A tough record to peg – but a great one too! Wally Badarou plays a range of spacey keyboards that include synclavier, mini moog, and prophet 5 – all over some beats that are a mix of electro and Carribean rhythms – in a style that's part jazzy, part new agey, and part 80s groove! ...

Country Home (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Island/Big Pink (South Korea), 1970. New Copy ... About March 25, 2021
A fantastic album of funky folk, or folky funk – but maybe no surprise, since the great Jess Roden is in the group on vocals! Roden always seems to be attached to music that finds its own sort of groove – and that's definitely the case here, as acoustic instrumentation is used in ways ... (Rock) read more CD

One of John Cale's greatest moments as a solo artist – a wonderfully dark record that also features lots of great guitar from Chris Spedding, plus electronics from Brian Eno too!

A record that's maybe more of a 90s classic than anyone might have thought at the time – in part because of the tragic early passing of the group's lead singer, which maybe gave The Cranberries a way to freeze a bit in time, and stay strong before running out of steam!

Island, 1980. Used ... $2.99
The last studio album issued by Bob Marley during his too-short lifetime – and the kind of record that continued to keep him at the top of the global scene – not just a reggae star, but a worldwide superstar who would have kept the fire burning for decades!

Island (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... About April 28, 2021
A fuller effort than the initial outing from John & Beverly Martyn – but a record that has an even more unified spirit, and an approach that takes the acid folk ethos strongly into the 70s! Arrangements are mostly by John and Paul Harris – and feature light piano lines that bring ... (Rock) read more CD
Island (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... About April 28, 2021
The first album John Martyn cut with wife Beverly – a nicely laidback effort that has the two of them sharing vocal chores, trading off from tune to tune in a really great way! We like John's work so much we're surprised how much we welcome Beverly here – but she really keeps the ... (Rock) read more CD

Life Is Something Special (voc, glimmer, special edition, acapella) ... 12-inch Island, 1982. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the crowning moments of the Paradise Garage scene – when the sound of the underground burst out loud on the airwaves, and Larry Levan found himself working this big single for Island Records. The cut's offered here in an original vocal version, a special club mix, and a very cool ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Island/Universal (Japan), 1968. New Copy ... About April 29, 2021
Not Kurt Cobain's Nirvana, but a totally great effort from the late 60s Brit group of the same name – true pop psych geniuses, and able to work here with a sound that's nice and trippy, but never self-indulgent! These guys manage to get nice and spacey with some of the arrangements and ... (Rock) read more CD
Island/Universal (Japan), 1969. New Copy ... About April 29, 2021
Brilliant work from Nirvana – a duo who bring together so many wonderful elements of late 60s Brit pop – from weird trippy touches to tuneful melodies to superb full arrangements – handled here by giants Mike Vickers, Johnny Scott, and Tony Visconti! There's a bounce and a push ... (Rock) read more CD
Island/Universal (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... About April 29, 2021
Tremendous! This album is one of the few relics cut by the British group Nirvana – a late 60s ensemble that is not to be confused with the more famous Seattle one – a really cool combo who are way more than the usual pop psych of the time – and have so many great twists and turns ...

Island, 1989. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Classic late 80s British soul from Mica Paris – an early effort produced by the L'Equipe team of Peter Vale and Miles Waters – who also handle most of the instrumentation on the set as well! Mica duets with Will Downing on the track "Where Is The Love" – a pretty sweet ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Island/Get On Down, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 19.98
The King Kong of dub records, and we're not just saying that because of the freaky deaky cover image of a super ape with a belly full of roast fish, cornbread and makka stepping on a croaking lizard with a tree in one hand and a "tree" in the other! Classic Lee Perry and as essential of ... (Reggae) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Portishead ... LP Go Beat, 1997. New Copy 2LP ... $24.99 26.99
There's a nicely cinematic image on the cover of this second album from Portishead – and the sound is very cinematic too – a real genre-setting standard for the kinds of new territory the group and some of their key contemporaries began to explore in the 90s! The overall style is a bit ... (New Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Island, 1983. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $29.99
An 80s classic from Will Powers – a number that snaps along with a slightly stark little groove – almost post-punk electric in approach, but a bit more in a clubby style. The vocals are spoken – as if in an instruction record – and the track crawls along in a slow but ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Propaganda —
Secret Wish ... LP Island, 1985. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the great lost moments in the career of Trevor Horn – and the only real full album from Propaganda! The group have an approach that has bits of the Art of Noise love of sound texture, and which also seems to borrow a bit from the German electronics of the early 80s – but fuses ...
