"I remember listening to this when I flew to Tokyo around 2012 to promote my first solo album, Here Come The Bombs. I’d heard bits over the years – Mick Quinn was a big fan of German rock’n’roll of the mid-70s. I was on the plane listening to this, then I arrived and went for a wander around and listened to the whole thing. It really seemed to fit with the strange landscape because it’s a modern, electronic album but it’s also really organic with wobbly synthesisers and you can hear the hiss on the drum machine. I’m not sure whether they were recording quickly or it was the gear, but I like its unstable quality."

"It’s such an amazing record. I love Copenhagen on there, it just melts me. Though I said it’s hard to pinpoint influences, maybe at the end of Weird Dreams, the final track on my new album, I was doing my Scott Walker impression a bit. It’s an album I always come back to because of the mood. It’s light and dark: there’s beauty there, but the lyrics give it a real edge. You can get different things out of it. I hope I do that with my music in that it’s able to make you feel good, but if you really want to get into it you can relate to the darkness. I’m always looking for that balance."

Welcome weasels!

I saw the cover for this in a book of album covers years ago. Having come across it again recently I listened to the album on YouTube and couldn’t believe how good it was. I’d always heard of Frank Zappa but had never listened to any of his music but like wow! What have I missed?

I think it would take a few more listens to identify a stand out track for me, but as a brand new Zappa fan it’s certainly wetted my appetite to sample more of his (quite vast) back catalogue. Hopefully I’ll get to review more of this great mans work shortly.

Rolling Stone's 326th greatest album of all time

One of my biggest regrets in life is how long it took me to get in to The Cure. A couple of years ago, my only knowledge of them was Boys Don't Cry, Love Cats and Friday I'm In Love. This album is poles apart from that material and is absolutely superb. From start to finish it is an absolute joy, Pictures of You, Fascination Street and Prayers for Rain are all excellent but for me it is the title track that steals the show - such a slow build up to an epic powerful finish, I always have to go back and listen again.
