Spiritualized, Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, 1997
Ladies And Gentlemen was a highlight of my late 90s, but in 1997, the year it came out, I’d shifted allegiance away from Spiritualized, in part I think because I hadn’t really enjoyed Pure Phase all that much (back then). … Continue reading
Nick Drake, Time Of No Reply, 1986 (recorded 67-74)
Well, here we go with another album of sadsackery, depressing, morose, exquisitely beautiful, loner music. This is yet more of that music which haunts my nineties reminiscences. This one is not really even an album proper. It was originally included … Continue reading

Smog, Red Apple Falls, 1997
I bought this on CD in 1997, the year of its release, and again in 2008 on vinyl. The clarity of the CD recording was always exquisite but the quality on the vinyl seems to take it to the next … Continue reading
Radiohead, Ok Computer, 1997
It’s been a while since I gave this a serious play. I picked up a vinyl copy in 2008. Hardly play it these days, and I’m now strongly aware of the datedness of this record. Not so much in sound … Continue reading
The Cure, Disintegration, 1989
There is no album in my collection that has been played as much as this one. This was my falling asleep album for years. I played it at night until it became a ritual, night after night, Disintegration was my … Continue reading
