Kind Hearts And Coronets (1949). Director Robert Hamer. Well that’s one way of saving money on your production, gave one of main performers take on eight roles!

No. 244. Keith Jarrett - The Melody At Night, With You (1999). Standout track - I Loves You, Porgy. I have many different recordings of this track, but this is the most melancholic. Mr Jarrett never fails to deliver.

No. 243. Robert Fripp - Exposure (1979). Standout track - Chicago. The obvious choice would be the Here Comes The Flood. This is the original’79 version, I will get round to some of the other 599 other versions by Mr Fripp.

No. 242. Vangelis - Opera Sauvage (1979). Standout track - L’Enfant. Vangelis at his peak for me. A consistently good album that flows beautifully and is a thoroughly engaging. Not a single gated drum to be heard here!!

No. 241. The Blue Nile - Hats (1989). Standout track - Saturday Night. What a delightfully upbeat album closer. Sometimes it’s the little things that give you faith that there is good in the world and all will be OK.

No. 240. Floating Points - Crush (2019). Standout track - Requiem For CS70 And Strings. There’s no doubting young Mr Shepherd certainly has the skills to pay the bills. Returning to this I find it even more enjoyable than ever.

No. 239. Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (2009). Standout track - Olympians. Still makes me chuckle, knowing that millions of people watched the opening ceremony of the London 2012 olympics without knowing they’d heard Fuck Buttons.

No. 238. Ann Peebles - This Is Ann Peebles (1969). Standout track - Steal Away. Plenty of covers, but none rise above crowd here. Steal Away is the only one that stands out fir me, with a strong composed vocal performance from Ms Peebles.

No. 237. Bill Evans -Everybody Digs (1959). Standout track - Peace Piece. Probably Mr Evan’s defining composition. A masterful meditation, every note carefully considered. A great album all round but this particular track is special.

No. 236. Neil Young - Freedom (1989). Standout track - Crime In The City (Sixty To Zero). 1989 could be considered to have been year of revitalisation for ‘old’ rockers, Young, Cale, Reed & The Stones all released the best album in years.

No. 235. A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Set Me Free (1989). Standout track - The Slow Descent Has Begun. AWVFTS is not for everyone slo-mo orchestral compositions perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with book.

No. 235. Carmel - Set Me Free (1989). Standout track - I’m Over You. This trio led by the powerful voice of Ms McCourt never really made a consistently great album, and this is no exception. But occasionally they did deliver magic like I’m Over You.

No. 234. The Black Dog- Further Vexations (2009). Standout track - You’re Only SQL. Album number 4 from TBD v2. More propulsive than the introspective Radio Scarecrow, but still also full of great hooks.

No. 233. Peace Orchestra - Peace Orchestra (1999). Standout track - Double Drums. Mr Kruder only made one album as P.O. but it’s a jolly good one. Plenty of dope beats, lots of room to breathe and more than enough flourishes to keep it interesting.

No. 232. Isaac Hates - Hot Buttered Soul (1969). Standout track - By The Time I Get To Phoenix. There may be only four tracks on this album, but each one is bloody marvellous. The winner here though has to be ‘By The Time…’ 18 minutes of pure Isaac.

No. 231. Nina Simone - And Piano (1969). Standout track - I Get Along Without You Very Well. My personal favourite album by Ms Simone, up close and personal. If you’re looking for a way in to the great lady try this or 1959’s Jazz As Played In…

No. 230. Tindersticks - Simple Pleasure (1999). Standout track - I Know That Loving. A superb album from Nottingham’s most miserable buggers. In my opinion not a bad track on here, but Loving is my personal favourite.
