Sorry, thought i'd jump the gun and start this early, as i'm working tomorrow (if i've trodden on any toes, forgive me!:P ) Aural delights this week have been............. Cabaret Voltaire - 'Original Sound Of Sheffield 83-87' - these boys really were ahead of their time - nifty stuff. Virgin Prunes - 'Sons Find Devils' - live mix album - classic era Prunes stuff. Currently their only available cd - tho this is about to change - see other thread! The Smiths - 'Hatful Of Hollow' - my fave Smiths album - good early raw songs without the 1st album's gloss (if you like! - see 'What Difference Does It Make?'). Psychic TV - 'Splinter Test Box 1' - great 3cd set of Ptv soundtrack material. 'Elipse Ov Flowers' is material recorded specifically for Derek Jarman movies and is my fave. 'Tarot Ov Abomination' is mainly spoken word, but interesting enough, whilst 'Stained By Dead Horses' is a good mixture of early PTv and a Coum Transmissions piece - fantastic! Shock Headed Peters - 'Several Headed Enemy' - album rom 1992 - bit light-weight this, but still interesting and features traditional scary vocals from Mr Blake. Also listened, once again, to 'Not Born Beautiful' - still my fave! Aranos - 'Transfixiatio' - just sounds like a 50+min version of a track from one of the albums he did with Nurse With Wound ('Acts Of Senseless Beauty') - however, thats fine with me, cos i love that album. Great to have this album playing in the background - as you can just let it drift in and out of your awareness. Dead Voices On Air - 'Shap' - love this - numerous short tracks of Zoviet France-like experimentation - lovely : ) God its hot here - someone turn on a sprinkler!!!!!! |

This week: Drunjus - s/t: Pastoral drones and clanging from the 23 Productions camp. Vibracathedral Orchestra - double lp: Finally got a new needle for the record player. Hypnotic... and strangely danceable at times! V/A - The Golden Apples of the Sun: Comp of the various new US acoustic types... some of it is stultifyingly boring (cf. Iron and Wine), but I really like the tracks by Josephine Foster (something of Shirley Collins about her voice and banjo playing), Matt Valentine, Troll (a bit Damon and Naomi?) and... Joanna Newsom - The Milk Eyed Mender: I thought an album of her Shirley Temple warbling might be a bit trying, but it works well and her harp playing is beautiful. Steeleye Span - Heark The Village Wait: Can't beat a bit of the old Span... Soft Cell - Nonstop Erotic Cabaret: Third attempt at buyging this lp - first time it was scratched to fuck, second time the sleeve actually contained the soundtrack to the movie Carousel, but this time things worked out.

Will-o-the wisp - S/T (1999) Caravanesque psych progsters from Greece, nice and dreamy. Ford Theatre - Trilogy For The Masses (1968) psych album find of the year, utterly brilliant New Dawn - There's A New Dawn (1970) Zero 7 - Simple Things (2001) cos the sun's been shining and this is the perfect album for it Relatively Clean Rivers (1976) another good one for hot sunny days.

That band TRoll have a cd out for $12 from Orange Sun. I can't find the home URL now. I looked it up when I got the Golden Apples cd. I can find a few of theirs at Aquarius though http://www.aquariusrecords.org/cat/rockpop115.html Oh yeah, Arthur Magazine the same people who did Golden Apples have done another compi http://www.arthurmag.com/store/bastet_cds.php this time contemporary psych groups +the easiest way to buy early Steeleye these days is to go for the Lark in the Morning 2cd which is all 3 Ashley Hutchings lps in chronological order. unlike Recall's Hills of Greenmore which had all of them but for 3 tracks in pretty random order. Lovely stuff and I'd reccommend that book The Guv'nor on AH too. Stevo Np Cure Pornography

My music was in boxes most of the week, but upon unpacking these were the first 3 things I listened to (whilst continuing to unpack): Klaus Schulze - Cyborg (still not sure what to make of this one -- it's "great" but hard to find the proper "function" for it -- not unpacking music, really!) Boredoms - Vision! Creation! NuSon! (bangin', but I still like Auper Ape better.) Pink Fairies - Wotta Buncha Sweeties (my fave by them, so debauched and greezy-kozmik.)

If You Cant Please Yourself You Cant Please Your Soul: Got a vynil copy from ebay fairly cheap. It's a bit different from what i was expecting really, even though i am familiar with a few of the artists already... nice sleave and stuff though! Pixies - Surfa Rosa & Come On Pilgrim: Even though i've had it for a while i never really got into it, though this week i did. Meat Puppets II: This is such a good album and sounds even better when drinking whisskey on a hot evening :) Super Furry Animals - Radiator: Fun :) Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs: What an album! (cheers aqk) I have managed to listen to it all the way through twice so far (3 discs.. almost 3 hours of music) and there are sooo few weak tracks. Will listen to this plenty more i think. Coil - Stolen and Contaminated Songs: This compliments Love's Secret Domain very well and to think a lot of this would of gone unreleased! Coil - Unreleased Hellraiser Themes: Hmm, i was expecting something a lot more creepy and full on. This isnt crap or anything but does sound very much like "soundtrack" music to me. Well, think that is about all... have a good week!

Futureheads - Futureheads Nice 'angular' early XTC soundalikes, take my hifi by storm....mind you 15 tracks in 36 odd minutes tells you how short and too the point the tracks are. Great inna pop punk kinda way. Ikara Colt - Chat And Business Wire Meets The Fall via 90's Camden wannabees Elevate. S'great, though they should loose the female backing vocals...adds nothing to the sound. Einsturzende Neubauten - Strategies III S'great this, it's basically a comp' of their later stuff , still worth it for the 'live' bits and alternate takes from stuff like Ende Neu etc... Speaking of Which... Einsturzende Neubauten - Ende Neu Das Ist Gut, Jah!! Not as 'industrial' as their earlier outings, but some damn fine production, and chock full of great noises and almost 'real' songs. Still not quite up there with my fav's Halber Mensche & Tabular Rasa, but still, mighty fine stuff The Heads - Relaxing With The.... Debut release by Bristols finest freak merchants. Not as full on as 'At Last', but you can hear em' putting their ideas down. the lyrics ar stil la little iffy, but i can live with that when they make such a wonderful din. NurseWith Wound - Who Can I Turn To Stereo Sat out under the stars with a few tinnies and the cat and marvelled at hi level flocks of geese skudding through the moonlit sky like dowsed embers, and the most 'fiery' meteor I've ever seen, was like the crashing spaceship in the 50's version of The Blob...wonderful. All soundtracked by this beautific, slightly cryptic monster of a record. A little more rhythmic than many of his 'droney' thangs, but i loves it all the same. Have a good week y'all, and watch out for those downpours that we're promised.
