David J ‎– Candy On The Cross

David J
Candy On The Cross
1992 MCA Records

Finish off this triad with the always-in-sunglasses bassist David J, older brother of fellow Love & Rockets/Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins. Taken from the Urban Urbane album this mellow single has old friend Peter Murphy adding backing vocals to title track. David also covers John Cale’s “Antartica Starts Here” (which I like better).

Peter Murphy – Recall EP

Peter Murphy
Recall
1998 Red Ant Entertainment

Another Red Ant gem for you. Peter needs no introductions, I wish I had his voice… hauntingly beautiful. This holds a special place for me with all tracks completely re-recorded for this session with Industrial gods Tim Skold, Sascha Konietzko & Bill Rieflin running the production. Hidden exclusive track Cool Cool Breeze sitting after the 3:46 minute of Big And Tiny (Live). So good.

1. Rollcall - Recall
2. Indigo Eyes 98
3. Big Love Of A Tiny Fool
4. Surrendered
5. Big And Tiny(Live) + (Hidden Track) Cool Cool Breeze

The Cranberries ‎– Ode To My Family Box Set (CD2)

The Cranberries
Ode To My Family Box Set (CD2)
1994 1sland Records

I was hoping that after loosing a really large number of wonderful musicians in the last couple years we’d get a break… Quite gutted we lost Dolores O'Riordan this week. The Cranberries release Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? was a pretty huge album for my college years and it gets played often and is companioned with many great memories. Something magical about her distinctive voice. RIP Dolores, you’ll be missed. 

1. Ode To My Family (Live)
2. Dreams (Live)
3. Ridiculous Thoughts (Live)
4. Zombie (Live)

Saru ‎– Downtempo Dojo

Saru
Downtempo Dojo
2001 Shadow Records

Last installment of Shadow Records. I don’t have any singles from the label so I’ll throw one of my go-to downtempo albums. Steve Branson, aka Saru, delights us with some very impressive atmospheric beats that sometimes boarder on Drum n Bass... and it’s smashing! Look for him under the name Spooky Monkey and AP0110 for more.

1. Posterity
2. Something Stronger
3. Duality
4. Bamboo Shadow
5. Waking Up
6. Contact
7. Jade
8. Subterra
9. Planet
10. Space Monkey
11. Fishbowl Funk
12. Suck In Love
