PLATOON – Magic Lantern
A big thank you to the person who sent me this. Only played it once so far but it really impressed me. I feel sure I’m gonna enjoy this one a lot.

THE GLARE – McAlmont & Nyman
The opening track where DM sings the same repeated phrase over a fairly typical bit of MN arranging, sounds bizarrely like latter-day Sparks. Quite enjoyable, although the lengthy Nyman instrumental at the end sounded unusually drab.

IT’S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL – Rolling Stones
The title track that is the best T.Rex single that Marc Bolan never wrote. Of course, he repaid the compliment a few years later with a Stones riff on Laser Love. Ian B extolled the virtues of the basslines on Fingerprint File the other week – it sure is a great track.BTW is that Wyman or Taylor who is also credited with bass? And whilst I’m not really one for 70’s guitar solos these days I love the fretwork on Time Waits For No-one.

EMPIRES & DANCE – Simple Minds
A reminder of the time when Simple Minds sounded like the future, well except on Constantinople when they still sounded like Magazine. Still sounds really good!

MIDNIGHT MASSIERA – V/A
Bonkers stuff! Love the Space Woman track!

HOUSE OF BINARY – Wisdom Of Harry
Quite an interesting this one from the former Weather Prophet, Pete Astor.
