Zero 7: The Garden
No-Man: Schoolyard Ghosts

I'm listening to that now too. Fantastic album. One of my favourite bands.

Also listening to John Foxx - Assembly. Not yet having any of Johns studio albums (stil listening to this years 3) I've just picked this up & there are some great songs in there.

Be interesting to learn what you think are the stand-out tracks on Assembly, Scott, as someone who comes to them with fresh ears

I saw them at their first gig abroad ever!
Proud to say it was at my homecountry. With a fantastic Steven Wilson among them.
Also curious what you think are the best tracks on the 'Assembly' album.

Front 242 "Official Version".

Forgot I even had this. Brilliant!!

Various new things:

Pet Shop Boys "Yes" - pretty damned good, and I really love "Did You See Me Coming?" despite Radio 2 playing it several times each shift.

Depeche Mode "Sounds of the Universe" - a grower I think. Great sounds, interesting lyrics, and "Wrong" is song of the year so far for me.

Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs "How To Get To Heaven From Scotland" - my new album of the year.

Bill Callahan "Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle" - another grower, already genius in places, he "used to be darker, then [he] got lighter, then [he] got dark again".

Martin I have heard Johns first 4 solo albums but not for over 20 years so I suppose it is with fresh ears. I will buy them but there just seems to be so many good new albums being released just now
Stand out tracks for me other than the singles on Assembly are Sitting At The Edge Of The World , In Mysterious Ways , Morning Glory & The Garden. The slow ones Showing my mellower side.

The Who - The Ultimate Collection

Not heard her 'Short Circuits' album, Garry. Have you heard 'Terror Tales' by 'The Old Sea Hag'? It's sublime.

Today I'm revisiting the first three Ultravox albums 'Ultravox!', 'Ha! Ha! Ha!' and 'Systems of Romance'.
