After falling even deeper in love with Jack White III upon hearing his 2018 solo album 'Boarding House Reach', I spent the summer of 2018 filling in my Jack White III collection. I purchased the missing albums from his bands The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, and listened to my favourite tracks from the albums … Continue reading ‘Help Us Stranger’ Singles Review
In August 2003, Kraftwerk released their tenth studio album called 'Tour De France Soundtracks', which was their first release since 1986's 'Electric Cafe/Techno Pop'. Kraftwerk fans had to do a lot of waiting, 17 years of it in fact, but it was well worth the wait as the album went to the #1 spot in … Continue reading ‘Tour De France Soundtracks’ Album Review
In November 1986, Kraftwerk released their 9th studio album, which I feel is an incredibly important and unique album in their repertoire. But before the world got to hear from the German electro pioneers again, their fans had to wait 5 years for it's release as their last album 'Computerworld' was released back in '81. … Continue reading ‘Techno Pop’ Album Review
Prince Rogers Nelson was known by many things in his lifetime.

From the little I know about this album, I can tell it is incredibly interesting and unique. From it's cover sleeve that looks like a Power Rangers robot to an overall sound that gives me Blade Runner vibes, 'Flaunt It' by Sigue Sigue Sputnik was recommended to me by the owner of the local record … Continue reading ‘Flaunt It’ Album Review
