i’m an old grey fogey, with aching bones and decrepit taste, in a rickety rocking chair by the fire, long freed from being cool, but do venture from time to time to try- and even sometimes like- the adventurous stuff you young whippernappers throw up..
I love all The Beatles stuff and pretty much only hip hop.

My DESERT ISLAND Top 5:
A Storm in Heaven
The hidden gem of the ‘90s (easily the greatest album of that decade)—the Verve’s defiance of genre on their debut LP set them completely apart from their peers! A Storm in Heaven is misty, intoxicating, atmospheric, breathtaking experimentation! My favorite album of all time—a truly MYSTIC voyage with the absolutely mesmerizing cavernous/oceanic guitar of unsung genius Nick McCabe!
10 tracks (46 minutes) of total COSMIC perfection!
Spirit of Eden
When you open your heart to this album, it will make the rest of your collection pale and seem very insignificant in comparison because no other album can move you in the deepest and most emotional ways that this one can. From the seamless three-song suite which encompasses abstract jazz (“The Rainbow”), delicate ambience (“Eden”), and earthy, visceral blues/rock (“Desire”) on the first side to the second side where quieter yet even more captivating drifting passages of complexity (“Inheritance”) share space with one of the greatest songs ever written (“I Believe in You”) and a closer with closure and redemption (“Wealth”), Spirit of Eden is, quite simply, a record that stands out because it actually speaks to and becomes part of your most interior and emotional moments—it is one of those rare albums that actually deserves to be called a “soundtrack to life”.
40 minutes of SPIRITUAL CATHARSIS.
Lazer Guided Melodies
This album stands out from their later works because it doesn’t contain the same superfluous excess. It has a sonic clarity and purity of vision which is absent from subsequent sessions. It is more ethereal and flows the best of their albums. Lazer Guided Melodies is constructed as the ultimate classic vinyl listening experience—4 color-coded cross-faded suites with soaring space rock guitars, fuzzy Vox organ & serene Farfisa, free jazz horn section, and classical string quartet. It remains the band’s masterpiece, a record of rock hypnosis unlike any other. It is an audiophile’s dream and perhaps the best produced album of all time.
No Other
No other album captures the total cosmic Americana experience the same way this glorious and widescreen album does. Thomas Jefferson Kaye out-Walled the Brian Wilson/Phil Spector Wall-of-Sound with his epic and jaw-dropping production filled to the brim with the top session musicians of the L.A. scene and the vast, soulful female backup vocals. Gene Clark is singing at his most impassioned with lyrics which are deeply philosophical and mystical in their insights. The hidden gem of the ’70s (easily the greatest album of that decade.)
Astral Weeks
This album conjures a timeless nostalgia with its remarkable musical complexity and achingly beautiful songwriting. Astral Weeks is a masterpiece of deeply emotional improvisational lyrics, impressionistic and mystical imagery, and pure soul. Accompanying Van Morrison’s heartbreaking vocals are one of the greatest jazz rhythm sections and a string quartet.
