    I'm Your Man

    Tone offers up Leonard Cohen's 1988 album. What will Paul make of Cohen's commitment to synth? What do the vocals of Jennifer Warnes bring to the party? Can we expect a call from the Jazz Police? And what's a persecuted Spanish poet got to do with all of this? For the answers to at least some of these questions, please try listening.

    Tone brings Harry Nilsson's 1971 album to the Turntable. Why was he so friendly with the Beatles (Nilsson not Tone)? Which song invented the power ballad? And why does Paul keep getting future echoes of Rufus Wainwright? For the answers to these - and possibly fewer - questions, please try listening.

    It's Episode 30, which means role reversal time. Paul offers up Portishead's Mercury Music Prize winner from 1994. The album is often credited with popularising trip hop, a term the band apparently hated. What will Tone make of the filmic soundscape, dense production and yearning vocals? And how horrified will he be to learn that studio techniques included surfing on vinyl discs? To find out, please try listening.

    Jesus of Cool

    Tone brings Nick Lowe's 1978 box of tricks to the Turntable. Effortless pop sensibility. Biting criticism of the music industry. The occasional gruesome lyric. What will Paul make of this musical smorgasbord? To find out, please try listening.

    Never for Ever

    Tone slips Kate Bush's 1980 LP on to the Turntable. How will Paul receive the Fairlight-inspired work? What schoolday memories will the album evoke for Tone? What will the pair of them make of Kate's legendary 1979 BBC special? For the answers to these questions - and more besides - please try listening.

    It's all gone rather dark at The Twilight Turntable as Tone offers the Sisters of Mercy for Paul's consideration. Is Andrew Eldritch an admirable musician or "Gary the Goth"? Are we to take him seriously or is the joke on us? Who or what is Doktor Avalanche? And what's the deal with former bandmates the Mission and leather hats? To find out, please try listening.

    Steve Pringle joins Tone and Paul at the Turntable, bringing with him the Isley Brothers' 1973 album. Tales of lazy, hazy days and a glass of something nice; a relatively unheralded guitar hero; the Isleys as a family business; close harmonies; outlandish synth; multiple cover versions; and a "record in transition", bridging the gap between soul and funk. How will Paul fare with two schoolmasters and "did he like it"? To find out, please try listening.

    Odessey and Oracle

    "Like a warm summer breeze", the Zombies' 1968 album blows through The Turntable. The pinnacle of a turbulent career? Something of a forgotten classic from a band that had already run its course? To find out...please try listening.
