White Hills - Heads on Fire
The vinyl version arrived last Friday and it has been stuck to my turntable ever since. ROCK!

Nadja - Radiance of Shadows
Brooding and brilliant.

Madness - The Liberty of Norton Folgate
Got this for Will Squidling, who is a big fan of de nutty chaps. I'm glad I did because I think it is fab. It has been making me quite emotional hearing them playing such decent quality new stuff again after all these years.

AC/DC - Bonfire
Boxset from library. Love the Atlantic Studios live set - raw and rockin'! Don't know why they've randomly included Back in Black with the set though...

The Heads - Tilburg
JC - Unruly Imagination
Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions

THE AFFECTIONATE PUNCH – Associates

PEEL SESSION – Bourgie Bourgie

LOVE IS THE WAVE 7” – Crystal Stilts
Really good recent single. Very JAMC!

S/T – The Grails
Really good on initial plays. Good opening track, Natural Man reminds me of some old soundtrack number that I can’t quite name at the moment, and Silk Rd is especially great. The only number I’m not that keen at the moment is Acid Rain which sounds uncomfortably like some Pink Floyd yawnfest to these ears, but otherwise...yeah!

PRIMARY COLOURS – The Horrors

SOMETHING CAME UP – Mekon
Includes guests like Alan Vega, Marc Almond, Roxanne Shante, etc.

TOMORROW TODAY – Seeland
Definitely one of my fave albums this year.

JUMP START SHUT OUT 7” - Stereolab

THE EARTH TAVERN 7/2/78 – Television
Rough and ready recording, but great performances. Thanks, Mr!

KNOWLE WEST BOY – Tricky
I've been playing this loads of late. Past Mistake is fab. Take away the big 80’s drums and you are left with an almost Joy Division-like melancholia. It’s like an The Eternal for the noughties.

VARIOUS A&B-SIDES – T.Rex
Great to hear the likes of Thunderwing and Jitterbug Love again on my ipod. Solid Gold Easy Action now sounds almost like an early punk single. I must have been in the mood for Bolan because even Truck On (Tyke) – one of my least fave T.Rex 45’s – sounded truly great!

The Rubinoos- S/T. Classic power pop!

Astra- The Weirding. Still a bit too much muso pomp for me, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Ian Hunter- Overnight Angels. Woah! Loving this! Much maligned for it's 'everything louder than everything else' production, but this is an OTT late glam masterpiece, ridiculous and wonderful in equal measures.

Mott the Hoople- The Hoople. They were kind of falling apart by this time, weren't they? Still a good album, but Mick Ralph is missed.

V/A- Drive In, Turn On, Freak Out. Another ace comp on Finders Keepers.

Andy Nice- The Secrets of Me. Lovely cello instrumentals, then a crappy vocal number at the end.

The Faint- The Fascination. They've passed their peak, but this is still better than most of the trendy electro pop kicking around these days.

The Present- The Way We Are. Excellent second LP from Animal Collective collaborator Rusty Santos, especially the 32 minute title track. Steve Reich and Popul Vuh spring to mind.

Oskar- LP2. A mixed bag of experimental studio noodlings.

Balaam and the Angel- Sun Family, Live Free or Die. Do we like them best as moody goths or 80s hard rockers? Me and the girlfriend can't decide, so we end up listening to-

The Cult- Love. They're playing it live at the Albert Hall in October, apparently...

I've been listening to this wicked compilation called Absolution which was one of the first cd's i ever bought, and in many cases was the first introduction to all these bands. Particularly appealing to those that like alternative/gothy rock. Here is the track listing (i don't think it is available anymore)

The Cure - Never Enough
The Mission - Deliverance
Killing Joke - Love like Blood
The Wonder Stuff - Don't let me down gently
Echo & the Bunnymen - The Cutter
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Spellbound
Gene Loves Jezabel - Heartache
Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Some Candy Talking
All About Eve - Martha's Harbour
The Stranglers - European Female
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
The Psychedelic Furs - Love my way
The Creatures - Miss the Girl
The Damned - Eloise
The Ramones - Baby I love you
Fields of the Nephilim - Moonchild
New Model Army - No rest


I would've thought that irritatingly jaunty Wonder Stuff track would really have shattered the otherwise epically gothic and gloomy mood...

Birchville Cat Motel/Black Boned angel - top class throbbing drones

lots of Bowie inc Station To Station,Pin Ups, Heroes & Ziggy Stardust

Sabbath

Supertramp

Spacemen 3 & Spectrum

Suicide

Stone Roses-really enjoyed both Cds , havn't listened to them in ages

Cosmic Jokers/Les Rallizes-still unimpressed

Tangerine - Zeit timeless classic

Scientist vs the Curse of the Vampire & Trojan Bub box

Delphic Vapours-Seb Hunters new band, not sure about the name [OK i'm being nice, i think it's a arse band name] but the music is great, actually it's more than grat it's fantastic
listen for yourself

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZULO1I32

improv guitar type thing

also his new book is rather good, laughed out loud 3 times, though admittedly one was the thought of Delphic Vapours being used as a form of entertainment for the Botley ladies

plus a shitload of Bong/Basillica/Masterslave etc Newcastle doom/drone mightiness in excelsis

probably more but I can't remember off the top of my head

µ-ziq used to be in a band with on old workmate of mine in the v. early 90s, Blue Innocence they were called. They were okay, sort of Jesus Jones-like as I recall....

I was like that for ages with Les Rallizes - thought I'd completely wasted my money on the CD. Then it suddenly went "BING" and I started loving them to bits. Can't quite put my finger on why though, so that isn't very helpful...
