A very Merry Christmas treat to myself, for a pretty fair price. Something to enjoy in the sun for the weeks to come

I received a voucher for Christmas to a chain store that sells vinyl here is Sydney. I initially had the Steven Wilson remastered âWelcome To The Pleasure Domeâ in my hands and then I saw this.
Lana Del Rey is one of those acts I have ignored for no solid reason, other than I probably considered her a mainstream pop act. Lately, I have been seeing her mentioned by a couple of people whose opinions I respect, and so I thought it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
The complexities and rewards held on this album are unlike anything Iâve heard in a long time. Itâs a long record - 77 minutes in total, and to take it all in from start to finish is overwhelming on the first sitting. The beauty of the tracks being on vinyl meant there was the brief reprieve of having to turn the records over, allowing a breather to take in what you are hearing.
Upon repeat listens the intent of the album grows, as does the impression that here is an artist who, despite being on a major label, has earned herself over the past 10 years the agency to do whatever the fuck she wants.
If youâve never investigated her music, this is a great place to start - it reminded me in parts of the production Inflo brings to the Cleo Sol albums - the sonics are both extremely sumptuous and surprisingly experimental without losing focus and her voice is a honeyed dream. If LDR is indeed a cult, consider me a convert.

I find her albums variable, but Norman Fucking Rockwell is excellent, an album I go back to every couple of months or so.
LDR is an artist who is liked by every member of the family, ever since the first album which was a car singalong favourite from the age of 5.

Sade â Surrender Your Love (Illegal Remixes)
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/sade-surrender-your-love-illegal-remixes-vinyl/1128511-01/
We must say, Sade remixes never fail to pin down the blue feels. This Illegal Detroit 12" revives one of the cityâs most whispered-about mid-90s white labels, first out in 1995 and passed hand to hand. And, to this day, with no artist credit: a reworked shard of Sadeâs âSurrender Your Loveâ. Circulating at the time as stamped or handwritten copies, it never sat in a formal catalogue, and few know who really made it. Branded as âIllegal Remixesâ by way of the Deep Cuts subseries name here, they certainly sound it, securing a smokiness and fog function some might say is unachievable by an artist seeking recognition.

postman just came so unless i go shopping later on this afternoon (which, come to think of it, i might) this really will be the last batch of the year.
not much to say about these that hasnât already been said. polar sequences is lovely and fitting for this time of year. chloe had these older second circle releases for fairly cheap, so why not? payfone is a current-and-future classic. thought leadership is possibly even more beautiful than the first.
and of course, the @lovehandles edits. absolutely not trying to yuk anyoneâs yum, but i never liked âlove is a battlefieldâ, and that probably comes from growing up with it getting play on MTV dozens of times a day - yet another 70s rocker going synthpop. i was but 10 years old when the song came out so i rolled my young eyes when pat insisted âwe are youngâ. i was, she wasnât. it seemed so insincere.
but thatâs not the point - if anyone asked me (now a grizzled old dj) for an example of the power of edits, iâd point to this as an example of whatâs possible. itâs exciting. it raises the bar. big props to you, this is excellent work.
