Review: La Roux burst into the public consciousness in 2009 with their self-titled debut album. It spoke of a duo who were already fully-formed, capable of writing and recording pristine pop gems to last a lifetime, and now, 13 years later, the proof is there for anyone to hear. Whether you're a Netflix surfer or spend all your time online, you will have heard at least four of the songs from this album being rinsed across advertising, TV and film. 'In For The Kill' is the consummate breakthrough single, instantly memorable and steeped in emotional heft, while 'Bulletproof' continues to be a rallying cry of empowerment. Relive this invincible album from start to finish thanks to a reissue from UMC.

Review: Named after dazzle camouflage, an approach to painting naval vessels in ways that would make it difficult for them to be targeted with the naked eye (used extensively in World War I, less so in World War II), OMD's fourth studio album also arrived on Telegraph, an imprint that never existed and was instead a fictitious platform backed by Virgin Records. There's no mistaking the fact this is Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, though, with the tracks here defining the band perfectly.
By that, we mean grand, epic overtures, a strange - at the time, groundbreaking - hybrid of electronic synth stuff with classical, Neo-operatics and rock & roll. It's evocative, immediately captivating and very difficult to make many assumptions about, with techniques such as sampling, looping and layering employed to incredible effect, without overshadowing the song craft itself. Which, it's safe to say, is approaching their artistic peak at this point.

Review: Too-Rye-Ay is one of those albums etched into the popular consciousness of the UK - the sound of a million pints being quaffed and bawdy singalongs from city centres to provincial locales. It's fascinating to learn that Dexys Midnight Runners' most popular album was a blight on their catalogue for bandleader Kevin Rowland, but 40 years on he's putting things right with a remixed version of the album. The idea of hearing 'Come On Eileen' in a whole new form is hard to imagine, but here's your chance, and who should we trust other than the artist themselves to say, this is Too-Rye-Ay as it should have sounded.
