    New Order - Complete Music
    Nitin Sawhney - Beyond Skin
    The Cure - Disintegration

    Ask me next week and it'll probably be three different ones!

    Excellent.

    Lexicon is a fabulous album, almost too good.

    Impossible to follow.

    Go, have you ever checked out Bowie’s Outside album?

    Eno collaboration in mid 90s.

    Irritating yet scintillating.

    You're all to hip and trendy (or pretend to be :)).

    Boyzone - Greatest hits
    Girls aloud - Greatest hits
    Take that - Greatest hits

    or if greatest hits aren't allowed (aloud), then;

    The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus
    Roxy Music - Avalon
    U2 - All that you can't leave behind
    Several Cure, Oasis, Manic SP albums would just miss the cut along with Hotel california and Rumours. 3 is too tight, should have been 10 !

    So basically we have mainly 40s & 50s white middle aged males here, with a handful of 30 year olds having had or about to go through mid life crisis.

    It is! Decent old-school extended remixes that sound like the originals. My most played LP since it was released two years ago!

    For the uninitiated, here is the best track imo, Singularity) .... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zqsg2g2WZE

    If Chesham Bois is the Compton of Bucks (being Southside), our Venice Beach would have to be Tring (with the reservoir) & the Beverly Hills High Wycombe (which is definitely hilly).
