John on one of his favourite 2004 albums…
In a recent magazine article, John reveled which was one of his favourite albums released in 2004. He also mentioned one which is yet to be released. “The Björk album,Medulla, really astoundsme:the things she is doing with vocals – there’s never been anything like it on a pop record.

Yet despite the disparate surroundings it was recorded in, Frances The Mute sounds utterly coherent and fully realised.
