Classic 80’s track from Liverpool band A Flock of Seagulls (what a great name!). There is some pretty special style on display in the video too.

This is an excellent, chilled out re-imagining of an early-90’s classic by British band Soul II Soul. I discovered it via the excellent Far From Cyan blog.

Aretha Franklin – I’m Trying To Overcome
I stumbled across this classic track by Aretha this week. I hadn’t heard it before but it’s pretty great. The easy power of her voice still makes me sit up and take notice even after all these years.

Van Morrison – Listen to the lion
Between one thing and another the past couple of weeks have been rather stressful. As a result I have found myself gravitating to more mellow music. This meandering, dreamy number from Van Morrison, taken from 1972’s Saint Domoinic’s Preview, did just the trick today.
