Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport 1956

Decent jazz album in HMV Forestside shocker!!! The 1999 reissued version, which unlike the original version was actually recorded in Newport 1956. The original issue featured a re recorded version of the concert recorded in New york a couple of days after the original concert. Worth buying alone for "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" and "Take the A Train", the former featuring Paul Gonsalve's famous tenor sax solo.



The Temptations - Cloud Nine

A massive impact on the likes of Curtis Mayfield and Funkadelic, this album saw the band move away from their traditional sound after their lead singer left the previous year. Produced by Norman Whitfield, this album was the start of Motown's psychedelic soul period and featured the distinctive guitar work of Funk Brother Dennis Coffey. 35 minutes of wah wah funk soul and peerless vocals from Dennis Edwards.








Adem - Love and other planets

A slightly less accessible follow up to the debut "Homesongs" from the one time Fridge member (alongside Kieren Hebden - Four Tet). Acoustic guitars, accordions, glockenspiels and harmonium combine to create a warm and spacious set of twelve songs.

"on a clear night if you look close enough / you can just make out / love and other planets / we are not alone."
