It begins with the three iconic wah wah wah notes. A fact that needs to be faced is that this album is plain sexual dread and teasing without ever being too vocal on that. Marvin Gaye has enough energy in his longing voice and if all the saxes and drawn out guitar notes don't shout erotic energy, well then... you should pick on some of the more subtle lyrics that are a bit naughtier than "let's get it on". Gaye, an eccentric figure who leans on both sheer coolness, grooviness and ... read more

In the shape of a softspoken fantasy enchants just another diamond day, the feature album from the great Vashti Bunyan. Listening to this album feels like remembering an old childhood memory where sprinkles of magic flew in the air and harkening to such fairytales was possible.

He had all the countrylore elements surrounding him , he smoked cigars, he dressed well and he didn't ever broke the code of a ... read more

Rarely have I ever heard albums that were more in the form of chanting than anything else, an orchestra of evenly harmonious male voices seems to evolve and commune together not for the sake of meditation but to pray. It's powerful but also unrelatable for miles. It is not an album to listen to for enjoyment, although it has an above pleasing aesthetic, it's an album to reach out and correct your spiritual self if anything. This it does through a collection of voices that don't even seem to ... read more
