Progress Reform was on my list as well. Brilliant

Not quite Cave but at a Swans gig at the Concorde last year, I saw him and Michael Gira having a natter. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall there.

Pere Ubu – Dub Housing Released: 1978 Label: Chrysalis Records For Fans Of: Devo, The Fall, Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, Pixies Reccomended Tracks: Caligari’s Mirror, Ubu Dance Party, Navvy The history of punk is oft debated but what is fundamentally clear is that our trans-Atlantic...

Hissing Fauna is on my list!

One of those rare records that I loved, played obsessively but never really tired of it. A shame they haven't quite ever repeated the trick. All their subsequent work IMHO suffers from focusing on succesful elements of this album rather than the whole package.

I'll give it a go, I lost MM after Powertrip, it all went a bit too Dave Grohl ROCKSTAR for me.

No 5. Health – Get Color Released: 2009 Label: Lovepump United For Fans Of: Battles, Crystal Castles, Can, Derrick May Reccomended Tracks: Die Slow, Severin, We Are Water Simon Reynold’s makes the case in his outstanding ‘Retromania’ book that a world weary cynicism has entered modern day...

You saved me the bother! Sing To God is a masterpiece as well. Get well soon Tim. Gives me an excuse to post this though. EDIT: Tim Smith's stroke was immediately after one of the My Bloody Valentine reunion shows at The Roundhouse, fact fans.

It's a problem I know well. Ahem.

Agreed, though I think it's acessability is a little understated. We're not talking Trout Mask Replica here.

No. 3 Lift To Experience - The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads Released: 2001 Label: Bella Union For Fans Of: My Bloody Valentine, Explosions In The Sky, Jeff Buckley, Slint Reccomended Tracks: Just as Was Told, Falling From Cloud 9, Into The Storm The odds were stacked against this one from the...

I saw them at The Great Escape just after Checkmate Savage came out because we couldn't get into another show. Amazing live band and 3 great records to boot. I salute your choice and here's hoping they make it back down this way sometime soon.

I had tickets to see them in Brighton in October - it's been cancelled now though.

This has gone well. Number 2 Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist Released: 1980 Label: Think Progressive For Fans Of: Kraftwerk, Mannuel Gottshing, Aphex Twin Reccomended Tracks: So Weit, So Gut, Emphasis, Transendental Overdrive An oddity of electronic music, which on the timeline sits...

I'm not going to guarantee that you'll like it but I'm sure you'll recognise the influence.

I forgot he's Talk Talk as well. Their last two records are the definition of underappreciated masterpiece. Seeing as you like those two records, did you get on with Field of Reeds, the last These New Puritans album?

I only found this recently. Anyone that has any love for Beth Gibbons (Portishead's) voice is going to love this.

I'm sold.
