John Lennon - Rock And Roll
John Lennon - Menlove Ave

Elton John - Elton John (3LP Mexican comp covering 1969-1973)

Scott Walker - The Moviegoer
Scott Walker - Any Day Now
Scott Walker - Stretch
Scott Walker - We Had It All

The Walker Brothers - No Regrets
The Walker Brothers - Lines
The Walker Brothers - Nite Flights

Steve Winwood - Arc Of A Diver

Bee Gees - 1st
Bee Gees - Horizontal

Orchestral Manœuvres In The Dark - Souvenir (box set) (listened to this on Spotify - the 90s singles actually sound pretty good now and there are some real gems among the previously unreleased tracks, but the mastering is terrible on the BBC Mermaid Theatre concert - flat mono sound when the original broadcast was in stereo. I checked my 2011 download from the iPlayer and it sounded much better. Someone screwed things up there).

Pet Shop Boys - Alternative
Pet Shop Boys - Format

of Arrowe Hill - 1914-1918

The Kinks/Ray Davies - Arthur (BBC Radio 4 Drama) (this was very effective when the actors sang along to the original Kinks backing tracks, a device which should have been used more. Not so sure about Ray's newly rendered doo-wop versions, however).

Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons
Cardiacs - A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window

The Apples In Stereo - Science Faire

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy

The Beatles - Abbey Road (50th anniversary remix) (couldn't detect too much of a difference here, although I guess there is a smidgen more punch and clarity)

Karkara – Crystal Gazer. Heavy psych/space rock with a vaguely Eastern flavour from, err, France. Pretty good: https://karkara.bandcamp.com/album/crystal-gazer

Jorja Chalmers – Human Again

The Whirlings – Earthshine

Humanfly – Live at the Brudenell, Leeds. Their last live show, still not entirely sure why they split, having just released the awesome Awesome Science: https://humanfly.bandcamp.com/album/humanfly-live-the-brudenell-leeds-31st-october-2013-final-show

Twelfth Night – A Night To Remember: Live At The Barbican 2012

Boards Of Canada – Tomorrow’s Harvest

Mishmaoul – Natacha Atlas
Strange Days – Natacha Atlas
Mishmaoul is a fabulous album, one I really enjoy these days. Strange Days is the new one and finds Natacha in a more jazzy mood at tines.

Ghosteen – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Starts off where Skeleton Tree left off. Not really a Bad Seeds album if you get what I mean, butt some real beauty here.

Somebody's Knocking – Mark Lanegan Band
Not as good as his last one (Gargoyle) which I thought was fabulous,but enjoying it all the same.

Henry May Long – Max Richter
So beautifully mournful.

The Paralian – Andrew Wasylyk
Definitely one of my albums of the year.

Also...

And Then...Along Comes – The Association
Insight Out – The Association
Birthday – The Association

Ma – Devendra Banhart

American Utopia – David Byrne

John Balance Enters Valhalla – Julian Cope

Gris-Gris – Dr John

Return To The 37th Chamber – El Michels Affair

Are You A Dreamer? - Death & Vanilla

Further – Richard Hawley

It-ness – Hox

Lux Prima – Karen O / Dangermouse

Self-Titled – Rose City Band

Flamende Herzen - Michael Rother

Cruelty Without Beauty – Soft Cell

Rose, My Rocket-Brain (EP) – Stereolab

Stratosphere – Tangerine Dream
Anchor

A New discovery of mine, Spaceship - The Last Days. Has a German, synthy feel to it - Cluster maybe from the 70's. Great stuff

Sons of Kemet - Your Queen is a reptile

Sleaford Mods - English Tapas. Have liked the odd track previously but not for me

Slaves - Sugar Coated Bitter Truth. Nearly worth a listen!

Slint - S/T. Only a couple of tracks from 94 I think. In keeping with what I've heard before (mainly Spiderland)

Shida Shahabi - Pretty in plums. Don't remember. I can tell you that I didn't delete it from my favourites after listening

A lot of Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Low, Heroes, Outside. Eno and Bowie did such great work together on Outside - Bowie really augmenting Eno's production skills with what he brings to the table in his songwriting. Certainly sounds more vital than Eno solo albums of the 90's which were ok (I'm thinking Nerve Net and The Shutov Assembly)

Everything Mark has released as Spaceship is great. One day I hope he'll add some more stuff over on TMA too: https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/user/397

Have you heard his first vinyl LP yet? Not many left:

No I haven't - just 2018 one. Will soon rectify that though.
