Can you believe it's been three years since we were joined by Mr. Pete Wiggs himself to discuss Saint Etienne's latest studio album, I've Been Trying To Tell You, as well as their debut, Foxbase Alpha? And what an absolute joy he was to talk to. (Dan accidentally says it's been two years on the episode...)
To celebrate this momentous occasion we're releasing our Saint Etienne episode of Further Listening across all podcast platforms, where we share ten of our favourite deep cuts from the band. Pete, Bob and Sarah are incredibly generous with their content, so it wasn't an easy job to whittle it down.

We said there'd be more Erasure in 2024, and we've kept our 'Promises' (wink wink, nudge nudge). Didn't want to give you any, ahem, 'Reason' to fall out with us. And we'll leave the terrible puns there.
This week we're celebrating 10 years of Erasure's The Violet Flame. Their sixteenth studio album saw them return to the Top 20 UK Albums chart for the first time in over a decade, as Richard X joined them on production duties.

Surprise! For this epic album we couldn't squeeze it all into one episode (…we talked a lot), so here’s side B of Introspective, and our Further Listening choices.

Happy 6th Birthday to us! And here we go with our penultimate track by track dive into a Pet Shop Boys album: the epic, but oh so short, IIntrospective.

All this Britpop talk has gotten us heading back into the archives for this new episode. We’re talking about 1996's The It Girl from Sleeper — another band from the nineties out there showing their 'Cool Britannia' credentials, and still out there today.

As voted for by you, for our belated Duran Duran Appreciation Day celebrations we're going track by track through their third studio album, Seven And The Ragged Tiger. And there's much to discuss with this one, including new producers, huge chart positions and some stellar album tracks, despite what the original reviews might have said.

If only we could turn back time... Well we have in this new episode where we dig deep into the archives for our fun and energetic take on Aqua's debut album, Aquarium. Is it a cheesy hit of dopamine or something more? You decide!

We've enjoyed Ian Wade's music musings for many years now, so we were thrilled when he announced his debut book, 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer. On our first bookish episode we're joined by Ian to discuss the book, 1984 (not the novel), and some of the key artists and tracks featured in the book and mammoth playlist that accompanies it.
Let us know your thoughts on the episode, the tracks and the book on the socials @trackbytrackuk or [email protected] -
Ahead of them headlining Latitude, we're sharing ten of our favourite Duran Duran deep cuts on the latest episode of Further Listening. It's unlikely any of these gems will make the setlist, but we're sure you're going to love them... Maybe you already do?

In our second new episode this week we’re talking about our favourite male pop duo (who are brothers), SPARKS! This time we’re diving in to their 1979 record, ‘No. 1 in Heaven’ a collaboration for the ages with Giorgio Moroder. If you haven't heard their work before join us to find out why we think they're one of the greats, with a lifetime spanning career, and still going strong now. Also a great episode to check out if you're a fan of Noël...
Our first Sparks episode, Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins, is definitely worth your time and available over on our Patreon archive, Team Track By Track, for just £3 a month (or however long it takes you to get through 80+ exclusive episodes). -
FINALLY, after being asked to feature Prince on the podcast for SO long, we're going track by track through one of his albums - and what an album! Purple Rain is one of those that appears on every 'best album ever' list, and was at #4 on Apple Music's recent Top 100 Albums.
So join us as we discuss the album, some iconic singles, stunningly-titled b-sides and demos, the film, the stories from behind the scenes, and much more.
Do let us know your thoughts on the album and the episode on the socials (@trackbytrackuk) or email us at [email protected]. -
We're headed way back in this episode to early in Kylie's career and discussing Let's Get To It. Her fourth album saw Kylie start to branch away from her signature SAW sound in the first of many glorious reinventions. There is much to enjoy and reminisce about, so join us and let us know your memories @trackbytrackuk & [email protected]
