Glad you like Proxima - I thought it might be up your street!

Me...

Gnod Drop Out With White Hills
Bloody great, a real classic. great to have a worthy double album. Shame side 3 jumps mind.

Astra - the Weirding
Mellotrontastic. For some reason I needed a bit of overblown prog this week, and this was just the ticket.

Thomas Koner - Nunatak
Absolutely beautiful. Apparently recorded on prepared gongs (some underwater) and hand-made woodwind. True glacial beauty.

In the sun...
Augustus Pablo - Original Rockers
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing at Baxter's

Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
Not normally my cuppa this sort of thing, but this is really very good. Bonkers collage of stuff, including (if my ears serve) camera shutters and ping pong used as beat samples. Some gorgeous bass, synth and harp sounds too.

Demdike Stare - Forest of Evil
Get a copy of this before it goes out of print. Seriously, it is brilliant. Not quite sure how to describe it really, but when the big tom beat comes in on side two it makes me stomp around the room.

Gas - Nah und Fern
Weird ambient string techno. Cheapish 4 CD box. Sounds better on headphones, certainly on my first couple of listens. Takes a while to get into the detail, but is improving with more listens.

Hawkwind - In Search of Space
In celebration of getting an In Search of Space T shirt off ebay. YEAH!

Amon Duul II - Yeti

Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

Genesis - Selling England By The Pound (is there an album with a better first 3 tracks? Stunning originality and invention).

Popol Vuh - Einsjäger Und Siebenjäger

Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

The Monkees - The Birds The Bees & The Monkees (3CD deluxe) (pricey box set, but just had to have it having reviewed this album for Head Heritage. Beautiful packaging, amazing eclecticism in these sprawling sessions. Highlight - the sensational mono mix of 'Auntie's Municipal Court').

Trembling Bells - Abandoned Love

Mike Oldfield - The Consequences Of Indecisions (I'd never heard of this until I found it in a charity shop. Turns out to be a cheeky repackaging of an LP he produced for someone else, although his trademark guitar tone is all over it. A bit too jazz fusion for my tastes - a real anomoly coming between Ommadawn and Incantations).

The Apples In Stereo - Travellers In Space & Time (this works so well with the current heatwave).

Augustus Pablo seems popular this week!

LP’S
BIRTHDAY – The Association
As much as I like 60’s MOR there’s the odd moment here which is a bit Cliff Adams Singers even for me, but the opening track, Come On In, is an absolute cracker!

S/T – David G Cox
I came across Cox via House Of Cards, a 15 minute epic that went from ballad to an altogether rockier affair – and all the time Cox was coming on like some latter-day Tom Waits. Tom also springs to mind on the opening number, whilst Song #7 has a Stray Cat Strut feel to it. There’s a bit of Peter Perrett in the vocals The Ballad Of The Yellow Moon, too.

DISINTEGRATION – The Cure
As mentioned elswhere here, this is one of my favourite Cure albums,

YOUR FUTURE OUR CLUTTER – The Fall
I accidentally put track 9 on 1st and was thinking “Blimey, this is a dowdy track to open an album with” before I realised my mistake. The muscular sounding first three tracks and Funnel Of Love sound particularly impressive on early listens, with Maxico Wax Solvent edging it thus far. Reminds me of how the TX sounded live for some reason!

71 MINUTES / FAUST IS LAST – Faust
Old and new! There’s some great moments on 71M, whilst FIL is a mixed bag on first listen. Feed The Greed is awesome though. And I Don't Buy Your Shit Anymore sounds like the Stones with Julian on vocals whilst Babylon brings to mind their contemporaries Can mixed with Saul Williams.

ULTIMATE COLLECTION – The Kinks
Everybody's Gonna Be Happy has got to be the template for The La’s!

LATEST WRITS, GREATEST HITS – Pretty Things
My fave tracks are the early, basic ones like Come See Me and Rosalyn I guess, even though it was the 70’s version I got into first. I bought the Savage Eye LP when I was about 14-15 as a result of seeing them play a blinder supporting Status Quo at the long since departed Belle Vue, Manchester. I loved that album back then, but the one track from it, Remember The Boy, doesn’t sound anywhere near as great now as it did then.

STERTALER - Michael Rother
Now I like this a lot, but I seem to be in a bit of a minority in our house. “What is there to like about it? It’s not very good, is it” said my wife. “It sounds like some awful 80’s computer game” said my daughter. “Side 1 is better” I heard myself say.

THE WORD: MAY 2010 – V/A
Free cd. I was looking forward to hearing the Dave Formula track, Elvis In Space, expecting some atmospheric, slightly miserable electronic instrumental not some calypso number that’s pitched somewhere between a certain brand of 80’s pop and Santana’s Third Album. I like the Tamikrest track though.

ALSO...

RED MECCA – Cabaret Voltaire
WINGS OF DESIRE – Einstellung
TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN – Eno
KOYO – Junkboy
ROCKERS MEET KING TUBBY IN A FIREHOUSE – Augustus Pablo
IN AND OUT OF CONTROL – The Raveonettes
FROM THE GROUND UP – Shady Bard
HEAVY DEEDS – Sun Araw
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHAG... – Teardrop Explodes
TOTAL T.REX & THE SPACE CADETS – T.Rex
SCOTT 3 & SCOTT 4 – Scott Walker
