The flute lends a magical eastern touch to this glorious title track off Hedges' 1998 Grammy winning album.

One Brown Mouse/Jethro Tull

Glorious vocal harmonies characterise this song off Jethro Tull's exquisitely produced album Heavy Horses (1978). Barlow's drumming is the icing on the cake.

Great Albums (Thinking In Textures/Chet Faker)

Year: 2012

The debut EP by Australian electronica artist Chet Faker, Thinking In Textures combines R&B inspired vocals with downtempo backing tracks to deliver thirty minutes of sheer groove-laden bliss. The melodies are catchy but not intrusive, and you can probably play the album on loop while going about your work.

Personal Picks: "No Diggity (cover)" and "Cigarettes And Chocolate"
