The Sonoplasts

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. A disappointing visit to Turner Electrical to buy the new Blondie single. They'd sold out. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Michael Riesman, The Philip Glass Ensemble, Glassworks Sinéad O'Connor, Am I Not Your Girl? The Smiths, Strangeways, Here We Come Sinéad's amazing album of covers, complete with big band, was the soundtrack to the journey to my 1st job. Strangeways was my first Smiths' album. Glassworks I was gifted on cassette at school and still remains a favourite. (Derek) Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
