Field Lines Cartographer - Dreamtides
My new favourite Castles In Space release
Described by the artist as bring an album that "demands a lot of the listener. It's long and requires patience and stillness to get the best from it". in essence, 80+ minutes of blissful melodies and unsettling drones. It sounds as beautiful as it looks.

Roxy At 50
Roxy Music's debut album was released on the same day as The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. What a monumental day. Out of the two, this is my favourite.
Prog pop at it's finest - they say more on the first two tracks of this album than most bands manage in their entire career.
Looking at the band photos on the gatefold sleeve you can see why Graham Simpson didn't make it to album number 2.
Ziggy At 50
On a good day and when I'm in a "song" mood, this 9/10 album might scrape it into my Bowie top 3. It's certainly hitting the spot today.
Vinyl geeks - this is my early 80s bright-and-punchy black label pressing.

7" Singles - L
7" singles - From LCD Soundsystem to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Lots of LCD Soundsystem. My favourite items have to be Lemon Jelly's Rolled Oats single in a hessian sleeve and Soft Rock in a denim sleeve (with a condom hidden in the jeans pocket).

From The KLF to Kula Shaker.
Paul King wearing a vest shorts and red DMs, also a beautiful coloured vinyl version of Kraftwerk's Pocket Calculator.

7" Singles - J
From the long forgotten Jack to the Euros Childs/Norman Blake collaboration that was Jonny.
Not TOO many for me to listen to, so I was done with them in a morning. Plenty of singles by The Jam and Paul Jones doing easy listening covers of Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and Pretty Vacant.
There's also this lost classic, which was a massive hit in a parallel universe.
