The Fall - Dragnet / Bend Sinister Paul Schutze - Site Anubis An aquired taste for most folk, probably as Schutze makes attempts to do a sort of updated version of the 'electric Miles' sound, which you could imagine gets howls of derision from some music quarters, I like it coz it sounds great ;-) Line up: Paul Schütze: keyboards, tapes, sampling Raoul Björkenheim: guitars Julian Priester: trombone Bill Laswell: bass Lol Coxhill: soprano sax Alex Buess: bass clarinet Dirk Wachtelaer: drums Try it, you may just like it... http://bravojuju.blogspot.com/2007/10/paul-schutze-site-anubis-1996.html Jah Bunny - Dubbs International Really great to hear this again after such a long time, I've now got it in digital form of course. A great mellow album from the drummer out of Matumbi. Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant Boyd Rice & Friends - Music, Martinis and Misanthropy Amon Düül - Paradieswärts Düül Great dragging this out again, one of the most relaxing albums you could own. Throbbing Gristle - Thee Psychick Sacrifice / TG Now / The Third Mind Movements David Bowie - Diamond Dogs V/A - Ah Feel Like Ahcid: 24 American Psychedelic Artefacts From The EMI Vaults Have a grand week all ;-D

bubblehead2 wrote: 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS - Sign Of The Three Eyed Men - Exemplary in every respect so hats off to Paul Drummond for doing such a brilliant job. This really is a complete revelation for those of us only familiar with crap mastered versions of their output. Er, gotta agree with Stacey that the gobblin' turkey electric jug is just a bit OTT at times though. Some of the live cuts on here are absolute killers BTW. Oh, took a listen to some early Grateful Dead from the Golden Road box as a comparison, i should admit i'm no Deadhead, but IMO the Elevators were streets, make that, leagues ahead back in 66/67. It is a revelation, isn't it? Previous vinyl-sourced masters always sounded so enervated by comparison. The box set makes it obvious that, in addition to hbeing visionary forebears of both psychedelia and punk, they were also nun-eating rock monster capable of generating serious white- knuckle levels of intensity, espeially live. I think the jug appearing on every song was partly Lelan Rogers' fault - according to "Eye Mind" he wanted them to keep it predominant in their mixes because it was a gimmick that distinguished them from other bands (as if they needed one!). Still, it's quite effective - reminds me of how Brian Eno later used synths in Roxy Music to add an eerie otherworldly texture to the songs (and how Allen Ravenstine used them in Pere Ubu, for that matter).

That really is one Unsung album. I got it on CD (with bonus tracks) last year, after not hearing it for a good 25 years. It's a piece of pure class! ;-)

LP’S REMAIN IN LIGHT – Talking Heads With The Great Curve sounding especially fab... ABATTOIR DOGS – V/A I must admit I had forgotten all about this Quentin Tarrantino homage cassette, free with the now long departed Vox mag. And I’d forgotten just how much I love I Walked All Night by The Embers. A truly fabulous track. SATURN STRIP – Alan Vega Alan Vega has made some great tracks over the tears, but few are better than Saturn Drive, the opening number here. Also... SONGS THE LORD TAUGHT US / OFF THE BONE - The Cramps UNICORN – Tyrannosaurus Rex THE BEST OF...- The Sweet INCHPINCHERS – Wailing Souls DESTINATION BEAUTIFUL – Andy White LIVE AND RADIO STUFF – Julian Cope, Peter Perrett/The One, Ravishing Beauties, Super Furry Animals (Peel Session 2001), Syd Barrett. 45’s BREAKFAST – Associates Truly one of the all-time greats. I made the mistake of trying to sing along. Blimey. And Billy made it sound so easy! ; ) A BAO A QU EP – Virginia Astley Blimey. Not heard this in a long time. English tweeness taken to almost ridiculous lengths, but strangely moving at times. CHE – Sunn O))) /Pansonic You pretty much know what this is gonna sound like. The real surprise on this ep though is Stephen Burroughs version of Goodbye Darling. Whereas Alan Vega’s original was an almost throwaway bop, Burroughs keeps it simple with just voice and acoustic and makes you realise what a dark song it really is.

Unsurprisingly it didn't work particularly well when I saw them play it live at ATP - the songs are much too hushed and intimate to come across in such surroundings, plus the between-song silences and breaks for re-tuning disrupted the flow of the album somewhat - but that doesn't detract from the compelling starkness of the original recordings.

Hail! m/ quite a lot this week! Astra - The Weirding. Immense! Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin. Great melodic death with metal amazing female vocalist. Angela Gossow, diminutive German rock pixie opens her gob and the most incredible death roaring comes out. It's not right but it is great. Even better/weirder live Kraftwerk - Autobahn Kraftwerk - The Man Machine. Supergrass - Diamond Hoo Haa. Picked up for the princely sum of £1 in Fopp. A band I'd long relinquished but I heard some tracks from this awhile ago. It's a properly good rock n' roll record. Pleasantly surprised and good for them! Nevermore - This Godless Endeavour. Brooding and epic metal from the States. Pendulum - Hold Your Colour Pendulum - In Silico. Played in the pod post-Glastonbury following their demolition of the Other Stage Mr Oizo - Lambsanger. Excellent and vaguely bonkers electronica from the puppet wielding French dude that must have had one of the oddest number 1 hits ever on the back of an old Levis campaign. Nice and twisted homage to Un Chien Andalou on the sleeve art too. Flat Eric lives in my pod now. True. Kylie - X. Not as great as the stripped back electro of Baody Language but a groovy selection of electro glam poppery. Weird how Little Boots, La Roux et al are hogging the limelight in an NME cred way when this is pretty much the same thing to my ears. Richie Hawtin - Electronic Adventures. Old Mixmag freebie of superb minimal techno. Vampire Weekend - S/T. Concise and boppy US indie with Afro-beat influences. Boingy. The Longe Range - Madness & Me. Hmmm bit disappointing in parts. One of the Orbital brothers with a 'new band'. Tellingly, the best bits sound like vintage Orbital. Cathedral - Garden of Unearthly Delights. Heavy, raw and trippy in parts with a 25 minute stoner epic track as a finale. Stray - Time Machine. Extensive 2cd comp of 2nd division heroes. Some top tunes here. Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina. At last, got it on CD (£3!!) after owning on ye olde cassette for years. Like it! Ozric Tentacles - The Yum Yum Tree. Very enjoyable newie from da Tentacles Manic Street Preachers - Send Away the Tigers. Another cheapo bargain, bought on the strength of a couple of songs I heard as singles. A really good album, and easily their best and rockingest since "Everthing Must Go" IMO (not heard the new one yet) Manu Dibango - The Anthology. disc one. Afro-beat n jazz sax n vibes dude funks for you! Have a nice week Pop Lickers x
