The below are the bands I've listend to most in February on iTunes or my iPod. Inspiration, downtime, or just to keep me company whilst I work. This list made up a large part of my soundtrack over the last 28 days...

February also saw five new entries, and a host of re-entries, into the list. The highest new entry is Cabaret Voltaire at #7 which is down to me discovering that a number of their back catalog had been reissued on CD for the first time in probably 20 years. I had a bunch of old vinyl LPs from them which I used to listen to a lot but finding reasonably priced second hand CDs of their past albums was a nightmare so the reissue was a dream come true.

I was surprised The Herbaliser (NE #33) hadn't appeared on my lists before as I listen to them quite a bit - but I guess never enough times each month to have 'charted' before. I even use a take on the opening track on their 'Very Mercenary" album as my intro on my 'About' sections on Facebook and Live Journal. Other new entries this month were Ashbury Heights, Ghostland and Avicii.

Here is February's Top 50 taken from my playlist:
