Posted today on Vevo
Depeche Mode - Ultra- 1997
One of their greats imho and underrated. Fine production by Tim Simenon as well.

Yello - Flag.
Before I retired, working offshore worldwide meant a fair amount of early o’clock driving, down empty motorways, to airports, and I had to remove this CD from the car, as, when it was playing, I found myself steadily going ever faster and faster … … … scarily so, on occasion.
Should come with a health warning … … … “Do not have this playing, when driving alone.”
2015 and I’m poncing around FNAC at La Defense when this album cover catches my eye.
Lena Deluxe - Mirror For Heroes.
That happened to me in my car as a very young man the first time I played Copland’s “Rodeo” on my CD player; looked down at the speedometer and I was 20 mph over the speed limit!
A few track on Qobuz, full release tomorrow….great fun…….takes me back to the music scene in Southend, way back.
Not seen this, but something in the back of my mind made me think of Free/Kossoff/Mott the Hoople etc. I’m looking him up, seems I’m on the right track. Plus local to me in Worcestershire.
Queen - News of the World - 1977
What a mix of rock anthems and questionable tunes like Fight from the Inside?
Always a fan of Spread Your Wings though.
Also sort of took the part of Jim Morrison in the Butts Band.
His stuff with the band Bronco particularly the track ‘Bumpers West’ is well worth a listen.
Edit/ Andy beat me to it!
