Venus and Mars is one of the first records I ever owned. Still love it.

I’m fairly new to the Cramps, don’t know that one, is it good?

I have listened those seventies McCartney albums first time quite recently. Always preferred Lennon, but I really enjoyed those McCartney albums, all of them have at least some great moments!

Another 25cm of snow expected for the weekend. Yeah, perfect time to take this Easter day off..let the fun begin:

Radiohead (visual)

Pablo Honey
The Bends
OK Computer

I’ve spun many 12” platters lately - from Greenslade to ELO, to Nile and Barclay James Harvest. All great stuff.

As far as I know, the Cramps hasn´t made any bad records (haven´t yet listened their final album "Fiends of Dope Island"). But the most recommended albums are their first albums, "Songs the Lord Taught Us" & "Psychedelic Jungle". Both "Off the Bone" & "Bad Music For Bad People" are great compilations about their great singles, if you find somewhere their first e.p. "Gravest Hits", then "Bad Music" is better choise, because it has only one song from that e.p. Their newer material I think "Big Beat From Badsville" is the best.

i have Songs the Lord Taught Us, Gravest Hits, & Psychedelic Jungle. I’ll grab those others if I see them.

Alsarah & the Nubatones: Manara

Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase

I wasn’t crazy about the first one, the second one was better, and now I think everything comes together splendidly on this one. I am thinking much same way, he´s "pop"-albums Last Night On Earth is much better than Between the Times, but Electric Trim is absolutely the best! About his experimental albums, have you heard Glacial: One Jones Beach -album? I think it´s really great, liked also the other experimental Ranaldo-albums I´ve heard. i got the first solo album when it came out, forgot the title. It was all noise tracks and every track had a locked groove. One of the tracks was just an unplayable etching on the vinyl. Grey marble colored vinyl, at that. A lovely piece of work but very inconvenient for turntable listening. I hung it on my wall back in college.

Oh, it´s "From Here to Infinity". I once tried to order it, but it was sold out. I have listened it just from YouTube, kind of like it. Anyway Glacial is totally different experimental record, it´s really epic, there are Ranaldo´s experimental guitars, Bagpibes and drums. Really great experimental piece!

I have some catching up to do (one of my last purchase was Il Bacio della Medusa's Discesa Agl'Inferi = Excellent!), here's some of my top classic RPI: Orme/Uomo di Felona Giganti/Terra in Bocca Banco/Darwin Metamorfosi/Inferno Pierrot Lunaire Alusa Fallax Celeste

Thanks for the rescue, Sam! Yes, Martin, Sam has offered some very fine suggestions for standout modern RPI titles. I always struggle to come up with definitive inclusions, it's probably easier to look back on each year and you can usually work out what are the more highly rated and more popular modern titles.

You've probably noticed there's also a `Modern RPI Appreciation' thread where many of us bring attention to new and older `modern' titles (ie 90's onwards), so perhaps keep an eye on that. There's a mix of recommendations from the last twenty or so years as well as info about brand new releases.
