LP’S
NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS – Lyre of Orpheus / Abattoir Blues (Double albums are always a lot to take in initially, but this is continuing to impress me more and more. This weeks fave is the title track of LOR. Oh mama!!)
JULIAN COPE – Rite2 (esp D Composer)
HARMONIA – Muzik Von…
AUGUSTUS PABLO – In Fine Style
SMOG – Supper (Lots of goodies on this, especially Ambition)
T.REX – T.Rex (JT shamed me into playing some Bolan a few days back! This is a classic album for me, with so many great songs here - Bolan was obviously going through a genuinely inspired period. Really enjoying The Wizard and it’s ‘new’ version at the mo)
V/A – Mojo: Beyond Punk (I may have mentioned this before, but I’d honestly forgotten how utterly wonderful Siouxsie’s Mirage is. Superb track, and there’s lots more here, too. Some I knew – Kidney Bingos, The Classical – and loved!, and some of which I didn’t. e.g. Silent Command, which is)
Single…
NEW ORDER – Krafty (This is a grower. It sounded fairly unremarkable at first, but old habits die hard so I bought the bugger. Love the intro – that early 80’s like-beat, Hooky’s basslines. Great. Super. As they’d say in Reggie Perrin)
