 | Telekon + 6 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £4.89 Numan at his paranoid best - afraid of his own fans, the press, his fame. A masterpiece of brooding electronica.
|
 | Macbeth by Laibach
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.08 Courting controversy or just a big joke? Either way, giant industrial neo-classical dramatics do not disappoint.
|
 | Front by Front by Front 242
Buy used from: £6.77 Belgiums' finest with their finest moment. Uncompromising and brutal.
|
 | Medusa by Clan of Xymox
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £10.29 Sisters of Mercy? The Cure? Nah, this is where Goth begins. Mysterious, fragile melodies backed with thumping sequencers and cello patches.
|
 | The Garden by John Foxx
Buy used from: £5.75 Pastoral elegance, haunting arrangements, wonderful lyrics. The title track is analogue heaven.
|
 | Witching Hour by Ladytron
Ethereal vocals and pristine production. Don't believe them when they say they don't like Numan - his fingerprints are all over it.
|
 | Getting the Holy Ghost Across (On a Blue Wing) by Bill Nelson
Buy used from: £160.00 Utterly, utterly gorgeous. Layered, complex, glistening.
|
 | Love Metal by H.I.M. (His Infernal Majesty)
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.67 Love metal? No, not really. But I do love this gothic masterpiece, even if it does have a tendency to almost become self-parody in places.
|
 | Oil & Gold by Shriekback
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.29 Shriekbacks' finest moment. Bizarre touches, bursting with originality. 'Daleks of God' anyone?
|
 | Oranges & Lemons by XTC
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.15 From the heart of Wiltshire, English pastoralism doesn't get much more English and..er.. pastoral than this.
|
 | Hope in a darkend heart (1986) by Virginia Astley
Buy used from: £49.63 Dangerously Sylvian-esque - he is a contributor after all - but unerringly lovely in every way.
|
 | Belief by Nitzer Ebb
Buy new: £7.79 / Used from: £4.97 Music for jackboots.
|
 | The Decline of British Sea Power by British Sea Power
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £1.18 They called this 'power pop' in the day. Bristling but melodic....you can almost sniff the salty air.
|
 | The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99 Wonderfully eccentric but without becoming ludicrous. Weaving rhythms, some early Fairlight and pipes and fiddles.
|
 | Bande A Part by Nouvelle Vague
Buy used from: £14.16 Utterly insane re-workings of eighties left-field classics.
|
 | Night People by Classix Nouveaux
Buy new: £7.98 The first album I ever bought - here for sentimental reasons.
|
Listmania!
