I adore albums - the artistry, storytelling, expression and musical journey that they present as a whole piece. Sadly, they are becoming a dying breed. 
What are your favourite top albums?
- currently; at this moment, this day; this week; this month
- new releases or old releases
What are you listening to, enjoying and appreciating?
1.Mogwai - Rave Tapes (just a band so emotive melodically to another seemingly movie score to just human emotion ...so artistic ...so instrumental ...so experimental for rock. New wave of Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Royksopp- beautiful)
2. A Great Big World - Is There anybody out there? (a hidden gem similar to Fun, that has taken years to surface ...loving the track 'say something' but also really like 'rockstar' ;
3. Warpaint - Warpaint (good album ----especially if you like ..daughter, chrvhes, )
4. Madonna - MDNA (still playing lots of songs frequently, especially: 'some girls', 'I'm addicted', 'falling free')
5. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Wanderlust (I adore 'young blood' and 'runaway dreamer'...annoyed that there aren't any pure pop tracks...I need to listen to the album a little more as its new ... and I can't believe that there is one track that has nearly the same song title as a song that I have recently written ...but actually its a good album with some truly beautiful moments)
