Lost Idol- Brave the Elements. Excellent new album of what would probably once have been called trip-hop, by the bloke who works in my local record shop. Moody psychedelia with beats and samples.

Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures- S/T. Excellent new album by the bloke from Herman Dune. Folk pop, I guess.

Charlie Alex March- Home/Hidden. Pleasant enough electronica tinged soft psych. People from Stereolab and the High Llamas appear.

Martin Rev- Stigmata. Straightforward high church classical compositions all played singlehandedly (probably literally) by Mr Rev on the synth. I like it.

An Taobh Tuathail Vol 3. Still enjoying this remarkably consistent comp, especially on winter evenings.

Memory Tapes- Seek Magic. This loses its way at points and tends to drift into trendy clothes shop background music, but when it's good it's very good.

Roger McGuinn- S/T. Roger's first solo album has some real gems on it, especially when Crosby or the other Byrds lend a hand, but just as I'm thinking this should be reappraised as a classic alongside Crosby's 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' and Gene Clark's 'No Other,' it all falls apart on side two. Obligatory early 70s white reggae pastiche, 'M'Linda' is the undoubted low point.

Also:

Genesis- Nursery Cryme.
Van Morrison- Veedon Fleece.
Public Image Limited- Second Edition.
Pulp- Different Class.
