Released today 33 years ago:
🇬🇧 New Order "Republic" – 1993
A more polished and not that good release where electronic textures meet a smoother, almost pop-leaning production.
The underlying melancholy remains. Bernard Sumner’s vocals sit front and center, guiding songs that balance introspection with radio-friendly appeal...#neworder #synthpop #electronicmusic #alternativerock #britishmusic #vinylcommunity #vinyl #music #vinylrecords #nowspinningonvinyl #nowspinning #nowlistening

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" – 1986

Released today 39 years ago:
🇬🇧 David Bowie "Never Let Me Down" – 1987
His worst release ever - but beneath the surface, there’s still ambition: Songs that touch on isolation, politics, and personal reflection though often framed in expansive, radio-oriented structures. Bowie’s vocal remains committed and expressive, even within the dense production...

Released today 53 years ago.
🇬🇧 David Bowie "Aladdin Sane" – 1973
A flamboyant and fractured follow-up to Ziggy Stardust, often described as “Ziggy goes to America.” The album blends glam rock swagger with avant-garde touches, most notably Mike Garson’s dissonant, jazz-influenced piano work that cuts sharply through the arrangements...

🇬🇧 Iron Maiden "The Number of the Beast" – 1982
A defining heavy metal anthem where the track moves from eerie spoken intro into full-throttle riffing, combining precision and theatrical intensity.
Bruce Dickinson’s powerful vocal performance drives the song with operatic force, elevating its apocalyptic themes and giving it an unmistakable identity...#ironmaiden #heavymetal #nwobhm #metalclassic #britishmusic #vinyl #music #vinylrecords #nowspinningonvinyl #nowspinning #nowlistening

Released today 29 years ago:
🇬🇧 The Chemical Brothers "Dig Your Own Hole" – 1997
A defining big beat landmark that's raw, sample-heavy, and built for maximum impact. The album fuses breakbeat intensity with acid lines, distorted bass, and psychedelic flourishes, creating a sound that is both chaotic and tightly controlled.

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Toy" – 2021
"Toy" revisits Bowie’s earliest songs with a seasoned band, re-recorded with greater depth and confidence. The arrangements retain a sense of immediacy while benefiting from warmer production and tighter musicianship. Bowie’s vocal performance is reflective and assured, reframing youthful material through a mature lens...

🇬🇧 David Bowie "1966" – 1979
Rooted in mod pop, music hall influences, and light, theatrical songwriting rather than the avant-garde directions Bowie would later pursue, these songs are concise, melodic, and often whimsical, offering insight into his formative years and evolving identity...

Released today 13 years ago:
🇬🇧 David Bowie "The Next Day" – 2013
A powerful and unexpected return after a decade of silence. The album revisits many of the darker textures and angular guitar-driven arrangements associated with Bowie’s late-70s and 90s work, while sounding unmistakably contemporary...

Grace Williams : Elegy for Cynddylan, for Trumpet and Piano (1970)
https://youtu.be/VALBVc1XzJA?si=Ymitdoc7NaUDHNe5I don't really know anything about Grace Williams. After hearing this elegy for trumpet and piano, I think I might give her trumpet concerto a listen later.
To learn more about this Welsh composer, I turned to...

https://c.im/@[email protected]l , who enjoys listening to British music from the first half of the twentieth century, recently mentioned the composer Dorothy Howell (1898 -1982).
After the 1919 success of her symphonic poem "Lamia", she became known as the "English Richard Strauss".
I don't much care for this kind of dubbing, as it seems unwittingly to belittle its recipient ; has anybody thought of referring to Richard Strauss as the "German Dorothy Howell"?
In addition, this particular example set this Richard Strauss fan up for disappointment. "Lamia" is OK, but it doesn't hold a candle to the German's symphonic poems.
Then I turned to her Nocturne for Muted Strings and was entranced - I hope you will be too!
