    Electric Six - Senor Smoke
    The follow up to their big mainstream album ‘Fire’ was almost a concept album, but had too much to live up to. Over time however, this album is very well crafted ‘throwaway rock’ which predicts the future quite well.

    Global Communication - 76:14
    If you have had a heavy day and just need to unwind - play this. You may think it boring drivel, but as music for the mind, it is sublime. The use of a ticking grandfather clock as a rhythm track is just phenomenal.

    Radiohead - Kid A
    This may be an obvious one, but following ‘OK Computer’ was not an enviable task. This is a hard first listen, mainly due to how different it is from its predecessor. However, eventually the nuances and concepts shine through - arguably their masterpiece.

    Biosphere - Substrata
    Another ambient album, but more than highly recommended. The first few listens passed me by, but deeper listening rewards the senses beyond expectation.
    Not really a fan of ambient albums. I would rather bang on war of the worlds with the lights out and listen to what for me is one of the best albums in the world ever!

    Pod has musical tastes that are most definitely not MOTR but often very interesting. I gave the first of these a spin and I get what he is saying. I shall try the others.

    I seem to remember Pod being into early 80s synth-pop bands.
