is OK, but has never prompted me to listen to their later recordings.

Jalen Ngonda - Doctrine of Love (2026)
Second album picks up where 2023’s debut (Come Around And Love Me) left off as far as I can tell on first listen of today’s release. Motown inspired sounds in the vein of Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson to paraphrase Google AI. I enjoyed his first album, he’s undoubtedly talented, I just feel there’s something that for me doesn’t quite make him epic.

That's a name I haven't heard of before, so it's on the list.
A change of pace to wind down before watching tonight's film. I find Aroojs' voice haunting.
Love in Exile
Arooj Aftab • Vijay Iyer • Shahzad Ismaily
2023
The album's six tracks range in length from eight to fifteen minutes but seem shorter and were recorded live in the studio, without any preparation; there was little editing afterwards. The winning results demonstrate that the musicians in this trio . . . Arooj Aftab on vocals (singing in Urdu), Vijay Iyer on piano and electronics and Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Moog synthesiser are strongly connected.

Captain - This is Hazelville (2006)
I don’t believe in coincidences, but when I decided to play this, remembering that Captain are the kings of introductions on this album, I had no idea or recollection that this is produced by - yep, Trevor Horn!

Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV (2005)
Another one not spun recently or often enough! Loved this when it came out then faded into the forgotten about category!
