Mahler 2 (Bernard Haitink/Concertgebouw), 3 (Georg Solti/Chicago SO), 6 (Gary Bertini/North German RSO), 7 (Kurt Masur/Leipzig Gewandhaus) and 9 (Leonard Bernstein/Berlin PO): I'm on a major Mahler thing at the moment, not sure why: maybe I'm getting the season-change blues. Whatever, I've loved all of these superb recordings, especially the doom-laden Sixth and Ninth: wow; Kiss 'Sonic Boom' - wherein our heroes get back to doing what they do better then anyone else: prime, sexist, dumb-assed rock and roll at its cliched best, and with a real 70's vibe that shows that they've left their big-haired 80's and 90's mediocrity behind them. This is their best record since 'Love Gun' IMHO; Mark Knopfler 'Kill To Get Crimson' - typically laid back collection from Cullercoats' finest with just enough heart and soul to cut through the technical perfection. £3 from a dump bin in Sainsbury's: a bargain; Paul McCartney 'McCartney' and 'Ram' - Macca's first solo outings still sound good after nearly four decades, despite their cosy domestic vibe. The man's never been in such rude vocal form since and there are some class tunes in evidence here, such as 'Maybe I'm Amazed' and 'Back Seat Of My Car'. I went on to play 'Wildlife' as well, but the less said about that the better. Ugh; Tangerine Dream 'Cyclone' - unfairly maligned first foray into vocal music from the Tangs, featuring in 'Bent Cold Sidewalk' a progressive rock epic of the highest calibre. Great to hear Edgar Froese rock out on guitar again as well. Okay, 'Zeit' it ain't, but this satisfies on its own very different terms; The Unthanks 'Here's The Tender Coming' - still welded to my CD tray is this marvellous fresh slice of north east folk rock. I could listen to vocals this good for days on end; Erroll Garner 'Up In Erroll's Room' - one of jazz's most individual pianists at his best with a funky horn section boosting the terminal toe-tapping factor. Wonderful. Chopin Preludes (Tamás Vásáry) - a lovely way to end a hard day. Take care out there Dave

Coupl; of new releases I've been enjoying this week. Firstly, Hope Sandoval's newie "Through the devil darkly" is a polished gem of a record; woosily atmospheric vocals, sparse guitar, really creates a mood. Best thing she's done for years. Also very good is Bonfires on the Heath by The Clientele. I have loved this band for years - and this new record is possibly the most consistent of any of their releases. Wistful jangly pop which benefits from some lovely arrangements of brass & strings. Excellent. Also on my turntable: Gary Numan + Tubeway Army Replicas Redux - good to hear this again and the earlier demo versions of the songs too. Moon Duo Killing Time - a little disappointed by this miniLP, one side is pretty good, the other less so. EmeraldsAllegory of Allergies - side 1 in particular is soooooo good. The Beatles Revolver, Spacemen 3 Perfect Prescription. And another oldie - The Flys- Waikiki Beach Refugees

Andy Williams - "The Impossible Dream" - inspired by the Andy Williams thread elsewhere Bit of a theme: Bauhaus - "Bela Lugosi's Dead" 12" The Sisters of Mercy - First & Last & Always LP The Mission - "Serpent's Kiss" 12" Echo & The Bunnymen - "Pictures on My Wall"/"Read It In Books"; "Rescue"/"Simple Stuff" - classic early singles, putting the new album (out tomorrow) in a pretty poor light I expect Killing Joke - "Turn To Red" The Chameleons - 1981 demos from The Fan & The Bellows Gang of Four - Mall CD, finally got a copy The Fatima Mansions - "Popemobile To Paraguay" - one of their finest, from final album Lost In The Former West Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain CD July Skies - The English Cold CD - inspired by Battle of Britain airmen and The Durutti Column, what's not to like? Kraftwerk - Aerodynamik Mixes CD single Live: The Cult (Wolverhampton, Thursday), went for a comedy night out, the performance of Love in its entirety was actually pretty good, but somewhat spoiled by an interminable encore and Astbury's "wisdom". Awful support band, whose only redeeming feature was the fact they had a theremin The Duke String Quartet (King's Place, London) - John Metcalfe led quartet is great acoustic surroundings, performing pieces by Kevin Volans and John Cage The Durutti Column (King's Place, London) - terrific performance of Paean To Wilson instrumental pieces, plus a brief encore. One of the best Durutti gigs I've been to - haven't listened to the CD yet, but really looking forward to it.

In rememberance of Robert Kirby {and Nick too} :Bryter Layter C.D. And cuz i had it out: Julian Cope's Interpreter L.P. Earlier last week: Mott The Hoople's : Mad Shadows L.P. Ronnie Hawkins: The Hawk L.P., this one features the guitar and dobro work of none other than Daune Allman Ronnie Wood : Now Look L.P. Rory Gallagher : Tattoo L.P. L.P.'s played on a real stereo system with 4 speakers and a decent turntable/tonearm/cartridge is still the only way to hear music as it was meant to be.
