From the Beatles of punk. The B-sides are as good as the As: in some cases better. On vinyl.
Totally off topic, but I love your avatar Xenasys!
Cheers Kevin yours is not bad either !!!
Reminds me of some album or other.
I thought it looked oddly familiar...
Yes it was that Prog Classic Shine a light through a Prism by the Refractive Index

Joy Division ~ Unknown Pleasure (1979)
Strangely perhaps, Woodpecker, played earlier, put me in the mood to listen to this.
Despite missing out yet again on another opportunity to buy a Naim Aro, I've still had an enjoyable morning spinning some vinyl from the front end of the alphabet, starting with:
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Followed by Camel - Breathless
Then a bit of Moonmadness
And ending with The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars
One day all this lot will sound even better with an Aro!
What a good selection of music.
| 1. 2 Wicky - Hoover |
| 2. Glory Box - Portishead |
| 3. If 6 Was 9 - Axiom Funk |
| 4. Annie Mae - John Lee Hooker |
| 5. Rocket Boy - Liz Phair |
| 6. Superstition - Stevie Wonder |
| 7. My Baby Just Cares For Me - Nina Simone |
| 8. I'll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday |
| 9. Rhymes Of An Hour - Mazzy Star |
| 10. Alice - Cocteau Twins |
| 11. You Won't Fall - Lori Carson |
| 12. I Need Love - Sam Phillips |
This has been critcised as a disparate and disconnected series of tracks, but I enjoy all of them. The movie itself is also unfairly criticised, in my view.
Perfect wet Bank Holiday Euro Jazz... 
Vinyl
On UK first press vinyl. Who'd have thought a boy from Lewisham would end up making an album with Jon Hassell, Kenny Wheeler, Mark Isham, Holger Czukay, Danny Thompson, etc?

Great album from a very musical family
Great album. Nice interplay between guitar and piano. A lot of drive. Bottom line one of the better jazz releases so far..
Agreed.
Last one for me before heading out...

Metallica ~ Death Magnetic (2008)
Its been a while since I listened to this, so on it goes.
Super album, although I haven't heard the Japanese CD.
Chilling out before heading to the airport.
Super album, although I haven't heard the Japanese CD.
It is a copy of the Japanese 1st pressing.
very unique guitar playing...
