Balmy stuff. Like Björk with a melodic sense, and ten years before.

Party time! A long (but not too long) slice of sexy, funky fun.

A collection of demos, initially; they sounded so good they were released as a new album.

A slick, meticulously produced and arranged (with George Martin) array of adult pop. The best of its kind.

...Or "Off the wall, part2". Almost as good. Happens to be the best-selling album ever.

Not exactly easy listening... but brilliant (in a VERY dark way).

This is where Depeche Mode and countless others come from. A biting, angry pioneer of electro-pop.

Another excellent batch, making the 1970's last just a little bit longer.

Slick but not sedate. A superbly crafted farewell.

One half occupied by one long, mostly intrumental piece, the other more song-oriented. Classic Oldfield.
