(These are, in this moment of time, my 100+ favourite albums. This list will constantly be revised:) In the January edition of Mojo, Robert Wyatt was asked what his all time favorite album is, if it comes push to shove: he chose Duke Ellington’s “Such Sweet Thunder”. There’s still a lot lurking in the underground. Worlds within worlds within worlds.)
