Now playing - ABC ‘The Lexicon Of Love’.

1982. A pop masterpiece, sonically sculpted by Trevor Horn. 37 minutes long -
All killer no filler etc etc

Also some seriously fly bass lines and Tessa Niles on BVs.

What’s not to love?!?

Now playing - Elbow ‘Little Fictions’.

I find that once I start with Elbow nothing else fits the bill. Odd.

Now Playing - The Neal Morse Band ‘Innocence And Danger’.

In a bit of a Morse hole having starts with The Neal Morse Band the other day. Once you start it’s very hard to stop. The lad is prolific, or should that be proglific?

Now playing - Neal Morse Band ‘The Grand Experiment’.

Bombast, twiddly widdly wig outs, uplifting tunage.

Once again Mr. Morse and his posse tick all the boxes.

@witewulf ah, the old C/C Continuation/Closure…. Listened to it quite a bit when it came out but not revisited. Which sounds like a great excuse to do so now. Fresh ears and all that!

Now playing - Porcupine Tree ‘ The Incident’.

Never got massively into this one - more likely to put on ‘Deadwing’ or ‘In Absentia’.

Now playing - Marillion ‘An Hour Before It’s Dark’.

I’ll admit to being biased but let’s face it, the boys are consistently hitting it out of the park.

Never before has the end of the world as we know it been put to such uplifting music.

Because who doesn’t love a hammered dulcimer?

Still contains some monster moments from Steve R.

Gotta love ‘em.

Now playing - Genesis ‘A Trick Of The Tail’

It’s been a Genesis kinda day, Nursery through to Lamb and now moving onto the post Gabriel stuff. Which I had ignored for many years because ….well it’s post Gabriel. Nuff said I thought.

I’m not saying I was wrong, merely that I have adjusted my thoughts given the available evidence.

Now playing - Yes ‘Relayer’. Because I’ve just done The Yes Album onwards. Sometimes I forget just how much I love this music.

In the midst of an Underworld phase at the moment. Which is joyous as the boys do provide a wealth of tunage to sink one’s ears into.

Now playing - Rod Stewart ‘Gold’. A double disc of classic early 70’s stuff. Absolutely killer. The voice in full effect.

In another reality the Rod Stewart / Jeff Beck partnership continued and occupied the space that Led Zeppelin holds in this one.

Now playing - Von Hertzen Bros ‘Red Alert In The Blue Forrest’

Great stuff from the Finnish brothers. I keep forgetting about them and then getting excited when I remember they exist. They have a gift for the epic that I throughly endorse.

Now playing - Bob Marley and The Wailers ‘Live’.

Joyous grooves for a Saturday morning.

Now Playing - Tangerine Dream ‘Tyger’.

One of those rare TD albums with vocals on. Sat next to Underwater Sunlight, it’s one of my favourite TDs and let’s be honest there’s plenty to choose from!
