Laurel Halo - Chance of Rain (2013)
A fairly average and forgettable ambient techno album. Nothing much worth commenting on here so moving swiftly on...
Prefab Sprout - Crimson/Red (2013)
Honestly this album sounds like it could have been a lost album recorded during the band's heyday. Maybe not as good as the likes of Steve McQueen and Jordan: The Comeback but it's a damn good album. It's mainly the product of frontman Paddy McAloon, not bad for a 56 year old geezer. Sounds timeless.
Puressence - Puressence (1996)
Some nice alternative rock/Britpop with a shimmering, melancholic edge. The high-pitched vocal histrionics remind me of Matt Bellamy at times but they don't put me off too much. There's plenty of great tunes here and Cure-style guitars to keep me happy.
