John Fahey
Yellow Princess (LP sleeve edition)Vanguard/Comet (Italy), 1968. Used
An album as lovely as its title, and John Fahey's 8th record – mostly solo guitar, but with guest drums and bass on 2 cuts – "March For Martin Luther King" and "Dance of The Inhabitants Of The Invisible City Of Bladensburg". The sound is extremely magical – ... CD (Folk/Country CD)
Sony, 1971. Used
Solid jamming from Mountain – one of the tightest guitar-based groups of their day, and hard rockers that could serve up a nice dose of soul!

Paul McCartney & Wings
Venus & Mars (with bonus tracks)MPL/Parlophone (UK), 1975. Used
Maybe the greatest moment ever from Paul McCartney & Wings – a set that features killer hits and lesser-known gems – all woven into a fantastic 70s sonic tapestry! The production and presentation of the record are wonderful – the whole thing was virtually a pop art piece when ... CD (Rock CD)
Kraftwerk
Electric CafeWarner, 1986. Used
A much later but no less great effort from the originators of the electro sound. All the hallmarks are still intact: synth drums, beeping and chirping synths, vocoded vocals, and cold string patches. Six tracks: "Boing Boom Tschak", "Techno Pop", "Musique Non Stop", ... CD (Rock CD)

Def Jam, 2012. Used
Life is good, and so is Nas – and that's an understatement – as he's one of the most vital MCs of the early 90s onward!

Daft Punk
Random Access MemoriesColumbia, 2013. Used
Daft Punk have always worn their love of pop, disco, electro, soul and fusion pretty proudly on their robot sleeves – and bless 'em, they're paying more earnest tribute than ever before on Random Access Memories – featuring homages to and collaborations with Chic guitarist/pop soul ... CD (New Grooves CD)
Nirvana
In UteroDGC, 1993. Used
Nirvana's final album – one that's as poetic as it is heavy, and as beautiful as it is brutal! In Utero's legacy gets greater and greater over the years, not only because its mastermind extinguished himself not too long after it's release, but more than that, it's simply one of the greatest ... CD (Rock CD)

Stelvio Cipriani
Dov'e AnnaDigitmovies (Italy), 1976. Used
A set that was originally created in the prime electric years of the great Stelvio Cipriani – but one that has him working on acoustic piano throughout – often using weird effects and production elements to change up the sound of the instrument! There's a great main theme to the ... CD (Soundtracks CD)
Mike Lebrun
ShadesBeakerbox, 2018. Used
Sweet reeds from Mike Lebrun – a musician who's way more than just another funky saxophone player! Mike's got a great ear for the overall sound of his music – so that he often layers together his instruments, in ways that make us feel like two horns are following the same path at once ... CD (Jazz CD)
Louis Smith
Smithville (Japanese pressing)Blue Note (Japan), 1957. Used
A really hard-edged set from trumpeter Louis Smith – one of his only two albums as a leader from the early years, and a heck of a great little album, thanks to tenor work by Charlie Rouse! Rouse is blowing beautifully here in one of his classic pre-Monk appearances – recorded at a time ... CD (Jazz CD)
Girl Named Nino
Moonlight DaughterMoonlight Daughter, 2018. Used
Captivating, genre-defying indie soul from Girl Named Nino – a girl originally from Tbilisi, Georgia who has long called the Chicago area home, has a sound as far reaching as her travels, but it still feels intimate and personal!

Lou Reed
BerlinRCA, 1973. Used
The "biggest" album of Lou Reed's career – in the grand sense – with epic production and a small army of superstar session players and production by spectacle specialist Bob Ezrin – but that's paired with arguably the darkest, gloomiest songcycle ever composed by Lou ... CD (Rock CD)

An overlooked chapter in the Mr Chop canon!

Pacheco
ArtistFania, 1977. Used
Johnny Pacheco's still one hell of an artist well into these late 70s years of his career – one of the key talents in the transformation of the New York Latin sound in the early 60s, and still equally vibrant in his work for the younger generation too! The album's got that cool, cooking ... CD (Latin CD)
Cultures Of Soul, Late 70s/Early 80s. Used
The sound of disco left no corner of the world untouched in the late 70s – and the hipper side of the dancefloor mode had an especially strong impact down in the Caribbean!

Dion
Sit Down Old FriendWarner, 1970. Very Good

One of the most amazing albums ever from Spacemen 3 – and maybe the one in which they really hit their core potential! The group's previous records had all been great – and introduced a whole new level of fuzz and echo to the late 80s indie scene – but this set has the group ... CD (Rock CD)
