That was great Sir B3na1i - never heard him before but enjoyed that. Go get yourself a cuppa and sit down with a stream of The Hour of Bewilderbeast - I think it's a perfect album... Maybe wait for the sun to come out first, elevates it by about 20%

Day 4 already. Today I know a good number of you know this band, they've been mentioned on IBO and TUI before it a lot over the years. In 1999 Sofia Coppola's movie The Virgin Suicides was made, the soundtrack album was by French duo, Air.
Their album Moon Safari is probably one of the best albums ever made, I was huge, I don't think I went into a house that didn't have the album in back in the day... and there's still a copy in this house to this day. This is Sexy Boy

They also did it in Southampton recently, but I was in Plymouth at the time for work, annoyingly

Hey Furry Frank The Combat WombatI was chatting to my mate about EasyAllstars… he was totally in the know and has all their stuff. He told me Sade has now had the EasyAllstars treatment… No Ordinary Dub by SailorJane is out soon. If you don’t know it already, find “Smooth Operator” - you’ll love it. Won’t post a link, as I don’t want to hijack B3nny’s 🔥week.

This is Sexy Boy Air are really good. Actually a lot of French pop is really good. Someone was dissing it the other day. At a guess I would say SF73

Day 5, and I'm breaking my own rule of the theme again. This time it's not a band I know through a film but through the theme tune to a TV series. I really enjoyed the TV series Unforgotten, and I was even more captivated by the haunting melody that would play over the opening credits. If you've seen the show I'm sure you'd know it. I rarely watch TV live anymore, and will typically skip through the opening credits on a recorded show. But with Unforgotten I never would, in fact I'd end up frustrated that they cut the song short. The song in question is All We Do by Oh Wonder.
Oh Wonder are a London based couple / pop duo who married a few years ago. They're my go too (alongside Air from yesterday, and Morcheeba, and Zero 7) for a relaxing Sunday morning. As I say the song that introduced me to them was All We Do and if you don't know that check it out. But here I'm going to play Keep On Dancing.
And look at that, a week from me without a single heavy metal or rock track!

I learned about Oh Wonder by Googling that theme tune.

This is high pressure stuff. All recent or into the archives, will I be judged? Too poppy or too melancholic.
Music plays a big part in my life, a child of the 80’s obsessed originally by all things electronic, had phases in Brit Pop, Jazz, Americana and still seeking new bands. Having turned 50 I love to find something new, but nostalgic. I think this hits the mark.
My current fave band isn’t totally new, I’ve mentioned them before but here is a previously unmentioned track. They are ‘Nation of Language’. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, they formed in 2016, but this is from their lock down album. You can hear Krafwerk, definitely early Depeche Mode and some OMD in there.
This is ‘On Division Street’
