Various Artists- Top 300 Space Disco Collection.
-This is addictive stuff! I don't know much about it- supposedly 70s Italian electronica, but possibly more recent, or recently remixed- anyway, its sort of Georgio Moroder Kraftwerk Daft Punk minimalist electro frothy fun.
The Implosion Quintet- The Future Sound of Yesterday.
-one guy in his bedroom, in Norway, natch, making gentle electronica that occasionally sounds like ye olde psychedelic rock entirely reconstructed from samples.
The Associates- Fourth Drawer Down.
-How brilliantly mad were The Associates? And to think this passed for Top 20 pop in the day.
Lene Lovich- Stateless.
-An overlooked LP- the missing link between Patti Smith and Sparks?
Felt- Forever Breathes The Lonely Word.
Denim- Back in Denim.
-Thanks for the prompt, Charlie!
Julian Cope- The Unruly Imagination.
Julian Cope- Black Sheep.
-So I put on 'unruly' and think, yeah, this is better than Black Sheep. Then I put on 'sheep' and think, no, this is by far the better LP- I can't choose! Julian, you are spoiling us!
Wolfmangler- Dwelling in a Dead Raven for the Glory of Crucified Wolves.
-Dipping my toe into the doom diaspora, I'm loving this! It's like Noggin The Nog meets The Exorcist! Any recommendations on other similar stuff I should explore?
