This Mortal Coil – Kangaroo

The soundtrack to my life: 1984.

 

 

I was always a fan of many kinds of music. I also liked Prince, The Pointer Sisters, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Cramps, (Rufus and) Chaka Khan, Sister Sledge and Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel.

 

But this album was on heavy rotation.

Björk – There’s More To Life Than This

I quite fancy the idea of nicking a boat and stealing off to an island in a cheeky Icelandic fashion.
