|
 | Quiet Fire by Roberta Flack
Buy new: £3.29 / Used from: £4.85 Had this on my walkman for months. Her voice is great & the few upbeat tracks on here are too. Slower material has real feeling .
|

|
 | Tabula Rasa by Einstuerzende Neubauten
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £8.00 Think this was probably closest lp to '93 video I've been watching. The last full lp by first well known line-up. Bit of a compi of commissioned projects.
|
 | This Is Music: The Singles 92-98 by The Verve
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.22 possibly best overview. I far prefer the spacier early material . They seem to have been leaning more that way live than record in 98 as watching the Haigh Hall video shows.
|
 | Close to the Edge: Remastered & Expanded by Yes
Buy new: £4.01 / Used from: £4.15 there's a couple of lps from around here that are pretty tolerable. Remastering even helps Anderson's voice which I find the weak link.
|
 | The Foundations of Funk: a Brand New Bag 1964-1969 by James Brown
Buy new: £14.48 / Used from: £4.99 This & Make it funky are pretty indispensable. JB really had it between about 68 & 73/4 when he got swept into disco.
|
 | Live 1981-1982 by Birthday Party
Buy new: £6.33 / Used from: £4.98 One of the most visceral live lps ever. Takes leads from funk, hardrock etc and mutates heavily. Essential. JBs meet a carcrash

|
 | Lost Gold and Silver: the Unreleased Quicksilver Messenger Service by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Buy new: £10.83 / Used from: £9.40 About their best officially released material.Though some say they messed up the bootleg versions. More energetic than Happy Trails.

 | Pre Millennium Tension by Tricky
Buy new: £3.45 / Used from: £2.49 A bit darker than the previous one. There is a brilliant little seen video of this material live at Shepherd's Bush in 97 that I wish they'd officially release in full. Bits of it can be seen in Naked
