#NowPlaying for #5debutalbums8084

Virginia Astley
“From Gardens Where We Feel Secure”
1983

This beautiful LP is the opposite of a “Friday night record”. Though it sounds wonderful - as always - on this particular Friday night.

David Sylvian

Fun fact: Session guitarist on this LP, Phil Palmer, is the nephew of Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks.

Last one of the night for #5debutalbums8084

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
“Rattlesnakes”

This one lives close to the record player for obvious reasons.

Next up for #5debutalbums8084

Tom Tom Club
“Tom Tom Club”
1981

Sounding pulsatingly fresh.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s5

Serge Gainsbourg
Histoire De Melodie Nelson
1971

Lovely arrangements by Jean-Claude Vannier, wonderful bass guitar, some yelps and the unmistakeable voice of a man who smoked his fags right down to the butt.

Boz Scaggs
Silk Degrees
1976

This is smooth as.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

Lou Reed
Coney Island Baby
1975

The opening two tracks feel like we’re back in Transformer territory. Must have been quite welcome after MMM.

David Bowie
“Heroes”
1977

This LP is more fitting for the Bowie Krautrock article in the current Electronic Sound magazine.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

David Bowie
Young Americans
1975

Listening to this while reading the Bowie Krautrock piece in Electronic Sound magazine. Not quite the right album choice, but it’ll do. I’ll stick Heroes on next.

Can
Ege Bamyasi
1972

Kosmische funk greatness from the Germans.
March 18, 2025 at 7:11 PM
#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

T.Rex
Electric Warrior
1971

Any one of these tracks could’ve been a hit single. Myself I love “Planet Queen”.

Neu!
Neu!
1972

Now matter how much you think you’re prepared for it, the sound of the pneumatic drill at the start of “Negativland” always sh*ts me up.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

David Crosby
‘If I Could Only Remember My Name’
1971

This is one of those twofer LPs. Bundled with Nash’s debut album. Bargain. Love the illustrations of the artists on these ‘2Originals’ series releases. See how Crosby stares at you disapprovingly.

Van Morrison
‘Moondance’
1970

Superior tunes and some lovely horn sounds add up to a wonderfully soulful rock/pop LP.
March 9, 2025 at 8:10 PM
#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

Simon & Garfunkel
‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’
1970

Lovely warm sounding LP. Especially on “The Only Living Boy In New York”.

Interesting interview with Roy Halee here about working with S&G: www.analogplanet.com/content/vete...

Santana
‘Abraxas’
1970

This is Karyn Peel’s copy that I’ve got here. Wonder if she’s any relation to John or maybe Emma.
March 4, 2025 at 8:22 PM
#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
‘Déjà Vu’
1970

Stills’ “Carry On” and Neil Young’s “Helpless” are, to these ears of mine, the super standouts on this wonderful LP.
March 4, 2025 at 7:18 PM
#NowPlaying for #5albums70s4

Alice Coltrane
‘Ptah, The El Daoud’
1970

A wonderful way to start this semi-final. Not going to try to describe this in words. I can’t. Just gonna listen.
March 2, 2025 at 9:25 PM
The #5albums70s3 selections are back in the hutch and this new pile has been fetched up from the ‘drawing room’ for consideration for #5albums70s4

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3

Japan
‘Quiet Life’
1979

Another LP in this semi with a German connection - released on Berlin’s Hansa Records.

Last play for this semi. Then it’s make up your mind time.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3

Bob Marley & The Wailers
‘Kaya’
1978

Lots of strong competition in this semi, even from themselves with ‘Exodus’ and ‘Live’ included as well.
