Sidestepper is a Colombian band with its roots deep in the heart of…England. Richard Blair was an studio engineer for Peter Gabriel when he fell in love with the music of a Colombian singer named Toto La Momposina. He journeyed to Colombia to visit her for a couple of weeks, and ended up staying for three years. His growing love of the local music led to the formation of Sidestepper, and it’s been Blair’s passion since 1996. 3AM (In Beats We Trust) is the group’s third album, and it’s maybe their best. Sidestepper is important as they were able to bring the traditional sounds of Colombia and meld them with a modern electronic drum and bass sound. The results are pretty fantastic.
No singles were released from 3AM, and there were no hits. It was never a huge seller, so its exposure to English speaking audiences, particularly in America, has been limited. But this is an album that you may want to take the time to search for…there are plenty of rhythmic and catchy surprises, and you’ll find that it’s not just good instrumentally, but also all but one track features vocals. Probably the best thing about Sidestepper is that it’s evident from the first listen that this is truly a labor of love. Blair didn’t just fall in love with this music…he honors it. He expands on it, and he makes records that are fine tributes to it. Well worth checking out. [First added to this chart: 02/13/2025]

As comebacks go, this one ranks as pretty big. The last studio album from The Who had been their tenth, It’s Hard. That was in 1982. John Entwistle played on that one (he died twenty years after), as did Keith Moon’s replacement, Kenney Jones. Endless Wire was released twenty four years later. By this time, The Who was the duo of Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey with a cast of musicians. Filling the spots once held by Moon and Entwistle. Of course, Endless Wire is not the same Who that blurred the edges of rock in the sixties and seventies. Daltrey still has great range, although he sounds much older. And while Townshend’s genius is on full display, his songwriting is no longer cutting edge. But you can’t blame the guys for trying, and you can’t fault their effort.
Tracks ten through nineteen are under the umbrella of Wire & Glass: A Mini-Opera, and much of it was released on an EP a few months before the album. The album has also been adapted (by Townshend) as a rock musical for stage. Much of this album is acoustic, and Townshend plays most of the instruments, as well as singing lead on seven songs. “Black Widow’s Eyes”, “Mirror Door” and “It’s Not Enough” are the best songs here. Endless Wire is not, by any means, on a par with The Who’s best work. This is not the group who barreled through albums like Tommy and Who’s Next and Quadrophenia like the rock and roll superstars they were. But what Endless Wire does do is show that their spirit lives on. That makes this worthwhile…just not great. [First added to this chart: 08/08/2025]

In 1987, Depeche Mode was just starting to catch on in America. It was their sixth album, Music For The Masses, along with the following tour, that made this happen. But while mostly ignored in the states (except for on Los Angeles radio station KROQ), they had built quite the following in their native United Kingdom as a consistently very good band. In fact, every one of their fifteen studio albums has reached the UK top ten. This record is the follow up to 1986’s Black Celebration, and it’s just as good. They had their sound really down pat, and the songwriting was improving from one record to the next. They were becoming better known not just in the US, but in multiple countries. Slowly but surely, Depeche Mode was becoming one of the better bands anywhere. Taking over the world, if you will.
Music For The Masses is led by the fine “Strangelove”, but there’s much more here to love. “Litte 15”, “Never Let Me Down Again” and “Behind The Wheel” are great as well…there is no longer anything tinny or thin about their sound. Dave Gahan’s vocals are strong, and the songwriting of Martin Gore just keeps getting better. Being sandwiched between Black Celebration and 1990’s exceptional Violator means that Music For The Masses is sometimes forgotten, but it’s as solid as anything else in their catalog. Depeche Mode is now just Gahan and Gore, but they are still going strong, having released their fifteenth album (Memento Mori) in 2023. Their output from the eighties is important and always worth listening to, and that absolutely includes Music For The Masses. [First added to this chart: 08/08/2025]

Blind Faith only existed for about six months. But they are still talked about to this day, going on sixty years later. Eric Clapton had left Cream, and Steve Winwood put Traffic on hiatus. The two began playing together, adding Cream’s drummer Ginger Baker, then finally bassist Ric Grech from Family. It was quite a supergroup lineup, but also one that never had the time to become what it maybe could have been. They were rushed into the studio, then rushed to record what was hoped to become a massively successful album. Blind Faith was released just over five months after the band formed, and they broke up for good less than a month later. There was also the album cover…it was considered controversial in the UK, not because of the girl pictured, but because of the airplane she was holding, which some though to be phallic.
Because the album was rushed, it sounds somewhat incomplete. There is some legendary greatness here: “Can’t Find My Way Home” is still a radio staple, and one of Winwood’s best songs. “Presence Of The Lord” is one of Clapton’s best works, and it’s pure guitar gold. It was actually Clapton’s only songwriting contribution…the rest were by Winwood, with the overlong space filling jam “Do What You Like” by Baker, and “Well All Right” being a Buddy Holly cover. The result is an album that’s half great and half might have been great had they been given more time. Blind Faith was done almost before it came out, but it’s still a pretty important piece of rock history. The bonus tracks don’t add a lot…both were written by Grech, who was the least interesting member. Historically valid, but short of greatness. [First added to this chart: 08/27/2025]
