THE BODY LOVERS - The Body Lovers/The Body Haters
Excellent 'instrumental' material from Michael Gira and chums.
There were plans for another album or two under this project name, but maybe those shelved ideas will leak into the newly reformed Swans.
FACTUMS - Alien Native/The Sistrum
Imagine Gibby Haynes stepping into a time-machine, going back to 1978 whilst decreasing in age himself, then getting into an all-night recording session with Cabaret Voltaire and The Residents. Utterly bonkers and enchanting at the same time.
EMERALDS - Allegory Of Allergies
Absolutely lush modern kosmische musik from Ohio- very recommended.
SONIC YOUTH - Silver Session (for Jason Knuth)
I really like it when SY get into full-on experimental mode.
A feedback and drum machine odyssey!
FIT & LIMO - The Serpent Unrolled
Pleasant and warm 'psyche-folk' from late 90s Germany.
Great blends of dulcimers, sitars and acoustic guitars etc.
ISLAJA - Palaa Aurinkoon
Together with all the other Kuupuu related material, this really is both wonderous, scary and strangely addictive.
There certainly are some odd recordings coming out of Finland.
Repeated listens lead you to some strange places indeed.
DAVID BOWIE - The Deram Anthology
A great collection of songs and some demo/alternate versions.
I'm wondering how the new remastered collection will sound.
BRIAN ENO - Nerve Net
Dragged this out after the Eno/Arena thread went up here.
I haven't heard this for a good fifteen years, really enjoyed hearing it again.
