In the meantime, check out this list of albums suggested by the Camp Bestival attendees. It has some of the usual greats along with a lot of new suggestions (from The Congos to The Dead Kennedys). Another great read…

Maybe the most versatile suggestion list from the past month’s session - from pop to soul to metal to rock to new wave to new age to electronic to house and even our first alt country suggestion (Flying Burrito Brothers - yeah!).

“Music is the closest thing we have to real magic. Sometimes it comes easy … sometimes it takes a little bit more time and a lot more patience. Both these albums were a labour of love for Dad."

Wow - some nice jazz suggestions here. Love the Pat Metheny and it has to be said that anything on the ECM label is like sonic nirvana! He and Lyle Mays have a lot of great albums but this one is truly special.

An interesting read spanning the scope of the “credibil-o-meter” from Joni Mitchell at one obvious end to Girls Aloud on the other.

This is definitely my favourite Grace Jones album as not only does it include the fantastic Flash and the Pan and Iggy Pop covers but it also features my favourite ever Grace Jones song, “I’ve Done It Again”, which I believe is about reincarnation.

Kate Bush's self-produced fifth album was a highly structured song cycle where conceptual experimentation was married with pop conciseness.

Here are the suggestions that were made at our fantastic Syd Barrett “The Madcap Laughs” listening session at The Idea Generation Gallery as well as our monthly April CAS session.

We are getting numerous requests for Bob Marley, Brian Eno, Scott Walker, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis so will have to represent these soon!
