NATE YOUNG - Regression Wolf Eyes founder releases deep doomy analogue synth soaked gems. Bringing to mind some early 70s horror soundtracks in places and also the work of the likes of Briscoe et al at the Radiophonic w/shop, but also weaved throughout is that special magic that people like Young seem to have flowing out of them when they make a sound recording. W/E and all the surrounding people and other projects connected to them, as well as the work from folk like ex-member Aaron Dilloway etc., really do create some of the best underground experimental music out there today I reckon. GHOST - In Stormy Nights Slabs of looped noise, a flurry of psyche-folk and prog here and there, lush passages of spaced out bliss.....and not forgetting some stomping celtic marching music with wild wailing megaphone vocals over the top- tidy! THROBBNG GRISTLE - Live Volumes 1-4 Good to haul these 4cds out again, especially after a good few years of trawling through the TG24 box- Brian 'Lustmord' Williams certainly gave these recordings a good sheen in the mix and the running order of the varied live recordings flow very well indeed. DAVID BOWIE - s/t : Deluxe Edition This 2cd pack has the mono/stereo debut and unreleased stereo mixes of the early singles incl. the rare "London Bye Ta-Ta" plus 5 tracks from a Peel 'Top Gear' show from 1967. If you love his early period and you haven't got this yet, then you need it! THE DEVIANTS - Ptoof! One of my older siblings faves from their youth- a real corker of a debut album. BODY LOVERS - Body Lovers/Body Haters Michael Gira and co. making some great instrumental works CAROLINER RAINBOW (HERNIA MILK QUEEN) - Rear End Hernia Puppet Show Absolute bonkers stuff- pure genius at times. Individual tracks that I returned to more than once these last few weeks... Crystal Stilts - Love Is A Wave Fuck Buttons - Rough Steez The Nice - America Devendra Banhart - First Song For B Supersister - No Tree Will Grow (On Too High A Mountain) The Glass Family - House Of Glass Tintern Abbey - Vacuum Cleaner Bill Fay - Some Good Advice That's all folks! Take care out there.

More old vinyl thrills this week, viz: Steve York's Camelo Pardalis 'Manor Live' - wherein some of the great singers and session musicians of the early Seventies got together in Richard Branson's country house studio for some real good time rock and roll. Sadly, the cast list reads a bit like 'Dad's Army' these days (Mike Patto, Boz Burrell, Ian Wallace, Graham Bond, Ollie Halsall, all sadly with us no more) but this totally forgotten shambolic jam - part of Virgin's first ever release with 'Tubular Bells', 'Marjory Razorblade', 'The Faust Tapes' and 'Flying Teapot', by the way - contains fitting reminders of the talents of all concerned, as well as evidence of Elkie Brooks being a damn fine blues singer before her decent into MOR blandness; Talking Heads '77' - for me, the Heads never got better than the unbroken run of quirky, great songs on their debut album, caught before they got too clever for their own good; Tim Buckley 'Starsailor' - incredible to think that Buckley released THREE great albums in 1970, of which this was the last. Oft cited as his most impenetrable album, but I find the preceding 'Lorca' a much tougher nut to crack. And who couldn't dig 'Song To The Siren'? New Order 'Movement' - played this for the first time in at least twenty years this week, and it's a much better album than I remembered it to be, with a surprisingly open sounding production by the overrated Martin Hannett. Mind you, the major caveat for me remains the godawful vocals that afflicted this and all subsequent New Order records; The Monkees 'Pool It!' - a couple of over-sentimental Jones-sung clunkers aside, this is a decent platter of well-crafted 80's pop, albeit afflicted with the glossy production values and cheesy keyboards that beset so many LP's of the mid to late 80's; Hatfield and the North 'The Rotters' Club' - which I played this week in my original 35 year old vinyl pressing, and loved anew - in fact, it sounds even better than the excellent CD remaster Esoteric put out last year, an annoying scratch on 'It Didn't Matter Anyway' notwithstanding. There's some subtle stereo percussive effects on 'The Yes/No Interlude' that I've never heard until now; Van Morrison 'Astral Weeks' - still thrilling to my newly-acquired 180g vinyl edition of this wonderful record; Neil Young 'Harvest' - also sounding crisp and gleaming in its latest vinyl guise. And what a brilliant album too. On CD, I've been enjoying Gillan's recent 'Triple Trouble' collection of live performances from the early 80's featuring both the Torme and Gers lineups in their hard rockin' pomp. The man himself isn't always on pristine vocal form, but the vim and verve of the times comes up fresh and new, the godawful 'Mutually Assured Destruction' (here featured THREE times!) excepted. I can also wholehertedly recommend Witold Rowicki's superb LSO Dvorak symphony cycle, just reissued by Decca, for anyone interested in the symphonic output of the greatest Czech composer. I've never heard more convincing readings of the sprawling early works than here. And it's dirt cheap too: I picked up the 6 CD box for only £21 in HMV, so chances are it's even cheaper elsewhere. Happy listening, all. Dave

Never thought I'd see The Monkees 'Pool It' in a S.O.O.L. list. As a Monkees fan I feel this album went completely against all they fought for in the 60s, with little of the creative input from the band themselves which made most of their original LPs so fascinating. Terrible cover, terrible title, but redeemed by a surprising Wreckless Eric cover version and an okay Peter Tork composition. The 90s reunion LP also isn't great, but is preferable because it really does see the band 'Pooling It' (i.e. their resources) and doing everything themselves. It was also a rare treat to catch the complete foursome live at Wembley around that time. I doubt that will happen again.

'Rough Steez' is also my favourite track off the Fuck Buttons LP. Andrew Hung from the band is an ex-workmate of mine and he must have got bored of us saying 'You'll never get anywhere with a name like that'. How wrong we were.
