David Holland, Derek Bailey — ‘Improvisations for Cello and Guitar’
Step 6 on my #ecmodyssey is ECM 1013. Amazing how much early ECM is hardcore free improv. German original with the peeling plastic to prove it. Bought at Los Apson in Tokyo.

Leslie Winer — ‘When I Hit You, You’ll Feel It’
An androgynous supermodel invented trip-hop and nobody noticed. And it still feels like nobody cares. Anyway, I’m a fan. Imagine a kind of laconically stoned version of Sleaford Mods. No, really.

Robin Kenyatta — ‘Girl from Martinique’
Step 5 on my #ecmodyssey is ECM 1008. This one is huge personal favourite and I only recently got the vinyl. Wolfgang Dauner’s processed clavinet really takes this one over the top.

Burial — ‘Comafields’
This is absolutely Burial doing what he does best. Epic hauntological sample collages.

Jan Garbarek Quartet — ‘Afric Pepperbird’
Step 4 on my #ecmodyssey is ECM 1007. Garbarek is a divisive figure but rest assured this technicolor spiritual jazz freak out is anything but smooth. This is the recent Luminescence reissue, and it’s very tasty indeed.

Monolake — ‘Gravity’
Great to see the Monolake discography gradually getting reissued on vinyl. Can we have ‘Silence’ next, please?

The Music Improvisation Company — self-titled
Step 3 on my #ecmodyssey skips ahead to the label’s 5th release. Somehow still don’t have ‘Afternoon of a Georgia Faun’. Guess I’m about to answer the Guardian’s question: Is it physically possible to listen to free jazz?

Shirley Collins — ‘The Sweet Primroses’
Def getting to be that time of year. Beautiful original copy on Topic, in exceptional condition. Bought at the Oxfam shop in Hereford.

Alfred Harth’s Just Music — ‘Just Music’
Step two on my #ecmodyssey. And the second ECM album ever. This is actually a German original in nice shape, and it wasn’t expensive. You can tell it’s legit because there’s annoying plastic peeling off the cover.

Mal Waldron — ‘Free at Last’
Gonna try listening to every ECM LP I own in chronological order. Please join me on my #ecmodyssey and feel free to launch one of your own. This is the first ECM release. Obviously, it is the recent extended reissue, not an original.

Peter Hammill — ‘Out of Water’
Was lying when I claimed to have listened to all the Japan purchases. Was saving this one to listen to in the correct chronological slot in my trawl through all my Hammill albums.

Steve Kuhn — ‘Ecstasy’
Been looking for a copy of this one for a while now.

False Aralia — ‘Ira.gram’
Surely the new project from the shadowy figure behind Topdown Dialectic. In any case, the most exciting new electronic music project I’ve heard since Topdown. This isn’t my fave EP in the series, it’s just the only one I’ve managed to get on vinyl.

Roberto Cacciapaglia Ensemble — ‘Transharmonica’
Saw this for 10 bucks at a record fair and took a punt. Very different from the Cacciapaglia heads may know. Almost a holy minimalism vibe. Perfect rainy morning music, so far.

Peter Hammill — ‘In a Foreign Town’
Continuing my dutiful trawl through all the Hammill LPs I own. As with other albums from this era, it’s better than I remembered. Sounds like he had access to a Fairlight or similar when he made this.

My Bloody Valentine — ‘Strawberry Wine’
Maybe just one more MBV EP before I switch back to 33.

My Bloody Valentine — ‘Tremolo’
This the only one of MBV’s Creation EPs that I bought the day it came out. Consequently, it has more wear and tear than the others. But it still sounds phenomenal.

My Bloody Valentine — ‘Glider’
Forget your audiophile pressing of ‘Rumours’, this is the single best sounding record in my entire collection.

My Bloody Valentine — ‘Feed Me with Your Kiss’
Now that I’ve got the 45 setting perfectly calibrated, might as well play a bunch of these. Normally listen to MBV on a Bluetooth speaker to make chores tolerable. Hearing these 12”s on proper speakers again is truly next level.
