Great pick man, I used to really be into June of 44 a few years back. How 'bout them ships? Really good, I used to be really into this album a few years back, now I'm revisiting it and loving it. I love this really, really dark folk stuff. It makes me want to just lay and bed and listen to it. It may not be healthy, but I really dig that depressing sound. Even the sort of sound collages at the beginning and end of the album are amazing. And man, just the opening to "Fall Apart" sets me up for the sadness to come. |

Marine Girls - Lazy Ways (1983) The kind of twee indie pop that gets me all gooey. Features a pre - Everything But The Girl Tracey Thorn. Recommended to fans of Young Marble Giants and Camera Obscura.

Finally got my turntable fixed up and back working again and with good timing too as there's a record fair in town next weekend. Out of the very few records I currently just happen to have I've been listening to these two beauties today:
Various Artists - 2001: A Space Odyssey Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1968) To be honest I've never seen the film but this stands up really well as a standalone album. Richard Strauss's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' is one of the most instantly recognisable classical pieces ever composed and there's the more modern and experimental György Ligeti compositions which are really great. This sounds bloody beautiful on vinyl. John Williams - John Williams' Symphonic Suites (1982) A collection of some of John Williams' soundtrack compositions for E.T., Star Wars and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Brilliant stuff, especially the Star Wars pieces where's there's some nice weird sound effects thrown in.
