Willie Nelson’s new album (his 77th solo studio album and his 154th album overall) is an album that focuses on the songs of Rodney Crowell, the latest in Nelson’s storied history of focusing entire albums on a single songwriter’s work. Willie Nelson and Rodney Crowell are two Texas singer-songwriters whose careers have intersected often since Crowell first heard Nelson’s earliest songs on the radio and saw his shows in Houston in the mid 1960s. Willie first recorded a Rodney Crowell song in 1983 and last did so 40 years later for 2024’s 'The Border'. Produced by Nelson’s longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and featuring an amazing backing band of Nashville gunslingers accompanying Nelson’s vocals and inspired guitar work on 'Trigger', the album handpicks 12 songs from the last 50 years, including the title track as a duet between Nelson and Crowell. From early tracks like 1976’s 'Banks Of The Old Bandera' (recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker) and 1981’s 'Shame On The Moon' (a hit for Bob Seger) to 90s tracks like 'What Kind Of Love', (co-written by Will Jennings based on a Roy Orbison melody), 'Stuff That Works' (co-written with Guy Clark), from early 2000’s cuts written for hit albums by Keith Urban and Tim McGraw to four cuts from Crowell’s beloved 2010s albums and a cut released as recently as 2021.

Reissue of Slowdive's much-adored but much-underappreciated 1991 debut record 'Just For A Day'. Following on from their initial stellar EPs, 'Just For A Day' is home to current live staple 'Catch The Breeze' , but also features the likes of 'Primal' and 'Ballad Of Sister Sue' - which are some of Slowdive's best work. If all you're familiar with is their most recent work and 'Souvlaki', then definitely give this blissed out masterpiece a go!

'Pygmalion' is the third studio album by Slowdive, originally released on 6 February 1995 by Creation Records. It was the group's final album before their disbandment in 1995 and later reformation in 2014, and their only album with Ian McCutcheon, who had replaced Simon Scott on drums.

'Pygmalion' is a significant departure from the shoegaze style that Slowdive had established in their previous two studio albums, 'Just for a Day' and 'Souvlaki'. The album features a more experimental sound tilted towards ambient electronic music, with sparse, atmospheric arrangements.

2. Crazy For You

Rightfully adorned as one of the holy trinity of shoegaze (alongside Ride's 'Nowhere' and My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'), 'Souvlaki' released at a time where the music press were moving away from shoegaze and towards Britpop and grunge. And whilst the universal plaudits for 'Souvlaki' have mainly been garnered in retrospect, it was always the shoegaze masterpiece that the 90s deserved. With every track being as gorgeous and brimming with exquisite instrumentation as the next, this record shows a band at their absolute peak and quite frankly it's perfect. If you're new to the genre and don't know where to start, then look no further - there's no going back after hearing those opening shimmers of 'Alison'!

The Dark Side Of The Moon’ is the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in March 1973. The album was partly developed during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite at London’s Rainbow Theatre several months before recording began. The new material was recorded in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.

Pink Floyd's ninth studio album, it topped the album charts in both the UK and US when released in 1975. Reflecting the band’s thoughts of the time on the music business and exploring themes of absence, 'Wish You Were Here' contains the classic cut 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', a tribute to founder member Syd Barrett, as well as the title track, considered one of Pink Floyd's greatest and most popular songs.

The tenth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in January 1977. It was recorded at the band's Britannia Row Studios in London throughout 1976 and early 1977, and was produced by the band themselves. 'Animals' is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the band's earlier work. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals.

1. Pigs On The Wing (Part One)
2. Dogs
3. Pigs (Three Different Ones)

The iconic 1977 Pink Floyd album has been remixed by James Guthrie. 'Animals' is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the bands earlier work. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the other. Although its been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the album still resonates today as our social and economic situation mirrors that of the time.

The eleventh studio album by the English rock band and one of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, 'The Wall' is renowned as Roger Waters' Rock Opera, dealing with abandonment and personal isolation. Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album contains the singles 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2', a No.1 hit in the UK and the US, 'Run Like Hell' and 'Comfortably Numb'. It was subsequently adapted for cinema by Alan Parker, featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role of Pink, a jaded rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society is symbolized by a wall.

