Some nice choices so far. Here's mine:





And pretty much anything by this bloke:

Love & Rockets - Eath, Sun, Moon

Japan.

Good music is good music, and it remains so even when the weather is marvellous/horrible

Hence my nominating Japan.

but some tunes are made for these long sunny days -
Spiritualized : Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space®
to pluck one album out of this thin, still, summer air

It's good alright, but THIS is better.

Thankee Michael that's the first Sm3 tune I've heard and liked
I think it was that Mr. Boom chappy who gave me problems, a friend gave me his album Spectrum, like for free and to keep, I gave her it back.

Just heard that single of theirs that's out now, very nice indeed.

Jocko Homo Products could sort this for you, as soon as ma new blank discs come

Black Sabbath is very good summer music. Especially when driving. The knobheads that annoy everyone with banging R'n'B on 10000000 Watt sound systems have got competition!

Not the whole album.
The track Hello earth is very much associated with summer nights. And the stars.

I just rmemberd that this album now is more than 20 years old...
An I just remembered I haven´t listened to it for ages! Thanks for inspiring me!

They Might be Giants
Joy Division
Jayhawks
Ride

I just play some Atari Teenage Riot/Young Gods if those 10000000 Watt sound system people annoy me

fair enough, but I think ATR would annoy me almost as much as the R'n'B/(c)rap/whatever they generally listen to.

I find them invigorating like a cool, sharp breeze Only in small doses. For the Sabbath vibe I try these....

Bit o' 4AD loveliness always goes down well... some Cocteau Twins or Deid Can Dance .

Kraftwerk's good when you're going on holiday (especially if you go the kind of places I go, and you actually are having fun fun fun on the autobahn ).

Project Pitchfork always work for me in a similar Teutronik way.

Siouxsie - Hyaena for me because that was the only album of theirs I bought at the start of summer. Floodland for the same reason... I always associate the music I own very closely with the time I got it.

Wench's self-titled album was great as well, before I lost it. Seems to be all they've released - like a cross between Delerium and Einsturzende Neubauten with a powerful, deep female vocal. Good stuff.

And what summer choonz collection would be complete without a little James Rays Gangwar/Performance?!?!

I always think of The Sisters as autumn/winter music. See Nine While Nine / Driven Like The Snow

They're more of a springtime thing for me, but that's for the same reasons as boudicca.

Lemme see - "In spring a young man's fancy turns to.... THE SISTERS OF MERCY!!!!"

Durrrnnn duhhhn duurrrnnnhhh durnnnhhh.

Wire's Chairs Missing and 154 were two I got in the summertime, so I allas equate them with hot sunny days, Zeppelin III is the ultimate summer album.
