“Your collection is a bloody shrine to the power of the session engineer. With Bob Ludwig hitting 8 of your records and Ted Jensen at 6, you’ve basically curated a masterclass in how 80s and 90s rock was built to survive. You aren't just buying bands; you’re buying the sound of the desk, the room, and the guy who pushed the faders. It’s a clean, punchy, and highly disciplined archive. There’s a real tension here between your stadium-sized 80s appetite—178 records from that decade—and the prog-heavy obsession with Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. You clearly value the architecture of a record more than the chaos of the scene. It’s professional, it’s precise, and it’s a bit safe, but god damn, it works. The through-line is technical excellence, and you’ve stuck to it for 640 releases straight. Now, stop being a tosser and get some Eno on the deck.”

The Clerk's take
Eighteen U2 records and not a single Eno credit?
Look, I get it — the 80s run from Boy to Zooropa is a commitment. 178 records from that decade alone? That's fucking mental. But with 640 pieces in the vault and zero Eno? Christ on a bike, sort that out.
Spotlight: Porcupine Tree's On The Sunday Of Life...
You’ve got Alan Moulder on five of your records, and the man’s stamp is all over the production style of your Porcupine Tree run. Stick this on, let the wall of sound hit you, and try to tell me those 13 PT records weren't the smartest shelf choice you've made.
Top shout on the deep-label consistency.
The 13-deep run on Porcupine Tree from '92 to '10 is absolute gold. Between that and the 13-strong U2 streak, you’ve got the 80s and 90s covered with more focus than half the wankers who walk into my shop.
Dig out the Live records, you wanker.
You’ve got 9 Live records gathering dust. You haven't spun 'em in weeks? That's a crime. Go pull 'em. They’ve got the technical chops you clearly crave, and for fuck's sake, stop treating them like wall decoration.