'Let's Get Free' was the debut studio album by hip-hop duo Dead Prez, originally released in 2000. Critically acclaimed upon its release, 'Let's Get Free' was called a "return to politically conscious rap" and, "the most politically conscious rap since Public Enemy"; the duo's messages also earned them favorable comparisons with Brand Nubian, The Coup, Def Jef and X-Clan. The album's lyrics, performed in front of sparse beats are startlingly direct, militant, and confrontational. M-1 and stic.man excoriates the media, the music industry, politicians, and poverty, and urge their target audience to study socialism and ideas of black power. Rolling Stone gave the album four stars and lauded its equation of "classrooms with jail cells, the projects with killing fields and everything from water to television with conduits for brainwashing by the system".

The 2024 reissue of Sade’s “Soldier of Love” is a masterful revival of the band’s 2010 album, showcasing their timeless appeal and musical sophistication.

From the opening track, “The Moon and the Sky,” listeners are drawn into Sade’s signature blend of smooth jazz, soul, and R&B. The title track, “Soldier of Love,” remains a powerful anthem with its haunting lyrics and compelling rhythm. The reissue breathes new life into these tracks, highlighting the intricate instrumentation and Sade Adu’s velvety vocals.

“Morning Bird” and “Babyfather” continue to captivate with their emotional depth and lyrical beauty. The remastering process has brought out the nuances in these songs, making them feel fresh yet familiar. “Long Hard Road” and “Be That Easy” offer a more introspective vibe, with the enhanced audio quality allowing listeners to appreciate the subtlety of the arrangements.

Moving over to the second side, “Bring Me Home” and “In Another Time” are standouts, with the reissue emphasizing their lush production and poignant lyrics. “Skin” and “The Safest Place” close the album on a reflective note, rounding out the thoughtful decalogy nicely. 

The 2024 reissue of “Soldier of Love” is a testament to Sade’s enduring artistry. It not only preserves the essence of the original album but also elevates it, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience the magic of Sade in a new light. This reissue is a must-have for any music enthusiast’s collection.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Reaching no. 4 when it was released, and the first album with a fresh line up joining Sade Adu after a long hiatus; "Soldier Of Love" is a brave and adventurous departure from their original vibe - taking on more pop and modern jazz concepts with their trademark sultry style.

The 2024 vinyl reissue of Sade’s iconic album Love Deluxe is a masterful revival of a timeless classic. Originally released in 1992, this album has been a staple in the collections of soul and jazz enthusiasts for decades. The reissue, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, brings a new level of depth and warmth to the already lush and iconic soundscapes that Sade Adu and her band crafted over 30 years ago.

The album art, featuring the iconic black-and-white photograph of Sade, is beautifully reproduced, and the gatefold sleeve includes lyrics and additional artwork that fans will appreciate. The attention to detail in the presentation mirrors the care taken in the remastering process.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: From the ultra-warm sensuality of its opening track, through its funky and fiery core, a true classic in every sense of the word. Contains "Kiss Of Life" - sampled by MF Doom and more recently by DJ Absolutely Shit; the rest of the album is a deep soul lover's delight. One of those every-home-needs-one moments.

The 2024 vinyl reissue of Sade’s “Lovers Rock” has been remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. Tracks like “By Your Side” and “King of Sorrow” sound richer and more vibrant than ever. The bass is deeper, the vocals are clearer, and the overall warmth of the vinyl really brings out the best in Sade’s smooth, soulful voice. It’s like listening to the album for the first time all over again.

"Lovers Rock" is timeless album that blends elements of R&B, soul, and, Sade's love of the Lover's Rock genre. She does it with aplomb, crafting eleven soothing and mellow tracks that are perfect for any occasion.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Sade pays tribute to her childhood memories of Lover's Rock in spectacular fashion. Released in 2000 it was decidedly off trend for the time, but the courageous and unwavering Sade

A Tribe Called Quest weren't rap's biggest hit makers, but their signature numbers indeed fill this collection with style, eclecticism, and laid-back but deliberate flow; indeed, the group's stature seems to have grown since its 1998 breakup. The continued importance of their music and ideals for many hip-hop fans will only be enhanced by Anthology's 18 tracks (Q-Tip's recent hit "Vivrant Thing," from the Violator album is a bonus track).

