Spinning In A Dizzy Haze

After all the attempts at CD reviews (Marillion, Rush, Porcupine Tree), a return to a shuffle playlist. 'Shuffle All':

There Goes A Tenner - Kate Bush,
Voyage - Pino Scagliarini, from a 'New Age' compilation CD given to me. I usually avoid these like the plague, but this track's okay,
Day of Days - Jon Anderson, from the 3 Ships LP, recently given to me as a CD-R. Hippy-trippy Christian stuff, much as expected. A christmas album,
Moving Force - Robert Fripp String Quartet. Splendid as ever,
Behind the Wall - Tracy Chapman,
On Being Blue - The Art of Noise. The Claude Debussy album was good in parts, but a bit pretentious,
An Empty Box - Porcupine Tree. I keep seeing the Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape CD on offer for £50+, so can rest in my smug self-satisfaction that I got my copy for £3.50. Brand New.
Open Your Eyes - Yes. I can only listen to one track at a time from this album or I start crying,
Tempe - His Name is Alive,
Never Be Mine - Kate Bush,
Winter Is Gone - Nich Drake, from a compilation of demoes. Ignore the tape hiss and relish the genius,
Kiss Me - Average White Band,
He Pep! - The Fall, from the Peel Sessions Box Set,
Boom Bang a Bang - Lulu, from a compilation of music from 1969. I think this was a Eurovision song, which is quite appropriate. I remember going to a (Portuguese) friend's barbecue a few years back, wherein a load of people (80%+) suddenly vacated the garden. We found them in front of the telly watching Eurovision Song Contest, and they didn't move for three hours. Rather buggered up the party...
Blemish (Remix) - David Sylvian,
Channel One Dub - Linval Thompson,
High Hopes - Pink Floyd,
Shake-Off - The Fall, more Peel Sessions,
She's a Carnival - Siouxsie and the Banshees. I had this on cassette and played it over and over again until it unravelled itself. Great album,
Smile Dub - Niney & The Soul Syndicate,
Into the Rainbow Vein - Boards of Canada.

T - 4; M - 3.5; D - 4
