25 Years On – Hawklords Hawklords are the little known reformation sub-band of the widely known Hawkwind. You might know Hawkwind from such mind altering albums as Quark Strangeness and Charm or Pxr5 or the single Silver Machine or perhaps you know Hawkwind as that prog-band with the tits(Hawkwind employed a topless dancer for live…

25 Jaar Na “Waterloo” by Abba I am a firm believer that when someone breaks John Lennon’s rose tinted spectacles, historians will realise that the most influential band of the past 50 years was not John, Paul, George and Ringo and was in fact Abba. No. You will fail to convince me otherwise. I won’t hear…

18 by Moby Ah Moby. Your baldness makes you who you are. I’ve never been a huge fan of Moby. To me, his albums are nothing but coffee table music. The kind of music you put on when you’ve got some girl back to your flat that you want to romance over very large glasses…

10cc – 10cc The following entry has been written by a “special” guest writer – Zoefruitcake. Stegzy delayed playing 10cc by 10cc as he knew I liked 10cc, and then decided I should be the one to write about it. So tonight he popped it on, we settled down to listen…and I discovered something. I’ve got…

10 Neurotics by Black Tape for a Blue Girl Aside from Porcupine Tree’s In Absentia which is a concept album about a serial killing pervert, this is possibly one of the more….twisted….albums I have. Each song on the album tells the story of some sort of sexual depravity, kink or perversion. Some very dark indeed. Black Tape…

At the time, the wife and I thought our selves very avant garde. Listening to music by French musicians of the electronica genre. Hey, we…

9 by Damian Rice He lies. There are 10. Not 9. He might be referring to 9 albums. Or 9 pairs of socks. Or something. Not sure what. Don’t really care. Rice is one of those artists I thought “Oh I like that song on such and such a soundtrack, I’ll get their other stuff…

4AD Presents the 13 Year Itch by Various Artists This is the first of many compilation albums and the first of several sampler albums that I’ve collected over the years. I’ve been a huge fan of Ivo Watt’s 4AD label since the early nineties. Watt’s distinctive production reverberates throughout all the artists borne from the 4AD stable. Throwing…

2 Metre Sessie by Chris Isaak Now the more astute of you or any huge fan of Chris Isaak will be going “WTF?! I don’t recognise this as an album!”. And the answer would be yes. You are right. This is a 1991 recording of a live session from a Dutch radio programme (http://www.2metersessies.nl) which runs…

2 Sides of Yes by Rick Wakeman In case you didn’t know, Rick Wakeman was once the keyboard player for 70’s prog band Yes. The wizard of the keys. The bearded wonder of twiddle. A very talented musician. Sadly tainted by religious fervor and self important attitude. As a big fan of Yes, it makes…
