Gris-Gris – Dr John
Remedies – Dr John
Gumbo – Dr John
Babylon – Dr John
I'd always liked what I'd heard by Dr John and had been meaning to check him out more thoroughly for some time, but it was only this year that I finally got round to it. I'm glad I did.
Phantom Radio – Mark Lanegan Band
Mark does Joy Divsion!
Clues – Robert Palmer
I hadn't heard this one in a long, long time. Looking For Clues. Johnny & Mary. Such great singles.
Endless Nights – Vacant Lots
This isn't going to win any prized for originality – a bit of Stones here, Velvets there, etc – but it is hugely enjoyable. And then there's that great Alan Vega appearance on the closing track.
Deutsche Elektronische Musik 3: Experimental German Rock & Electronic Music 1971-81 – V/A
Sadly this is the final instalment in this Soul Jazz series. Most of the stuff here is new to me – I particularly like the Achim Reichel track. It's like a big brother of Blurt!
NME Singles of 1994 – V/A
Lots of old singles to enjoy here – TGU, Fun-da-mental, Underworld, Pulp, etc. And Girls & Boys is such a classic pop single.
