Malakai : Ugly Side of Love This just pips "Merriweather Post Pavilion" and "Tarot Sport" to become my Album of the Year nomination. And it's on Invada (so don't order it directly from their website unless you want to wait three months!) Various Artists : Love, Peace and Poetry Vol. 9 - Turkish Psychedelia Pass the shishka, and make sure it's loaded. Various Artists : Nihon Nihilist Nice one, Copey! It's interesting that much freeform Japanese rock from the early '60s/'70s sounds barely a day older than the '90s stuff collated on Virgin's "Cosmic Kurushi Monsters" compilation (bar more lo-fi production values of course). Francoise Hardy : The Vogue Years Excellent compilation of '60s material by the Parisienne chanteuse with the sexiest singing voice ever to invade a pair of headphones. Nothing from 1971's excellent "La Question", unfortunately, but at least the sleeve makes it plain what you're getting (unlike some other Hardy compilations which leapfrog disjointedly over her entire career). George Brigman : Jungle Rot In which a sultry eighteen year old guitar genius from Baltimore attempts to provide the missing link between the Misunderstood, the Stooges and the Groundhogs on a $5 recording budget. Not only that, the arrogant bastard actually succeeds. Sheer class. It's unfortunate that he also inadvertantly discovered the blueprint for the Shite Stripes in the process, but hey, would you blame Jesus for the Mormons? Various Artists : Trojan Dub Box Set Vol.2 Perfect for those long, stoned Sunday afternoons when you wish it were still balmy enough to lie in the park rather than in front of a cheap second-hand lightbox. Randy Newman : 12 Songs (...awaits retaliatory diatribe from keith A). Nonetheless, this is Newman at his least ironic and sneery, and his most consistent as a songwriter. It also lacks the elaborate, Hollywood-friendly productioon and arrangements that can bog down some of his lesser albums. Pavement : Wowee Zowee In which some of their most jerky, self-consciously jarring material rubs shoulders with some of their mellowest and most tuneful. The only LP of theirs besides "Slanted and Enchanted" that gets the balance right, IMO. The Damned - The Black Album Neither as aggressive as "Damned Damned Damned" nor as whimsically bucolic as their 80s psych masterpiece "Strawberries", this is nonetheless notable for "Wait for the Blackout", "History of the World Part 1" and "Curtain Call", in which the Damned dive headlong into prog-rock whilst leaving the ghost of that genre's po-faced earnestess behind to stroke its patchouli-sodden goatee in disgust. Regrettably, it caught up with them for the two MCA albums they made after Sensible left, but we neeedn't let that detract from the band's history.

VISITORS - s/t - J-P Massiera space prog madness. V/A - The Continuing Saga Of the Visiting Kitten - Thanks to Texlahoma for the heads-up ( and the rather lovely contribution ), a great little comp that hangs together beautifully. V/A - Every Noise Has A Note - compilation of Trensmat Records 7' singles, includes the likes of White Hills, Bardo Pond and Mugstar, mucho pleasure to be had from this. RICHARD YOUNGS - Beyond The Valley Of Ultrahits - Couldn't get a copy of this limited release but did find a download, blimey, this is rather good too. Prefer it to the two of his i'm familiar with ( Naive Shaman / Airs Of An Ear ) SUNN O))) - Oracle 2CD - Swag from recent live date, good to finally get this in lazy git format. TWINKRANES - Spektrum Theatre Snakes - Sounds like Oneida jamming with Holy Fuck, i like this lots. SPIRITUALIZED - LAGWAFIS - SP50 and SP60 - Fascinating stuff to hear especially after my recent epiphany at the Barbican live date. V/A - A Celestial Mass - Excellent weirdness and cheese from Finders Keepers Happy holidays everyone and for those who are working, may it be quiet and just a little bit boring ! All the best everyone, Mark x

I was listening to Sutra in the car the other day. The track started in Birmingham and finished in stafford! It's amazing how contemporary that album sounds - it's very psychedelic and kraut rocky too. 8)
