My Dying Bride - The Angel and the Dark River (1995) - Distant, atmospheric metal with a focus on lengthy tracks and mournful sounding lyrics. This is an amazing album, fantastic rhythms on the drums, emotive guitar playing and consistent bass come together to make a very bleak album. Every single songs seems to scream out in pain, yet without being over dramatic.
Recommended tracks - Black Voyage, A Sea to Suffer In
Rating - ■■■■■
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (1985) - An artist I feel quite embarrassed listening to, but don’t really care because it’s damn fine music. The earlier albums were pretty bad, but this is where you can see that she has definitely grown up. Production on this album is pretty top notch, details floating in the background that boost the entire album onto the next level. Plus, I’m basing my best music video of all time on the video ‘Cloudbusting’ so that has to count for something, right? (College assignment for you Giant Bomb fellows)
Recommended tracks - Running up That Hill, Hounds of Love, Cloudbusting, Jig of Life.

Gentle Giant - Free Hand (1975) - Hm, I’m torn on this one. One of my old favourite experimental progressive rock bands on their rockiest album yet, filled with strange instruments and instrumental passages. Yet the production on my copy is absolute pap, everything sounds muffled and terrible, I’m not sure if it’s just my copy or what because their previous album ‘The Power and Glory’ sounds fine. Nontheless, it’s fine music, a bit pompous but aren’t we all?
Recommended tracks - Just the Same, On Reflection, Free Hand, Time to Kill, Mobile.
