The 40th Uncut Playlist Of 2014

A glut of very exciting 2015 music this week, but before you get to that, maybe check out the Milton Nascimento track below which, as KidVinil Vinil pointed out in the comments section beneath last week’s Uncut Playlist, is worth comparing with David Bowie’s “Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”.

Then have a listen to this lot. 8:58, by the way, is Paul Hartnoll, one half of Orbital until they split up the other day.
