The Pearl by Harold Budd & Brian Eno.

RIP Harold Budd who died last night aged 84. An ambient pioneer.

No way! I'm really saddened to hear that. I was actually only listening to a new release from him and Robin Guthrie yesterday and really enjoyed it.

He made some amazingly beautiful music over many years. Years ago when I worked night shifts I used to listen to a lot of his music while trying to sleep during the day. In particular he had a lovely 2 CD album with John Foxx called Translucence/Drift Music and of course his collaborations with Brian Eno were just beautiful.

The last album I listened to was Achtung Baby by U2.

Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) - written and performed by none other than the Happy Mondays.

I'm old enough to have bought this when it came out. My version has Desmond, the Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da knock-off. Decent debut but they knocked it out of the park with the next two albums.

The gig with The Shamen on Paddy's Day 1989 was deadly. No Bez.

Deuce - Rory gallagher

Checked out Taylor Swifts new one at the weekend. Not good!

The last new album I bought and listened to was the new one by The Strokes back early summer. It was such a non descript mediocre yawn fest I can't remember the title or even bother to look it up.

The last album I listened to for the first time was "Justice for All" by Metallica a few weeks ago on a flight.

Yesterday I listened to Fever Ray's self titled album. So many good tracks and so original sounding, absolutely love this album. The stand out track for me is "Keep the streets empty for me", always gives me goosebumps.

Harry Nilsonn "KNNILLSSONN" 1977. Unbelievable opening track "All I think about is you" and closing track "Perfect day". Serious earworm for those who gravitate toward Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Beck "Sea Changes and Morning phase".

There's the opener....

That is a great tune, he was a fantastic songwriter (though weirdly the 2 songs he's best known for are covers).

I've been listening to the new Avalanches album "We will always love you" which is excellent.

The last album I listened to was Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode.

"Gorgeous George" from Edwyn Collins.

Not a particularly accessible album, apart from "A Girl like You", but it's really quite good. The hidden track at the end is a bit of light relief.

Now playing

The last album I listened to was "The Best Punk Album In the World...Ever!"

Truelove's Gutter by Richard Hawley.

Had All them Witches- ATW on in the car earlier.

Got the gift of a turntable and a few records for Xmas. My girlfriend doesn't yet realise the can of worms she has opened!

Anyway, I've been flat out the last couple of days listening to my first vinyl records which were as follows (and in this particular order);

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Phil Spector - A Christmas Gift for you from Phil Spector
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

I've just purchased Boards of Canada - Music has the rights to Children on vinyl (on the journey down the rabbit hole already) and am really looking forward to listening to that when it arrives.
