Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 18th greatest album of all time

Decent Springsteen album, vying with Born in the USA to be his best. This listen was poisoned a little for me as some of my neighbours have had occasional parties during lockdown where the title track has been played at full volume with accompanying drunken "singing" at 2am (though this was annoying, it was followed by the sound of utter confusion when they next played the album version of Bat Out of Hell, with the piano solo and several minutes of extra avant garde music and an extra verse they weren't expecting). A decent listen.

Ariel Pink recommended Inca And Apache by Satya Sai Maitreya Kalie in Music (curated)

"I just discovered this fairly recently and I think it's a beautiful, beautiful record. It's kind of like Bobby Jameson in a way. 'I'm Walking Solo', for example, reminds me of Jameson, it's just so beautiful. There's a book on him called Craig Smith - his real name - called 'See Through The Darkness' which I'd recommend. He's just such a special artist. In fact, maybe the records in this list all do have a quality in common; they all have an ability to reach in to me. They really got me at a time when music was really saving my life."

"Andy Hull played me this record before it was out in a van when we touring solo together. I read the lyrics and convinced him (over the course of two weeks) that the title HAD to be A Black Mile To The Surface. I also remember really liking the shift in their sound but worrying that it wasn’t going to connect with a lot of people and I was really, really wrong on that front. It’s a record that starts pretty great, but keeps growing and growing on you the more you listen. It gets a lot of spins in our house."
