Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express/ RadioactivityMan Machine/ Computer World/ The Mix. What can you say that hasn't already been said?? Wonderful records and recording (I don't own remasters, just the original vinyls, and they sound awesome.) Also stumbled across a great documentary on youtube if you've 3 hours to kill, Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wHGXQKPSNg
The only thing about the prog that annoyed me is the inclusion of Edwin Pouncey. He is a weird choice for talking head about Kraftwerk, as he seems to be damning the band by faint praise most of the time. Whereas some guy called Mark Pendergrast is spot on in his observations, as is David Stubbs mostly (I'd not seen his fizzog before, he looks like the editor of Kerrang Phil Alexander crossed with later day Phil Oakey)

Stranglers - Black and White / No More Heroes/ The Raven/ Norfolk Coast
Nice Breakdown of B&W by John Robb here...

Membranes - Dark Matter, Dark Energy / Inner Space, Outer Space Remixes
Didn't realise there was a remix of the aforementioned. It's not bad, some great interpretations, esp loved Youth and Mark Stewert versions.
Inner... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwhN-cO-_xY&list=OLAK5uy_mNIvMtEfWi_FJxSHP_qunsVwazt2LlnKI

Cat Power - Moon Pix/ You Are free

Eno - Thursday Afternoon/ Before and After Science

Caribou - Swim
This is a great record, like an old friend when it pops up :)

Simple Minds - Reel to Reel Cacophony
Simply their best record as far as I'm concerned

Slayer - Reign In Blood
Ditto above.

Mugstar - Sun Broken
Ditto x 3. Love the way the first track channels Oneida, and the second Shellac. Didn't realise it was out of print though. Was horrified to discover my disc has a huge scratch through tracks 3 and 4 causing much skippage. Would love to replace it :(

Wire - Pink Flag

Have a better one, and keep safe. xx
