Eight favourite albums selected by that Fairlight Fellow.

When we quizzed TD on his fab-most waxings, he'd not long finished smashing up an SH101 on stage (full story Shredder, page 83). Fortunately he was in a cooler mood when we spoke to him, and was just off for a day at Lords before jetting to Japan to do rock star type things. Bestest instrument? "Wave PPG 2.2." Bestest plans? "A holiday."
