Great album. I seem to remember at the time that it seemed like there was an age between Wood Beez and Absolute and then the album coming out. I’ve just checked and it was well over a year between those two s […]

Of David Sylvian’s stuff it would be Secrets Of The Beehive for me. It’s got a lovely European/Scott Walkery vibe to it

Yeah, that’s brilliant as well Doc

I don’t think either have been mentioned yet The complete stax/volt singles 59-68 The complete stax/volt singles 68-71 18 discs of absolutely incredible music

Another absolute cracker here

So many great records over such a long time. A few of my favourites have already had a mention, so a couple of more obscure ones Echoes of Fortune by Felt in this one (I was very surprised to find out it […]

I saw her play in Wellington a few years ago and it was one of my very favourite gigs by anyone. She engaged with the audience in such a way it was like meeting up with an old friend. Absolutely brilliant.

This is The Shirt is one of my favourite pop singles of the 80s. I bought it out of one of those racks they had in newsagents

Thanks KDH. I was aware there were a few other things, but the Criterion box is about as much as I need (or can probably handle!). I’ve got the Eclipse series small box which has got Torment on there – which he […]

I’ve been watching old episodes of Doom Watch and I’m convinced Robert Powell (particularly in the episode where he’s drinking heavily) must have been the inspiration for Richard E Grant’s performance in Withnail and I

It was the Criterion set Dai. I got it on the Barnes and Noble 50% sale. They usually have one a couple of times a year

A new episode of Jim Irvin has popped up this morning!

I’m about 3 films away from watching all of Ingmar Bergman’s cinematic output. I bought the big box set thing discounted about 3 years ago so I’ve been watching all the docs and interviews too. As a summa […]

Love The Passions but don’t know that podcast. Will give it a listen

I bought it when it came out and the 2 eps. I much prefer it to the 3 albums The House of Love put out since they reformed (although She Paints Words in Red has its moments)

Last Grinning Soul is wonderful and is always up in my top 10 Bowie tunes

Oh, Sealand by Oddfellows Casino. If you don’t know him/them it’s sort of pastoral psych with a smidge of prog. Very nice Then Phil’s Spectre – A Wall of Soundalikes (first volume) lined up for after

FIP for me as well for about the last 30 years. Great music, very little talking

Yep. That’s a brilliant one, remember it well without even playing the clip
