    Tone offers up Leonard Cohen's 1988 album. What will Paul make of Cohen's commitment to synth? What do the vocals of Jennifer Warnes bring to the party? Can we expect a call from the Jazz Police? And what's a persecuted Spanish poet got to do with all of this? For the answers to at least some of these questions, please try listening.

    Tone brings Harry Nilsson's 1971 album to the Turntable. Why was he so friendly with the Beatles (Nilsson not Tone)? Which song invented the power ballad? And why does Paul keep getting future echoes of Rufus Wainwright?

    For the answers to these - and possibly fewer - questions, please try listening.

    It's Episode 30, which means role reversal time. Paul offers up Portishead's Mercury Music Prize winner from 1994. The album is often credited with popularising trip hop, a term the band apparently hated. What will Tone make of the filmic soundscape, dense production and yearning vocals? And how horrified will he be to learn that studio techniques included surfing on vinyl discs?