Those unfamiliar with Tribe's achievement should have their heads and booties set into motion by the fellas' many moods, from the playful "Check the Rhime" and "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" to trenchant commentaries such as "Description of a Fool" and "Sucka Nigga." And with its inclusion here, the somewhat rare and all-the-way out "If the Papes Come" will doubtless re-establish itself as an underground favourite.​

In 1991, A Tribe Called Quest released The Low End Theory, a groundbreaking album that solidified their status as hip-hop legends. Building on the jazz-infused sound of their debut, the album featured sparse grooves and expertly chosen bass samples, with jazz bassist Ron Carter contributing to 'Verses from the Abstract.' DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad's minimalistic approach allowed Q-Tip and Phife Dawg's lyrical prowess to shine, showcasing their clever wordplay, humor, and social commentary. Tracks like 'Butter' and 'The Infamous Date Rape' addressed misogyny, while 'Rap Promoter' and 'Show Business' critiqued the music industry.

The album's production is consistently smooth, with standout tracks such as 'Check The Rhime' and 'Jazz (We've Got).' The posse cut 'Scenario,' featuring Leaders of the New School, is a legendary closer. The album's influence on hip-hop is undeniable, inspiring future artists like Kendrick Lamar and Outkast. The Low End Theory remains relevant and refreshing, a testament to Tribe's creativity and unflappable style. It's a masterful blend of thought-provoking lyrics and impeccable production, making it one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

Matt says: It can be disheartening sometimes to see just how far hip-hop has diverged from its original themes and message. Against a backdrop of regression, with violence and misogyny seemingly rife amongst current drill and trap styles; ‘The Low End Theory’ serves as a consistent reminder of the genre’s positive, innovative and socially-engaging roots.

Stankonia is the fourth studio album by André 3000 and Big Boi, known together as OutKast. While OutKast’s previous albums were considered to be laid-back, mellow efforts, Stankonia contains faster, more high-energy tempos, partially to reflect the “chaotic times” and drug-related incidents at the turn of the 21st century.

“B.O.B”, “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson” were huge hit singles. “Ms. Jackson” became the group’s first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. At the 2002 Grammy Awards, OutKast won Best Rap Album for Stankonia and Best Rap Performance by a duo or group for “Ms. Jackson”.

Throughout the years, Stankonia has been regarded by many to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time and went certified platinum throughout the globe.

Released by Epic Records on April 6, 2004, Good News For People Who Love Bad News offered a unique blend of existential lyricism and innovative soundscapes which helped Modest Mouse break out of the rock underground after more than a decade of existence.

Remastered for vinyl in opaque baby pink and opaque spring green, the package includes an alternate album cover, 8-page booklet and five ew remixes.

Norwegian artist girl in red started sharing her home-recorded songs as a teenager in 2017. Noted for her candid lyrics about the frustrations of everyday life and relationships, she emerged with catchy, guitar-based indie pop on early tracks, including her viral debut, "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend," and 2018's "We Fell in Love in October." In 2021, she released her first full-length and studio effort, if i could make it go quiet, hitting number two in Norway and charting on the Billboard 200. A sequel to her earlier October-themed anthem, "October Passed Me By," arrived in 2022.

Only God Was Above Us is the fifth studio album from Vampire Weekend. The album is inspired by and infused with the essence of the band’s birthplace of New York City, though recorded all over the world, from New York to Los Angeles to London and Tokyo. The album was produced by Ezra Koenig, and longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid. The album title is lifted directly from the album artwork, which is a photo taken from a Subway graveyard in New Jersey in 1988 by photographer Steven Siegel.

