Catch Up Day 1 - Blue
This album title never fails to crack me up. Inherited from my late father in law.

Catch Up Day 4 - Sweetness
I struggled for this one. I am not a fan of this album at all, really. I have it because I bought it thinking it contained a sample used in Tosca’s track Honey on the Suzuki album (which I would have sworn I had but seems I do not, I must just remember almost buying one in a store, then, wtf). Turns out the sample was Sunny by Boney M.
Martin Denny - A Taste of Honey

VMP to the rescue. I was pretty psyched to get this sign up freebie as I was a big fan ahead of Storf. Aptly titled.

Floating Points - Kuiper
I assume this album is named for the asteroid belt beyond Neptune, or maybe for its astronomer namesake, but in any case it's a spaced-out, jazzy electronic trip beyond this world.

Day 5: Neil Armstrong’s Birthday
Childish Gambino - “Awaken, My Love!”
The album has an incredibly spacey vibe to it, and that’s before we even get into the VR content!

Day 3: 3rd album
Kevin Morby - Singing Saw
His best and it's not close. My girlfriend bought me this record for my birthday a few years ago after I'd been streaming it obsessively for a couple months. That was actually the impetus for me getting back into records.

Day 4: Sweet
Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts feat. Karen O - Milano
Pressed on zabaoine-coloured vinyl, a northern Italian dessert, and with a Big Gulp on the cover. Haven't listened to this in a while but it's a great record that was somehow in the VMP store on sale for ages.

The Curtis Counce Quintet – Exploring The Future (Dootone Records, 1970 Pressing)
I love the cover art for this album, its just so funny. Definitely spacey although he probably needs to put his helmet on asap!

The not so obvious but still pretty obvious record:
Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
funny how our listening changes over time. I’m over how odd this album is and am entranced with the fun stereo mix.

Catch up!
Day 1:
An album related to Bluegrass:
Various Artists - Music from Red Dead Redemption 2
I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea what to do for this one. I kinda just went with the most western/country thing I had so
Day 2:
An album with a unique adjective describing its color:
Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
The F.Y.E variant was advertised as “purple grape candy.” I mean, ok. It’s just a purple with hints of red and blue in it.
Day 3:
The third album by an artist:
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
I’ll admit, this album was a grower to me. It took a while for it to get stuck with me, but now, I’m glad it did, because this album is wonderful, even if I still prefer Demon Days to it.
Day 4:
A “sweet” album:
Mariah Carey - Daydream
It’s a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Day 5:
An album that takes me to space:
Rush - 2112
The title track is the most 70’s sci-fi thing I’ve ever heard, and I love it so much.
Getting ahead:
Day 6:
An album about lightning:
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
And... the award for most obvious album choice for a clue goes to this pick right here!
