my first new music discovery of 2026 - really enjoying this album by DJ Harrison, a tantalising combination of funk, hip hop, jazz, and electronic-tinged soul

Alan Moore’s Jerusalem. Yes, ALL OF IT (and it would require an unlimited budget too!!)

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second
