Diving Station - Boards of Canada, from the album Geogaddi (on vinyl... woop!).

I'm really glad to own this album on vinyl. It's IMO one of the best electronic albums of all time...

Urban Hymns by the Verve. Fantastic album.

OMD's Greatest Hits - It's quite amazing how good they were (and how overlooked at the time) - synth pop at it's finest!

More Sufjan Stevens over here. Listening to Michigan right now.

Listened to that myself a few weeks ago for the first time in ages. Just love all that early 80's synth music.

"Joan of Arc" is brilliant - it gives me goosebumps - it's probably not the one you think, it's this, -  rather than this - that's called "Maid of Orleans"

"Just my imagination" : performed by George Jinda, a smooth jazz adaptation from the Temptation.

I know the difference although I can see why it could be confusing.

Listening to the Verve Remixed 2 album ( classic jazz remixed by worlds top DJs - really cool ) on the newly acquired BeoCenter 9300.

Yazoo - Upsatirs At Erics. Fantastic vocals from Alison Moyet and the superb keybord playing of Vince Clarke. What more could you ask for.

Listening to The Who - Baba O'Riley at the minute. Also been listening to The Police quite abit recently, but that's because I got tickets to their concert in June at Stormont, Belfast.

Robert. 

Martin Simpson - Prodigal Son.  Splendid Album - saw him last year at Cambridge, the CD does not dissapoint.

Also been giving the Robert Plant / Alison Kraus album a lot of time - it gets better & better.

Guided by Voices rule in the car at the moment, follwed closely by Editors, whilst at work I have recently been subjecting colleagues to large doses of AfroCelts and Rory Gallagher.

Also, just digging out some Leonard Cohen, in anticipation of June. 

 

 

 

Something - The Beatles. Abbey Road isn't exactly my favourite Beatles album (that goes to Magical Mystery Tour) but it does have some brilliant songs on it.

Do it Yourself - The Seahorses.

I'd lost the CD ages ago but it turned up, as if by magic, yesterday. I'm enjoying listening to it again - I'd forgotten what a good album it is.

Do It Yourself is also the name a Ian Dury & The Blockheads album (well, a Best Of compilation) which I've been enjoying a lot recently...

 "Fiesta en el Bronx" performed by Wayne Gorbea

I remember getting very excited when 'Love is the Law' was released as the first single from this album, as I've always been a massive Stone Roses fan. I'd love it if they re-formed.

Currently listening to 'I Never Want an Easy Life if Me and He Were Ever to Get There' by The Charlatans :) 

John Martyn - Live at Leeds

Soundtrack from ''Once upon a time in the West" by Ennio Morricone.

Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for destruction. Their best album IMO.

jack jones sings michel legrand followed up by jeff beck's last 3 albums then some frank sinatra and finally a dash of iron maiden and van halen to finish me off

 :) 

i'm not sure what gave me the hangover , the vodka or that cacophony ! 

Fat Freddy's Drop - Ernie. Haven't listened to this album for quite a while...

Now listening to Perfect Day - Lou Reed. Bought Transformer on Vinyl in perfect condition on monday (along with Endtroducing by DJ Shadow and Think (About It) (the album) by Lyn Collins, again all in perfect condition).

Just watching Dave Gilmour doing acoustic version of Wish you were Here at the Albert Hall on TOTP2 - cool!

i love vinyl , reminds me of the joy of playing a laserdisc

the smell , the paper lining the massive album art etc

plus the bno record players like the 4004 etc were so much sexier than a cd player
