…and as I randomly dip into the huge pile of CDs that I have given a home to when a friend moved - today I’m having a listen to Mr Scruff and thoroughly enjoying it.
Mr Scruff…who’d have thunk it…missed it completely back in the 90s early 00s. Mixes and suchlike of soul, jazz, funk, hip-hop, and anything else he can think of throwing into the mix.

They're all great Roy, and glad you've got one of my faves, "House of the Rising Sun". ?

If you like Frazey Ford you should check out a band called The Be Good Tanyas. She sang with them for years. Soft Americana with that magical voice over the top. I would probably start with the Hello Love album.

Went back to Cardiacs again after a while this morning - Sing To God.
This might well be the best song ever written:
Just outrageous songwriting. So many chord changes that are technically 'wrong' but sound so right. I used to try and do that in some of my songs, and it just sounded wrong.
What a genius Tim Smith was. Imagine writing a song with 8 key changes in one section and it still sounds perfect.

It might be. I can't think of many that rival it.

True; I can’t think of many that rival it as a hideous racket.

I remember hearing them on Radio 6 earlier in the year and thinking I should try and dig into their back catalogue ?

Haha. Joking aside, I love Cardiacs. In a world where every song seems to be copied off another one these days, the one thing you can say about them is they were absolutely 100% unique.

Sing To God is one of my favourite albums of all time and a decent place to start. It's a double album so set aside an hour and a half and listen to the whole thing from start to finish. I just love how it goes seamlessly from chaos to almost gospel-like moments of everyone singing together. There really is nobody else like Cardiacs.
If you're a Spotify user they don't seem to be on there, annoyingly. You can probably stream the album straight off YouTube or something.

Well of course I’d long heard of King Crimson…but listen to any of their stuff…nah, never, ever..until yesterday when I listened to In the Court of the Crimson King. Well that was not at all what I have long thought…I actually really enjoyed it. So will listen to more.
Meanwhile, just because I’m in a 70s classic prog mood, I’m having another listen to Yes…Close to the Edge. Love it. The Wakeman bit in the title track when he thunders away on the church pipe organ…wow!
IMO both albums still stand up really well to scrutiny.

You can see why it didn't make the album.......and why it wasn't released previously.

Good track. But haven't seen a video quite that cheesy for a while

Early 80s cocteau twins. Dug out all my old vinyl and set up the turntable. Some of the stuff had not been played in more than 30 years
