SHXCXCHCXSH - QQQO EP
(Mord, 2025)

A new techno record needs at least one seriously *disorienting* track or gtfo.

The Cult - Dreamtime LP
(Beggars Banquet, 1984)

Albums by The Cult are always uneven affairs, but now in my dotage, I find this one listenable in a way that my unelderly self did not.

New Order - Movement LP
(Factory, 1981)

Yeah, I like the New Order album that sounds the most like Joy Division.

Danielle Dax - Jesus Egg That Wept LP / mini-album
(Awesome Records, 1984)

I feel like my '80s teen cohort must've been borderline insufferable, listening to the weirdest shit we could find that still qualified as music.

Cabaret Voltaire - Listen Up With Cabaret Voltaire 2xLP
(Mute, 1990)

I was introduced to CV during the Crackdown/Microphonies/Drinking Gasoline glory years and steadily losing interest in the rest of their 80s output. Buying this comp was a hail mary that paid off.

Automatic - Is It Now? LP
(Stones Throw, 2025)

They're back with a renewed vitality. You always hope an anticipated release doesn't suck, and that expectation is more than met here. Great stuff.

Jason Leach - Death To Vinyl One 12"
(Death To Vinyl, 2006)

JL's just an exemplar of what do with things that make noise. I'd never not listen to literally any idea he had. This one, comprising 4 live recordings, is for those who think a dancefloor deserves danger.

Tubeway Army - Replicas LP
(Beggars Banquet, 1979)

This here and the GN albums up thru Telekon changed popular music irreversibly. Many chased the sound, but nobody could catch him in those glory years.
