Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. The BugLondon Zoo

"Listening to it as we drove away from The 1 In 12 in Bradford, then you all fell asleep, and I hallucinated all the way back down the M1 due to whatever had happened the night before and being whoppingly overtired… I saw people on the road, I swerved to avoid them. Good job none of you saw it. Drank all of Bob’s booze when we got to his at 3 am, listened to Little Angels 7"s, then fell asleep" – was what I e-mailed the others post gig recently. London Zoo is a classic. One of the few records in this world we all agree on, although Duncan prefers Pressure.
