For one reason or another (mainly fatherhood) I didn't listen to as much new music as last year. And much of what I did listen to was played either as an accompaniment to WFH, or during quiet moments sat with a very young baby between 5 and 7am. Neither of which are conducive to really … Continue reading Best Albums of 2022

Best Albums of 2021
Well, what a year. We started off in the depths of a lockdown, and as the year draws to a close it looks like we could be headed that way again, as the pandemic maintains its strangle-hold on day to day life. But throughout all the ups and downs of 2021, there's always been music. … Continue reading Best Albums of 2021
Ten of the best – 1996
Having recently noticed the 25-year anniversaries of some classic albums, I realised just how many of my favourites were released in 1996. So here's ten of them.

The list is a constant work in progress, so if you have a recommendation for something that should be on there, I'd love to hear it. AceMo – All My Life Picked this up from a Fact … Continue reading This year I will be mostly listening to…
Albums in heaviest rotation in 2020
It seems foolish to try and do justice to 2020 in a paragraph - a year of such huge upheaval, disprution, loss, and in many cases...extended periods of boredom and inactivity. So what better way to reflect than by looking back at the records that have provided the soundtrack to the year? For one reason … Continue reading Albums in heaviest rotation in 2020
Squarepusher – Ten of the Best
This is a completely arbitrary format, as no artist's discography can be reduced to ten tracks, nevermind someone with as varied and continually experimental output as Squarepusher. That's why this is Ten of the Best, not 'The Best Ten'. Sure, everyone's got their own list and I could do another ten for Squarepusher sometime, but … Continue reading Squarepusher – Ten of the Best
