Neil Young – Le Noise after initial doubts about this, thinking it was all a bit worthy but dull, this has grown on me a great deal and it’s getting repeated listens now, yet another classic to add to his canon
Robert Plant – Band Of Joy another classic, probably a bit dadrock for your average Stooges fan, but if you want a good Sunday afternoon listen this will fill that niche very nicely
Crippled Black Phoenix – I, Visionary yet again CBP deliver a classic, progpostrock with more than a dash of Floyd, includes a Journey cover, from the early Journey period I assume, it’s a lovely tune, makes me wonder what those first few Journey lps are like
Opeth – Still Life always think this gets ignored, imho it’s the best allround Opeth cd, probably it’s problem , a lack of a classic outstanding Opeth tune [ like Purple & Fireball ]
Ramones – Road To Ruin probably the point at which the Ramones became less than essential, still a bloody good listen though
Sleep’s Holy Mountain – not as monolithic as the mighty Jerusalem/Dopesmoker and all the better for it
Metallica – S/t dug this to see if still cared and found much to my surprise that I enjoyed it muchly, going to try St Anger this week, I doubt that will be as much fun
Ref compression wars - listen to this and Death Magnetic to see that listening habits have changed in the last 20 years.
Max Richter – The Blue Notebooks
Onehirix Point Never –Rifts
Rollins Band – Hard Volume, The End of Silence

Cathedral – The Guessing Game
The Cult – Love in a big box of goth loveliness, 4 discs is more Cult than you really need but it’s all rather spiffy imho
Gas – Nah und Fern
Set Fire To Flames –telegraphs in negative/mouths trapped in static
