I guess it is more diverse, with Hannah, Ashley, Zoe, Tony and myself as well as some pretty great instrumentals Air For Life etc, just feels a little old now. I think the boys did very well with the curse of the 2nd album, I know a few were shocked a little by the direction of GT but for me it was a healthy evolution.

No order.

no order



REM - Automatic for the people

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space

Bob Dylan - Blood on the tracks

Belle and Sebastian - If your feeling sinister

Belle and sebastian - The boy with the Arab Strap

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

To be honest, I see Oceanlab as a very distinct project from Above & Beyond.

It being centred around Justine, soundwise it doesnt feel like Above & Beyond to me

Oceanlab is for me much more like Motorcycle or Andain for Gabriel & Dresden or Velvetine for Myon & Shane 54.

The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love

The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico

Yes - Going For The One

Shearwater - Animal Joy

Elliott Smith - Figure 8

Kevin Tihista's Red Terror - Don't Breathe A Word

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

REM - Murmur

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Bwyd Time

Uncle Tupelo - No Depression



God that took some time, I could have done it another time and I would have come up with 6 or 7 different albums.

That's what I meant! It was a good way to get away from making a "pressured" 2nd album in making the Oceanlab album

Deep purple- in rock
