Following recommendation of some of her other albums. Intense to say the least.

Like other streaming services, if you search for either the band Alt-j or the name of the album, An Awesome Wave, you should get some sort of result. They already have an new album, This is All Yours, although not as good as their debut it is also worth a listen.

Pat,

Sorry I missed your post while on hols. I only have listened to a few of his albums but I do find this album to be his most enjoyable and I also like At The Cavern. Some of his late material/collaborations is a bit too funky/boogiesh for my liking including some of side projects like Rocket 88. There is a good compilation of his early more bluesy stuff called Bootleg Him if you want to investigate his music a little further.

An update to say that after getting just half way through streaming just one and a half tracks (at 24/96 quality on Bandcamp's site) I decided to purchase and download Shape Shift. It really is an epic listen, highly recommended.

More Zombi required after listening to their new album, this was their last and excellent album from four years ago until today's release of Shape Shift.

I agree with that assesment THX, I stumbled across Editors Back Door via a charity shop punt / purchase a few years ago but never really took to much of their later material up until this one.
