Steven Stapleton/David Tibet – Musical Pumpkin Cottage
Great collab between NWW and Current93 guys. The krautrock influence is at its highest on this album. Two long tracks, the first of which starts off sounding like a marriage of the Cosmic Jokers’ ‘Sternenmädchen’ album and Sand’s ‘Golem’. Great stuff.
Franz Ferdinand – Franz Ferdinand
A great pop record. Simple as that. Played it to death this week.
Razmo – 4 Jams
Not called that, but that’s what this CDR that Razmo Dave from this very site sent me is. Great head-nodding, foot-tapping stuff on here, and it’s amazing to think this is all plucked from the air as it’s played. Talented bunch this lot.
Morton Feldman –
Can’t remember the catch-all title, but it’s got ‘De Kooning’, ‘For Franz Klein’ and ‘The O’Hara Songs’ on it. Used for late night drifting, though a loud drum roll in the middle of the last piece jolts the listener back to cold reality.
Nurse With Wound – Soliloquy For Lilith
Great, uneasy, crepuscular music.
And that’s about all really. Too busy feeling ill, working on my own things and playing the new-shag Franz Ferdinand album to death to listen to anyone else’s stuff this week.
