p.s. If I hear of a band or artist I search artistname+Bandcamp.
If you are lucky and the artist has a Bandcamp page you can listen to the full album ( and any others they may have ) as many times as you wish and then make your decision. Win…

Good to hear you promoting the Bandcamp option. I use Bandcamp whenever possible and as you say the lossless ( ALAC and FLAC ) files are by far superior to mp3 -( anything less than 320 kbps is undesirable ).
It helps of course to have a good system otherwise…

Buzz is a great pop singer. Like a Chris Knox but with a more sweeter tone. His voice and melody and phrasing always jangles the brain.

He comes up with such wonderful melodies. The new one included.

this is all kinds of good – fun, dumb and most excellent at the same time, his Al Green edit is pretty fab too, actually everything he does by my reckoning

There's a new Future Sound of London album out and it's pretty darn great:

They've jettisoned many of the proggy excesses of their early 2000s Amorphous Androgynous records but kept the good stuff. Check it out.
