Cocteau Twins ' Treasure' (1984)
There are bands you like, albums you love and then there are those you just fall down on your knees for in worshipful adoration. This one is way into the third category - there was a period where I only listened to this album and 'Hatfull of Hollow' by The Smiths.
The Cocteau's influence on me was huge. They blasted out of nowhere with a new sound: drum machines, walls of guitar and the voice of an angel. Massive.
Reading much online criticism of quality of the current crop of 4AD vinyl releases I have taken the plunge and am (re)acquiring some of the totally essential albums that shaped the 80's by the likes of Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil and the Cocteau Twins.
The new LP pressings are on thick 180g vinyl, in luxurious sleeves that show the importance of these records and they sound marvellous, a full richness and depth than my original vinyl copies lacked, 'Treasure' I remember as particularly tinny and anaemic-sounding, but the music was SOOOO good!
Now it's even better.

SKE - INSOLUBILIA
..........................
What with my being a BONAFIDE PROGMASTERMAN it hurts me to admit that I only recently learned of this fine prog lp from a big name - specifically ROGER GLOVER'S solo lp, "ELEMENTS".
Glover, of course, the bassist from Deep Purple.
Aye. Embarrasing that this one slipped under my radar.
Four long-ish tracks.

Paul Simon The Ultimate Collection on vinyl , released by Sony in 2015. Its a double album with 19 great tracks --- unfortunately only a few sparkle, the recording for the most part is as flat as the proverbial witches you know what. There is a downside to having a good vinyl set up and thats it highlights how many modern and a good few older LPs have mastering engineers who were either stoned or have cloth ears. I have a large number of albums that sound better on the CD format than vinyl.

HOLY FAMILY - SAME (2021)
fuzzbass gives some Magma moves, maybe some crap DeadCanDance vibes here and there. I guess you call this Zeuhl genre. female vocalists sound like Diamanda Galas descent into Hell on the track ,"Inner Edge of outer Mind"
Next track "inward Turning Suns" Flute and percussion ,massed vocals/chants give this a haunting trance-y commune-hippy sound. Maybe like Swede group , Trad, Gras Och Steiner
These folk HAD to be into nature worship.
