Come on down and blow your mind - Decca have raided the vaults for an electrified look at the British psych scene. They take the heavier road here, eschewing the pastoral for wigged-out selections. Think early Stones, rather than Fairport Convention.

Exiting ‘Cafe Exil’, messrs Stanley and Wood continue their Bowie-themed journey, picking up seemingly disparate wares from the likes of Cabaret Voltaire, Daryl Hall, Grauzone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Walker Brothers, and Patrick Cowley for this utterly beguiling sonic adventure through the psychogeography of a divided Berlin.

It’s a home away from home.

Another on-the-money Two-Piers selection! Start in the 80s and take a DIY dive into the underground of the past 40 years through the anti-club culture of 7” B-sides, handmade record sleeves, fanzines and button badges of the largely press-ignored, underrated brilliance of these indie-pop flag flyers.

From early lyrical insinuations and the unabashed freedom of disco to confrontational protest songs, this compilation is a striking ode to the indelible impact of queer culture on music and the perfect companion to Jon’s book of the same name
