“This shelf is an absolute fortress built on stadium ambition, meticulous prog, and towering 80s walls of sound. U2 at nineteen records deep sets the tone, but the real spine runs through those heavy prog vaults with Porcupine Tree and The Pineapple Thief holding down decades of meticulous musicianship. You can feel the weight of the 1980s pulling the whole cabinet together with 227 records anchored in that decade alone, closely backed by the 1990s. Then you look closer and spot the cross-pollination between electronic production and massive rock arrangements—guys like Ash Howes and Sister Bliss showing up across multiple shelves alongside Faithless. It is a proper, sprawling collection that takes its time building up complete runs from artists rather than dipping a toe in. Pull out the Peter Gabriel soundtrack that has been gathering dust for three months and let the layers breathe. The curation is solid, mate.”
