#OrchestralManoeuvres no 25 Odyssey - Inside Out youtu.be/FXt9CfOV0lc?... Written by my fellow Scot, Jesse Rae, this did well in the charts, but most importantly, is loved at soul, disco and house clubs. Reminds me of the great Suncebeat fest in Croatia 😎

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 24 Amy Winehouse - Rehab youtu.be/KUmZp8pR1uc?... One of the greatest talents to ever come from the UK. She was still so young and had so much still to give. Her music is forever though 💚

Thirty years ago today the film adaptation of best book ever written by man or woman was released. It is the best film ever made by man or woman 💚

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 23 Gang Starr - Moment of Truth youtu.be/VKvjjpPvg5o?... Very personal lyrics from Guru on his 'Moment of Truth' in his own life and Prem again matching with the perfect beat. They were the perfect duo. They were the Truth!!

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 22 DJ Sneak - Show Me The Way youtu.be/xBBQGx7qMu4?... The Chicago legend samples a very well known musical family. I've seen Sneak blow up many a party and his productions bitd are timeless. One of the best 😎🪩🔊

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 21 4hero - Star Chasers youtu.be/COoQF2ne7C0?... Deep and dreamy from the pioneering and sometimes underrated 4hero. One of the most important dance/electronic artists from UK of the 90s, who kept it real by never going celebrity or selling out...MAW mix is brilliant too

Share an iconic album cover #MusicSky

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 18 Jeff Mills - See This Way youtu.be/TLffkPpGNPw?... The trailblazing Jeff Mills takes his techno sounds to an orchestra. Jeff is king of techno imo and a genius. This Blue Potential live album of his music with an orchestra still has that out of world groove.

What a striking coincidence given the date….. From a pal on another channel: youtu.be/NTVwT3j_zqY

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 17 Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday youtu.be/d0LeL9BUPtA?... I think the song is meant to be about being bored or depressed with a wee town, but I feel there is something more warm and lighthearted about the song. The music is great too. One of Mozza's best

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 16 Soul II Soul - Back to Life youtu.be/TB54dZkzZOY?... A party anthem and an anthem for being grateful for having what we've got. I'm sure Caron was singing about coming through a health scare. And the 🎻 are iconic... a classic

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Keep fighting 💪 🍀🙏💚

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 15 Faze Action - Into The Trees youtu.be/eoCCCE2Mpkg?... Massive track on the uk underground scene back then, and still today. All heads from different genre backgrounds felt this. Classic

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 14 Chic - I Want Your Love youtu.be/hjqPmqXy7nc?... An amazing piece of music and vocal performance. Saw this live in concert and witnessed many a dance floor lose their sh*t to this classic.. and it's St Valentines 💝

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 13 Kenickie - I Would Fix You youtu.be/kBtR279DnFE?... A lovely song about being there for a pal or a partner during tough times, I think. Remimds me of summertime. The lassie Lauren did well for herself

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 12 David Axelrod - The Smile youtu.be/-8V8T3fN4B0?... I was introduced to DA through hip-hop as he was sampled by some of the greats: Dilla, Pete Rock, Madlib, Dre. And Theo and Gilles played his stuff. The Verve always quoted him too. Real deal legend

youtu.be/hfI8BnSycGs?... J Dilla TV interview

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 11 Ian Brown - Whispers youtu.be/82VMBj6E1aQ?... I would have loved to have put FEAR on the list, but I put that on 00s. Still, this is a great track. I feel Brown's solo work can be overlooked at times. Made some solid albums. And he's still kool and hard af 🎤🥋

#OrchestralManoeuvres no 6 Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph youtu.be/cPRKsKwEdUQ?... To get that signature cinematic Wu sound, the great Rza liked his strings. This was a long-awaited single when it was released, and the Wu didn't disappoint. Rza and the boyz were untouchable (Wu and solo albums) for years
