Music reviewer Grant Smithies goes ape this week over new double album Mirror from Wellington's Orchestra Of Spheres, then sheds a tear for dearly departed singer/guitarist Pete Shelley of Manchester punk pioneers, Buzzcocks.

We finish with a rare funk gem from mysterious Antiguan soul singer, West Phillips.
