^ I love leaving the reggae portion of my music library alone for weeks at a time and then getting back to it, finding it just as fresh and wonderful as ever. Particularly stuff like Delroy Washington's Rasta here. Some of the best roots reggae without a doubt.


^ Bleh is all I can say. It's a filler-album in the Oils' discography, being a handful of studio and a load of live recordings to fill out space. The aforementioned studio cuts aren't really that good and the live tracks are passable at best. Pretty forgettable stuff.


^ Definitely my favourite XTC album after they pursued that more laid-back, pensive rock style after their classic new wave beginnings, with only the fantastic singles Dear Madam Barnum and the Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead bearing any real resemblance to it. Top album all the same though.
