Waldron, Stapleton, Sigmarsson, Haynes, Faulhaber - The Sleeping Moustache Fans of NWW/Irr. App (ext) will like this dizzying collaboration very much. Ennio Morricone - Crime and Dissonance Rare and varied film soundtrack gems compiled by Mike Patton Jaw-droppingly magnificent in places. David Bowie - Hunky Dory / Diamond Dogs / Low Buzzcocks - Time's Up Solid Eye - Fruits Of Automation Very recommended for anyone into NWW, Residents etc. http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2009/05/solid-eye-fruits-of-automation-cd-1999.html Genesis - Trespass Extremely unhip listening matter for most folk around here, but an album from my early teens which I still really like today, there's just something about those wintery sounding 12-string guitars that always gets to me. The main reason I dug it out, was it featured a man on drums named John Mayhew, I'd read in one of the music mags that he died on March 26th in Glasgow— two days before his birthday — from a heart-related condition. He was 61. R.I.P. Various - Hallucinations: Psychedelic Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults One of my favourite psyche comps in recent years Parking Non-Stop - Species Corridor Relaxing experimental pop from unsung North Walian trio, they also have a great knack of utilising interesting location recordings as part of their cleverly honed tracks. http://www.myspace.com/parkingnonstop Damenbart - Impressionen '71 Work of genius from the H.N.A.S. men that originated as a lost krautrock spoof, but really does stand up in it's own right. Black Dice - Creature Comforts / Load Blown Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth Thomas Leer & Robert Rental - The Bridge

Having been abroad for most of the week - firstly on the Amalfi coast, then in Naples - I haven't had much time to listen intently to music, but here's a selection of what's been churning away on my I-Pod during the holiday: The Horrors - Primary Colours A mixed bag for me. Instrumentally it's pretty top notch - I like the FX-laden MBVesque wall of guitar noise, and the songwriting is strong throughout, but the vocals can sometimes sound irritatingly mannered (a common problem amongst the English '80s alternative bands they seem to revere, like The Cure and the Psychedelic Furs). Needless to say, "Sea Within a Sea" is the high point, but "Mirror's Image", "Who Can Say", "Scarlet Fields" and the title track are good too. If they continue to improve at this rate, their fourth LP will be a masterpiece. Cornelius - Sensuous I'd always regarded this as his most clinical and least inspired LP, but having listened to it on a beach in blazing 90 degree heat it takes on a most appealing soporofic languor that I'd previously mistaken for muso blandness. Which brings me to... David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name Soporific languor doesn't get any better than this (except for the more urgent Crazy Horse-like "Cowboy Movie" and the trite anti-Nixon call-to-arms "What are Their Names".) The fact the every musician residing in or around the San Francisco Bay Area at this time seems to have made at least one guest appearance on it only adds to its Bohemian charm. Some darned beautiful tunes, to boot. Caetano Veloso - Sem Lenco , Sem Documento (The Best Of...) Excellent compilation that runs from the Tropicalia era through to the mid-80s (although it inexplicably omits his best-known song, "London, London" - still, there's always the Pirate Bay). "Shy Moon" in particular is perfect for those late Mediterrenean evenings when you've drunk too much wine, smoked too much dope and been bitten by 1,567 mosquitos in the space of an hour and a half. T.Rex : The Best of... This is actually the best of Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it holds its own as a decent compilation provided you ignore the misleading title (obviously designed to cash in on Marc's newfound teen idol status at the start of the '70s). It's a shame it doesn't include "Do You Remember", though, as it's my favourite of Bolan's pre-"Electric Warrior" compositions. Also mentioned in dispatches: The Beach Boys - Sunflower Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (their last decent album, in my opinion) Arnaldo Baptista - Loki (Brazil's equivalent of "The Madcap Laughs" or "Oar"). Can - Future Days Various Artists - Trojan UK Hits Box Set

Soundtrack to my annual Shetland jaunt: Clive Gregson & Christine Collister 'Mischief' - unusually ascerbic collection of Gregsongs slightly dated in sound but high on quality; The Fall 'Dragnet' - after playing this I chanced upon Marc Riley in Lerwick's excellent Lounge Bar alongside the singer out of Elbow. Surreal, huh? Great record though, despite having the worst production ever; Black Sabbath 'Born Again' - unfairly maligned Gillan platter with some ace songs, especially 'Zero The Hero'; Drude 'Black Sheep' - our man with fire in his belly and a sting in his tail. Beltin' gear; George Harrison 'Let It Roll' - decent best of, though I'd've sacrificed the copout live versions of Beatles songs and the godawful 'Got My Mind Set On You' for better tracks from 'Dark Horse' or 'Living In The Material World', both sadly under represented here; Soft Heap 'Soft Heap' - sadly disappointing set where the whole is well short of the sum of its parts. Remember all four of its late players better elsewhere; Fairport Convention 'Unhalfbricking' - maudlin and magnificent third LP from the classic line up. That's me. Have a great week, all. Dave. X
