The LCD Soundsystem album This Is Happening celebrates the 10th anniversary today! The dance-rock band from Brooklyn were always going to be up against it following Sound of Silver, but this LP is solid, and a worthy second place. |

The Moby album Play is 20 years old today! The CD made a great companion while I travelled around Asia the following year. Robert Christgau said “one of those records whose drive to beauty should move anybody who just likes, well, music itself.” Stunning. |
