Sa-Ra Creative Partners - Nuclear Evolution
Hadn't heard of this until last week. Eye opening and totally fucked up production which is kind of Matmos meet Bootsy via A Tribe Called Quest. Which leads me back to ....

The Herbaliser - Same As It Never Was
What a great band. One of our best and least celebrated. A real west London sounding record but don't let that put you off.

Dub Colossus - A Town Called Addis
Beardy baldy hipster world music may not be your cuppa but this lot were absolutely storming at Dingwalls in the week (great audience too) and the album is a really nice summer soundtrack if a bit bass lite to be a dub classic.

Eno - Apollo Atmospheres
Buzz Aldrin at the RFH was a bit of a let-down (though how much is too much to pay to share a room with a Christopher Columbus or Marco Polo?) but the BBC shows have been excellent. Not least the showing of "For All Mankind". The music is mixed a little quiet on the DVD so the record is well worth buying as well. One of Eno's most enduring ambient releases.

Talking Heads - Fear of Music & Osibisa - Woyaya
Two different takes on African infused rock and roll. Osibisa could have been as big as Santana. This is their best record and "Fear of Music" still sounds fresh and hungry. A band on the cusp of the big time and knowing it.

Fred Neil - Fred Neil
John Martyn - Solid Air (2 disc expansion)
Heartworn Highways OST
No week is complete without something to tug at the heartstrings. Interesting to hear "Solid Air" as a work in progress.
