“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.

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
“Rattlesnakes”

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
