Nite City - ST 1977
Rock. Lost artifact from Ray Manzarek navigating the punk/new wave era. Warm guitars, roomy drums & layered keyboards/synths glow. Surprised this crate-digger. Overlooked gem curiosity.

Peter Baumann - Romance 76 1977
Electronic. Debut-departs TD. Less cosmic than TD, more like the sound of walking alone in the dark. Side A-Berlin synth magic & Side B-orchestral electronics. Quietly melodic.

Someone is threatening to block a fully Canadian‑funded bridge that Michigan badly needs, using arguments that don’t align with the project’s financing or purpose and tying it to unrelated trade grievances....Gordie Howe is rolling over in his grave.

Mazzy Star-Among My Swan 1996
Psych Folk. Hope Sandoval barely raises her voice. Warm but sparse w/ dusty acoustic guitars, brushed drums & lingering organ swells. Quietly missed in ‘96. Best heard end to end.

Ultravox - Vienna 1980
New Wave. Midge Ure arrives. Quiet seismic moment in synth‑driven music. Showed electronic could more atmospheric-slow-tempo synths. Essential electronic LP. Plays best front-to-back.
