Arcadian Black Metal-Echtra,Fauna,Fearthainne-its from Arcadia, Its Metal and it's Black, can't argue with that
Geordie Doom Drone-Bong,Basillica,Byrthen and Masterslave-Its North Eastern, It Drones and it's doom laden, full marks all round
BBC Radiophonic Workshop-Its from the BBC etc, even more amazing than it sounds if you compare it to the music of the time
Springsteen-Philadelphia 2005-one of the acoustic shows with the Suicide tune at the end, absolutely fantastic
Pauline Oliveros-no idea who Pauline is but she makes a fine ambient racket
Albert Ayler-listened to this whilst exploring the lovely french city of Lille late at night, on a warm summers night it made an ideal soundtrack, followed by Miles Davis-Dark Magus-again suited to a warm continental night, not a regular jazz listener but in the right place it takes some beating
Evita - the original with Julie Covington-a fave of my dads, not really my cup of tea, but it has some nice tunes and made me feel nostalgic and somewhat sad
Justin Warfield-Field Trip to Planet 9-
Aphex Twin-Ambient Works
The Who-Quadrophenia
Betty Boo-Doin' The Doo-maxi single nice thing about the i-pod is that on shuffle you are never more than a song away from Betty Boo, or so it seemed last week
Boney M - Nightflight to Venus-again this seemed to pop up regularly, about as deep as a shallow thing but still amusing, some wonderful stuff here if you can stand the whiff of cheese
The Heads-Under A Stress of a Headlong Dive-can't really see what the fuss about the Heads is, not something that grabs me much, not dislikeable but nowt special either imho
Zak Riles-S/T this is a bit dull too, only given it one listen so maybe I should try again but I'm not sure I can be bothered, if I hadn't been loving Crippled Black Phoenix so much I might not have been so dissapointed
Black Bone Angel - Verdun this is more like it, a dronemonster, this is up there with Sunno))),Crippled Black Phoenix, Spaceship & Aethenor as my record of the year, stunningly good, its a concept album but instead of being about mystic ice skating Knights ,it's about trench warfare, dig a hole in your back garden, fill it full of mud and barbed wire, line it with firecrackers and stick this on, it won't be fun but your soul will feel cleansed. Or you could just listen to it in the comfort of your favourite chair and marvel that music in the 21st century is as good as it's ever been
some other stuff inc The Honeythief by someone I can't remember, which is excellent, You Got The Love in too many mixes too mention, all of which wilt in the face of the original, also the original Frankie Knuckles track which You Got The Love came from, too much music, too little time too listen to it all but I really must check out the 80s again
