Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge (original mix rather than Oldfield's subsequent remixes)

Pink Floyd - Meddle

The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA (their purest surfing album, half full of instrumentals including a couple of great Dick Dale covers)

Genesis - And Then There Were Three (the band don't seem to particularly rate this one, but it is packed full of great musical ideas, including the aggressively strange time signature of opening song 'Down & Out' and the Tony Banks melodic tour-de-force 'Burning Rope').

C.O.B. - Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart

Kraftwerk - 1 & 2 (played off a battered old Vertigo double vinyl with spaceship labels. The second album, with its avant garde 'padding', already feels like their Neu!2 even when the needle doesn't jump all over the place)

Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come (just love 'Sandman Song' with its gorgeous melody and spooky references to UFO sitings out at sea)

Madness - Absolutely (new deluxe reissue - amazing value and a textbook example of how these things should be done)

Deep Purple - Fireball (always liked this more than Machine Head)

Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints (this album seemed to get dismissed as an inferior rehash of 'Graceland' but I love it more. Some haunting songs and outstanding contributions from the Brazilian collaborators, especially Milton Naskimento on 'Spirit Voices')