Only God Was Above Us includes universal themes ranging from the urge to question the world in which we live, and the quest for peace that can only be found through acceptance. The album is equal parts as direct yet complex as anything the band has ever released, as beautiful and melodic as they’ve ever sounded but also at their grittiest.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: There's something unmistakeable about the way Vampire Weekend form their songs, and it's been the case since they first burst onto the scene with their debut LP in 2008. 'Only God...' has all of the pitch-shifted guitar lines and rolling basslines of their early work with Koenig's vocals working away beautifully over the top, but there's a sense of a more mature songwriting drive, and results in possibly their greatest work yet.

Previously unreleased live concert from the Jimi Hendrix Experience from 1967. The concert, which took place at the Hollywood Bowl in California in August 1967, features the original Experience line up of Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass.

The concert followed their incendiary American live debut at the Monterey Pop Festival that June - and immediately preceded the US release of 'Are You Experienced', their debut album - and saw the Experience opening for The Mamas & The Papas.

Before a sold-out audience of 17,000 people, the Experience overwhelmed an unsuspecting audience with a superb show that encompassed his renditions of songs by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters as well as signature songs such as 'Purple Haze' and 'The Wind Cries Mary'. This recording has never been bootlegged and captures the Jimi Hendrix Experience at a unique moment in their illustrious career. 

'Live in Maui' is a live performance from 1970 featuring Hendrix, Billy Cox, and Mitch Mitchell at the height of their playing powers - restored and mixed by longtime Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer. 

Originally released on x2 CD and x3 LP in 2020 (to accompany the feature length documentary Music, Money, Madness… Jimi Hendrix In Maui), this new x1 LP Vinyl version presents highlights from two legendary live shows on 30th July 1970.

Bandwagonesque is the third album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, originally released in November 1991 on Creation Records.

'async' is the nineteenth solo studio album of Ryuichi Sakamoto and his first one in eight years since Out of Noise (2009).

The Gold Experience, released in 1995, was the first full-length Prince album to be credited to his unpronounceable symbol and was released at the most public, heated stage of his battle with the major label industrial complex. With the word “SLAVE” written on one cheek, Prince shined on the opulent ballads “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” and “Gold” and the defiant single “[eye] Hate U,” and the album earned widespread critical acclaim. Available as black vinyl double LP.

Rhythm and Stealth is the second studio album by Leftfield, originally released on 20 September 1999. It reached number 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize.

Matt Hendrickson of Rolling Stone said, "The album's jumble of epic sounds is a blessing and a curse: Rhythm and Stealth never develops a sustained, full-on groove, but it makes for a mind-melding headphone adventure."[10] John Bush of AllMusic said, "Leftfield has moved on with a grace and mastery of production seldom seen in the dance world."[4]

NME named it the 24th best album of 1999.

Leftism is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo (now solo project) Leftfield, originally released in 1995 on Columbia Records. It contained a mixture of new tracks along with reworked versions of previous Leftfield singles. The album contains guest spots from musicians not associated with dance music at the time such as John Lydon from Public Image Ltd. (and formerly of Sex Pistols) and Toni Halliday from Curve. The album was described as progressive house, although some journalists found that label too limiting, suggesting the album incorporated many genres.

On its release, the album was well received from the British press with positive reviews from the NME and Q. The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize in. Critics have praised the album as one of the major album-length works of dance music, with Q referring to it as "the first truly complete album experience to be created by house musicians and the first quintessentially British one".

In 1967, audiences at the Monterey Pop Festival experienced the powerful voice and stage presence of Janis Joplin, many for the very first time. Her work with Big Brother & The Holding Company and as a solo artist was a defining force in the changing soundscape of rock music in the 1960s. Her passionate vocals on "Piece of My Heart," "Cry Baby" and the posthumous chart-topper "Me and Bobby McGee" inspired generations of female singers to pour their hearts out. This Greatest Hits was originally released in 1973. A coloured vinyl version was pressed for Black Friday last year, and it now gets a standard black vinyl release.

SZA, one of the redefining voices of today’s contemporary music era, entered the music scene in 2012 with her first critically acclaimed EP, See.SZA.Run. Following that, she released S in 2013 and Z in 2014, both to rave reviews. In 2013, SZA signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, being the first female artist to join the label. SZA wrote and performed on Rihanna’s Anti Single “Consideration” in 2016 and helped write Nicki Minaj and Beyonce’s “Feelin Myself” in 2014.

