17 Feb - 16 Mar

Albert King - I'll Play The Blues For You (1972) -  "The result was a trim, funk-infused blues sound that provided ample space for King's oft-imitated guitar playing."

Tony McPhee - The Two Sides Of Tony (T.S.) McPhee (1973) - "... with McPhee playing an acoustic and electric guitar for the first four tracks, then switching to three different synthesizers and an electric piano for side two, a lengthy spoken poem entitled "The Hunt."

Pauline Anna Strom - Trans-Millennia Music (2017) - "If it's your desire to assemble a collection of the 20th century's seminal works of electronic music, add this new collection of Pauline Anna Strom's recordings to your shopping list."

The Lovely Eggs - This is Eggland (2018) - "Northern psychedelic punks...  bring together a fierce DIY ethos, surreal sense of humour and kitchen-sink realism."

Hurray for the Riff Raff - Navigator (2017) - "a powerful folk concept album from a Nuyorican runaway who grew up obsessed with West Side Story before being liberated by Bikini Kill."

Lee Perry - Born In The Sky (Upsetter At The Controls 1969-1975) (2001) - "Concentrating mainly on his early days, with the odd mid 1970's track, like a b sides and rarities collection from the off the wall Reggae producer"

Lee Hazlewood & Ann-Margret - The Cowboy and the Lady (1969) - "this full-bodied, red-blooded record veers from fiery acid rock to soulful strut and of course a healthy dose of forlorn country"

Nosaj Thing - Parallels (2017) - "It eventually drifts into spaced-out blissfulness on the final four tracks, bringing a melodic ear-trip to a close."

Nosaj Thing - Fated (2015) - "one of the L.A. beat scene's preeminent modern minimalists."

Van Morrison - Live At The Grand Opera House Belfast (1984) - "a solid presentation of his "spiritual Celtic soul" period"

Ezra Furman - Transangelic Exodus (2018) - "features a sweeping backstory about supernatural queer lovers on the run and a lurid, cinematic new sound."

Roberta Flack - Blue Lights in the Basement (1978) - "If you want an album for romantics this is it."

Roberta Flack - Feel Like Makin' Love (1974) - "one of pop's best examples of "curl up by the fireplace" and sip your drink of choice albums"

Charles Aznavour - C’est Ça (1958) - "Dommage que le son soit mono et manque un peu de relief, mais on demeure satisfait tout de même"
