Golf's verdict: Or the album with Arena theme tune from BBC2 on it. Coming a few years before 'Music for Airports', but with many early signs of the ambient style he would later perfect. I perfect midway-point between 'Warm Jets' & 'Airports' in fact. For a self-declared 'non-musician' Eno has certainly made more interesting music in his career than 99% of his contemporaries.
Maire's verdict: Didn't really do it for me.

Golf's verdict: We saw Dizzee at the Emirates stadium supporting Muse a few years back. To give him credit he successfully converted what must have been a pretty tough crowd around to his rather bouncy cause that day. This album disappointed though, not nearly enough variety meaning I got over it pretty quickly. Probably even before the half way mark...
Maire's verdict: Thought it was rather fun to start with but then got a bit boring.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Better than any of their 'normal' albums, this soundtrack to Sophia Coppola's film is fantastic. Maintains the balance between song-structure and great 70s era prog sounding electronica even better than 'Moon Safari' does and 'Dead Bodies' is an absolute classic prog wig-out.
Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Gorgeous. Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I would happily listen to Kate Bush recite her shopping list. In fact, having listened to more or less everything she has recorded I would be pretty confident I HAVE heard her doing that. This has none of the hits on it, but suffers in no way because of that. Just slip some headphones on and get sucked in.
Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I'm a bit late to the Kate Bush adoration party. Liked most of her singles but never really listened to her albums. Loved this one.
