Elton John - Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player
The Beach Boys - The SMiLE Sessions (made it to the end of this - the final disc entirely devoted to the Good Vibrations sessions never flags in interest. Fascinating to hear Brian at work in the studio and totally focused on what every musician is doing).
Thomas Dolby - A Map Of The Floating City (very pleasing new LP after a gap of 20 years. Saw him play live last weekend and the new material sounded great live, although some of the early classics - 'Airwaves', 'Leipzig', 'Screen Kiss' etc. - were disappointingly absent from the setlist).
Genesis - Duke
The Third Eye Foundation - In Version (first play of this in around 15 years, Matt Elliot's remix job on a few of his Bristolian friends. Closing Flying Saucer Attack collaboration 'Way Out Like Dave Bowman' does what it says on the tin quite brilliantly for close to 20 minutes).
Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark - History Of Modern Part 1 EP (useful CD which collects all the different parts of the latest album's title track and all its B-sides in one place).
Pet Shop Boys - Alternative
Bee Gees - 1st
