Wild Horses
I'm still unsure how I've come to love Prefab Sprout so much. There is something so genuinley emotionally raw fromm their songs. There's usually a couple of tracks on an album that nearly bring me to tears. I think they've been in my life now for about 10 years and Jordan the comeback is only the Third that I own. First it was Swoon and the difficuly pop of Dont Sing and Cue Fanfare. Then on to Steve McQueen. I havent pushed it, I've almost let each album come to me when

Another film find. This came thumping out of the muscle masterpiece that was 'Live Lies Bleeding' Such a great sounding record - 1978!

The Affectionate Punch
I've been listening to a lot of Geordie Greep recently and then came across this track after deciding to a little dive into The Associates (trevor Horn book again). There definitley feels like there is some energy from this that has made its way through to him.

Duck Rock
It was about two years ago that I first heard this album. Id of course heard buffalo girls when I was little but it was just there in my memory as a novelty. It was Double Dutch that brought me to it. I'd come back again after reading the Trevor Horn biogrophy. What an album. It sounds incredible still. From the serene opening of Obotala, there is so much varity and invention in 43 short minutes. Love those two tracks but there is something so beautiful about Soweto! Now

Pekka and Oldfield
Found this through a you tube video of George Prior shopping for records in Guildford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H54Pq7lIw2M Most of it wasnt for me but I checked out the Pekka release, heard some of it and bought the album. One week later a pretty decent copy arrived at my door. There were two other moments that I really loved, check out tyheend of track 2, Hands Straighten the Water! And at 53 seconds in the last track there is another gorgeous vocal peice that is al
