Space Raiders ‘Don’t Be Daft’ (Skint, 1999)

byNeil Mason

Prince said we should party like it was 1999, and, as far as we know, he hadn’t even heard the debut album by Middlesbrough’s Space Raiders.

Bill Nelson ‘The Love That Whirls (Diary Of A Thinking Heart)’ (Mercury, 1982)

byNigel Huddlestone

As a kind of musicologist of the weird, his selections were never predictable and often a revelation.
