One of the most underrated LPs of the 80s - and the one that always got me through my darkest teenage years. Without fail. Their first, and - their best. #bigcountry #thecrossing #music #ripstuartadamson youtu.be/m5K-NJhRxzE?...

“Anticipation” • Portpatrick, SW Scotland #scotland #portpatrick #harbour #water #reflection #coastal #summer #dumfriesandgalloway

The gatehouse of Crossraguel Abbey, near Maybole in Ayrshire. Founded in the 13th century by Duncan, 1st Earl of Carrick. It is halfway between Paisley and Whithorn on the pilgrims' trail to the shrine of St Ninian. #blackandwhitephotography #Scotland #Ayrshire #SouthernScotland

St. Michael’s Bridge, to the Spire of the Same Name, Dumfries. #photography #scotland #rivernith #dumfries #bridges #spires #spring #river #arches #bluesky #blueskies #cherryblossom

The LP that started it all and, the first I ever bought; at the tender age of 9, it took me 4 months to save enough pocket money for it. This track, the last on the album, would have easily satisfied being the first! Still amazing, today! #thepolice #reggattadeblanc #music youtu.be/woG54UNJRrE?...

Probably the most incredible track I’ve ever listened to. From the inimitable Danny Carey’s perspective - this has to be heard to be believed. Holy fuck! #music #tool #pneumo #altmetal #fearinoculum #progmetal #drummer #polyrhythmic youtu.be/FssULNGSZIA?...

TOOL’s mind-blowing “Fear Inoculum” from 2019 • This album gets fresher and more potent with every listen. Impossible to even contemplate taking a single track off my playlist. Aurally stunning… #TOOL #fearinoculum #artmetal #progmetal #progrock #artrock #metal #polyrhythmic #music
