“This shelf belongs entirely to the believers of big studio craft, stadium ambition, and meticulous British progressive arrangement. Eight hundred and sixty-eight records deep, with the eighties and nineties anchoring the weight of the collection through artists like U2, Genesis, and Porcupine Tree. You have got a proper obsession with intricate time signatures and massive production values, built on thirty-two hundred labels of pure melodic conviction. What makes this crate work is the connective tissue hiding in the fine print. When you pull Adele's 25 next to your prog runs, you realize the whole thing is tied together by session heavyweights like Tom Elmhirst and Alan Moulder working behind the glass across dozens of distinct sleeves. It is a massive, widescreen collection that refuses to do things by halves. Stop shelving Iamthemorning and give the room what it actually asked for.”

The Clerk's take
Frederick Jude is behind twenty-seven of your records.
Twenty-seven times you let this bloke sit in the control room and run the sessions. The man's name is buried in the liner notes of nearly thirty records and he doesn't even get a spine of his own. Proper ghost in the machine, innit.
Adele parked 25 on your shelf.

Tom Elmhirst mixed it, and he's across seven other records in this crate. Warm, bittersweet, soul-heavy pop that sounds mental on a rainy Tuesday afternoon.
The eighties are doing the heavy lifting here.
Two hundred and thirty-four records from the decade that gave us proper synth lines and gated drums, with the nineties right behind at two hundred and six. Proper depth across the board.
Spin Iamthemorning tonight, mate.

Belighted sat there for four months with zero spins and a single lonely physical owner on the network. Lush, art school prog that deserves better than gathering dust in the basement.