Born in Maplewood, New Jersey as Solána Rowe, SZA grew up listening to classic and avant-garde jazz, alternative, and rap. She renamed herself finding inspiration within the Supreme Alphabet: the ‘S’ stands for savior or sovereign, the ‘Z’ for zig-zag, and the ‘A’ for Allah.

STAFF COMMENTS

Millie says: Raw vocals from SZA storms into the Alt-RnB with her incredible powerful sense of herself and her music influences. Having collaborated with Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper, SZA is one to definitely check out! Personal favourite song has to be Drew Barrymore, so good.

Deep breaths...headphones on...needle dropped. LCD Soundsystem are back. Seven years after their last long player, and six years since their premature retirement, NYC's era defining, life changing indie-dance/alt-disco/punk-funk legends are back on wax with their fourth LP "American Dream". As the live hats and staccato pulse of "Oh Baby" give way to tender arps, dramatic synth bass and Murhpy's crooning vocals, all seems well in the world once more. Imbued with the same cinematic quality with which "All My Friends" and "Someone Great" stole our hearts a decade ago, this album opener is vintage LCD. One track in and I'm already hooked. "Other Voices" pushes the tempo and picks up the intensity, fusing low slung bass, sizzling 4/4 and buzzing synthwork into the kind of hypnotic, disco-rock groover the world's been crying out for. Backwards guitar solos and strange synth riffs lend a little psychedelic colour while Murphy's vocals, ably supported by Nancy Wang and Korey Richey, retain all the sardonic lyricism of a particularly arch Larry David. Closing the first side out with shimmering synths, slow rolling bass and a moody piano, "I Used To" details a midlife moment of clarity before the squawking guitar, loose groove and Bowie-styled vocals of "Change Yr Mind" bring the punk to the funkshow. Tumbling toms, immersive reverb and distant vocals march around nagging violin and spectral arpeggios on "How Do You Sleep?", creating a gloomy Joy Division ambience which soon bursts into a slo-mo technicolour via chugging percussion and big bass blasts - Far from your average drug ballad, this is gonna bring the house down live! Blasting through the speakers on a tank full of squelching synthbass, snapping electronic percussion and Murphy's trademark half spoken/ half sung vocals, current single "Tonite" picks up the electroid baton from "Yeah" and "Pow Pow" and treats us to relentless barrage of Murphy's needle-point self referencial wit. Hilarious, danceable and deeply on point, this could well be an album standout. Presumeably inspired by his time working on Bowie's "Blackstar", "Call The Police" pairs an achingly sincere, occasionally bleak lyricism with anthemic rock drums and buzzing guitars, relishing in the bittersweet beauty of life. Electro-pop ballad "American Dream" continues the quest for understanding and acceptance in the tough climate of 2017 as Murphy leads us waltzing through the richest synth tones of his career. As we arrive at the final side Murphy et al blitz through the punk inspired rage of "Emotional Haircut", a hair-raiser in the style of early !!! or Outhud, before embracing the existential melancholy of "Black Screen", the medicated lullaby which closes the set with buzzing synth tones and delicate piano. Though this album may lack the immediacy of its predecessors, it offers infinite emotional depth, sincerity and faultless songwriting. Leave your skepticism at the door, this is the best LCD Soundsystem LP to date.

Our Review from 2004 - Get ready for a splendid new band, everybody. Their sound is a mixture of Canadian folk, new-wave disco beats, quirky David Byrne-ish vocals, Pixies' agression, Mercury Rev's sense of magic, big band drama, organic chamber pop and just an all round multi-instrumental sense of anything's possible, that you'll be setting up your own toy orchestra and playing along. Though talented players, and loads play on this record, it's this sense of fun and cookiness that pervades; this lot are clever but well beyond cool. It's music ripe with the joys of music-making. And the songs are really catchy. that always helps. Maybe chuck a bit of Sugarcubes and a bit of New Order even, into their melting pot, stir in with crashing operatic crescendos and tiny, sweet lullabies and you'll be a little bit nearer to the sound of this band. They're making a splash Stateside. It's obvious why.
