#5albums25 @murdercapital.bsky.social Murder Capital - Blindness (2025) This post punk offering keeps nudging up the play me next list. A dynamic album of raging power juxtaposed with delicate introspective numbers. A fascinating creative development. Best track - Love Of Country #NowPlaying

#5albums25 House Of All - House Of All Souls (2025) Recent impressions - No drop off in quality as The Fall diaspora continue their creative rebirth. Album three is possibly their strongest Of All. Perhaps its the three drummers. Best track - The Good Englishman. New album in the spring. #NowPlaying

#5albums25 #albumoftheday Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman (2025) NSFW Pop music of the highest order. An absolute revelation for me at Glastonbury. Stunning performance. Danceable, choral arrangements and genuinely empowering lyrics. Best track - 69 #NowPlaying

#5albums25 John Patrick Elliott - The Two Gentlemen Of Verona (2025) Music from the, I imagine, quite radical version of the Shakespeare play as performed by the RSC. Very different from the Little Unsaid frontman, with folksy sections elbowed aside by some 90s rave and atmospheric interludes.

#albumoftheday Groove Armada - Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) (2001) Album 3 is an uptempo step up. Weaving elements of dub, trip hop, soul and disco into a synergistic whole. They also now had the clout to entice Nile Rodgers and Richie Havens into the studio. Best track - Superstylin' #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Rage Against The Machine - Renegades (2000) Radical reworkings of radical songs by radicals. Rock band as lightning rod. Superb. @maryannehobbs.bsky.social opened with Down On The Street last Sunday, so a play was utterly mandatory. #MusicSky

#albumoftheday Max Richter - From Sleep (2015) Selections from the 8-hour long somnambulant masterpiece, Sleep. Neoclassical and sparse musings on the nature of sleep, dreaming and space. I would love to have the time to listen to the entire piece. Best track - Path 5 #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Bryan Ferry - Another Time Another Place (1974) Ferry was one of several British rock stars to create covers albums based on their 60's crushes. His loves are Dylan and RnB and they get an imaginative airing here. His tremulous voice was never more debonair. #VinylCommunity #MusicSky

#LoveItOrListIt The Roy Wood Story (1976) A recently acquired career spanning retrospective from The Move, via ELO and Wizzard to his diminishing returns solo output. I'm particularly enjoying the Move's 60's charm but, should it stay or should it go? #VinylCommunity

#NowPlaying Mozart/von Karajan/BPO - Requiem (1791) Commissioned by Count Walsegg following the death of his wife. Somewhat ironically, it was unfinished at the time of Mozart's own death. In my belated discovery of classical music I'm finding I have a liking for choral requiems. Who knew? #MusicSky

#albumoftheday Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline (1969) First listen for me. A rootsy return to basics with a late 60's contemporary country album. His voice seems smoother, the songs warm and direct. I could yet get to admire Dylan. Best track - Lay Lady Lay #VinylCommunity #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Generation X - Valley Of The Dolls (1979) Arguing about the drummer's limitations with producer Ian Hunter overshadowed recording. This sophomore effort is not a patch on their stunning glam punk debut but highlights include Friday's Angels and Best track - King Rocker #MusicSky

#MusicSky The Orb - U.F. Orb (1992) Elements of Hawkwind, King Tubby, progressive rock and studio wizardry combine to produce a dense, layered ambient ocean of sound. Constantly evolving epic compositions that you float on as well as listen to. Best track - O.O.B.E. #NowPlaying

#albumoftheday Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (2002) 1st track in, and you know that this is a classic. The dualling lead guitars lead from the front. As much influenced by the late 70's, as influential on their successors. Post punk for the years. Best track - Obstacle 1 #MusicSky

#albumoftheday The Bug Vs Earth - Concrete Desert (2016) Discogs describes this as ambient, trip hop, abstract noise and it's hard to disagree. Divisive, abrasive and uncompromising. Love it. Collab between a UK producer and Seattle based drone doom pioneers. Best track - Snakes vs Rats #NowPlaying

#NowPlaying Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story (1971) The LP that propelled Rod into the stratosphere. A mix of well chosen covers and collaborations. Rod makes the covers his own - the sign of a definitive performance. Best track - I'm Losing You #VinylCommunity

This copy of R. Dean Taylor's Indiana Wants Me (1971) has a slight issue. Can anyone spot it?
Note to self: pay more attention when buying record collections.

#NowPlaying #LoveItOrListIt The Association - Greatest Hits (1968) Siper tight Californian-sun six piece vocal harmony group with hits in styles ranging from very 60's sunshine pop to requiem. Recently bought as part of a small collection, but should it stay or should it go? #VinylCommunity

#NowPlaying Cat Stevens - Teaser And The Firecat (1971) First listen. There was a time when I wouldn't have given Cat the time of day but now his spiritual, soul-searching folk seems to chime more resonantly. I'm more Cat Power than Cat Stevens still but this is very good indeed. #VinylCommunity

#NowPlaying @thesmiletheband.bsky.social The Smile - Cutouts (2024) This isn't so much Math Rock, more Algebra Rock - there's so many things going on. My favourite from a band that seem to operating on a higher plane to their contemporaries. Best track - Colours Fly #VinylCommunity

#NowPlaying #albumoftheday Wunderhorse - Cub (2022) Got this after being impressed by their 2024 Reading set. Dynamic and varied indie rock with a punchy production. Many of the songs are riddled with hooks that grab you by the ears and refuse to let go. Best track - Purple #MusicSky
