 No.1646 26/03/2021
The self-titled debut studio album by Damon Albarn’s virtual band Gorillaz celebrates a 20th anniversary today! Includes the singles Clint Eastwood, 19-2000, Rock the House, and Tomorrow Comes Today. Not a concept album, but a concept band. |
 No.1299 26/03/2020
The new album After Hours by The Weeknd was an unexpected delight. Not normally my thing, but found myself engrossed. Maybe the eighties influence. Includes singles Heartless, Blinding Lights, and In Your Eyes. |
 No.932 26/03/2019
The debut album from British singer-songwriter Yola, Walk Through Fire, put a smile on my face. Produced by Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, and inspired by soul and country, Walk Through Fire is one of the great debut albums. Her sound will stand the test of time. |
 No.567 26/03/2018
The 1978 Funkadelic LP One Nation Under A Groove is the band’s most successful release, especially in the UK. Love the line-up nicknames… Banjo’d Muthaplucker… Funkadelic Blamgusta Vocaloids… Rotofunkie Drum & Percussionatin’ Thumpdans. Time to visit George Clinton’s funk-drenched alternative reality? |
 202. 26/3/2017James Brown’s In the Jungle Groove is a compilation of grooves recorded between 1969 and 1971, when JB was at his most funky! Released in 1986 to capitalise on the rise of hip hop and indeed samples used from many of these songs. The tracks Give It Up, Talkin’ Loud and the blistering nine-minute Funky Drummer are among the highlights. |
