Admittedly this is clearly not quite as "lost" as the rest of this year's other Lost 11 picks (it's at #20 in our year-end, for starters!), it's an album which doesn't seem to have quite connected, for whatever reasons, with our staff.

In these increasingly fractious times, where amid a deluge of opinion consensus is hard-veering-on-impossible to find, records are increasingly lost but over the course of this week, ahead of next week's 50 albums of the year listageddon, DiS will be highlighting 11 records from 11 of our staff, in the hope that they finally find a place in a record collection or two...
