Music Caribou - Swim. Mellow dancey with a dollop of indy Afro Celt Sound System - Vol 1 & 3. Upbeat MOR world/dance Black Tempest - Proxima and Ex Proxima. Getting used to the jazz break now squid lol. Loving the ritual/chant feel of, is it the second tune on Ex Proxima? You'll know the bit I mean. Adam Freeland - Fabric Live 16 Linkin Park - Minutes To Midnight. I went for a run and ran a bit too fast at first to this, ouch my ankle! Spoken Word Two episodes where Noel Coward is a detective, between the wars. Mild, entertaining Planning this week to try and update as I go, rather than try and remember for next weekend.

Without reservation. The same label Soundway (based around the corner from me in Brighton) put out what I consider the definitive Nigerian compilation: Nigeria Special, but The World Ends comes very close to matching that one. I wonder how Sublime Frequencies and Soundway are doing it. These compilations contain some of the best music ever made, and we're only just starting to twig onto the fact that it even existed decades too late. This article's worth reading if you're into African music: How African Music Made it Big in Columbia. "The mobile soundsystems of 1970s Colombia embraced the music of Nigeria, Congo and beyond long before anyone else – and all because it reminded them of their donkeys."

Man, it was mean: Gillan 'Toolbox' - quite the man's heaviest album, from the dark days of his temporary Purple dismissal in the early 90's, No wonder Blackmore was persuaded to take him back, albeit under duress; Christine Collister 'Live' - superb live set from 1994 featuring Christine's faultless voice in a variety of well-chosen covers and original songs. This lady is supremely talented and in a juster world would be an absolute superstar (as would her former partner, not that I would want to provoke any trouble); Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel 'The Best Years Of Our Lives' - peak period Harley at his best: the purest link between The Kinks and English punk; Brinsley Schwarz 'The New Favourites Of Brinsley Schwarz' - smiles guaranteed from any Brinsleys record, especially this one; Caravan 'The World Is Yours' - decent early career overview with some curious issues (the excision of the "Come On Back" section from "Oik' being unforgivable) but uniformly great songwriting; Steve Winwood 'Revolutions' - another good one-stop-shop, bought for the inclusion of a terrific new recording of 'Spanish Dancer', my favourite ever Winwood song. The remastering of the older material is particularly impressive here - I've never heard the Traffic material sound so good off of vinyl as here; U-Roy 'Natty Rebel' - a little bit of toast, done heavy heavy dub style, y'know; Dire Straits 'Communique' - go on laugh, but I've always dug the first three Dire Straits LP's, and this still rings gloriously out of my Tannoys after 31 years; The Teardrop Explodes - Peel/Read session stuff from the mostly pointless new deluxe edition of 'Kilimanjaro'; Joy Division 'Closer' - unremitting doom and gloom with Martin Hannett's best ever production job; I've never rated this quite as much as 'Unknown Pleasures' but there's no denying it SOUNDS great, especially on vinyl; Tom Verlaine 'Cover' - short, dated but enjoyable, 1984 solo effort; John Coltrane 'Coltrane Plays The Blues' - peerless, peak era Coltrane at his best; Maynard Ferguson 'Live At Jimmy's' - fine Teo Macero produced live set from the great screechman's early 70's big band years. More Mahler this week, courtesy of the bargain Gary Bertini symphony cycle on EMI, well worth £25 of anyone's dosh. Forget Joy Division - this is how to convey gloom in music. Never got to the Kent Beer Festival after all, alas - duty of care issues prevented it - but ale was supped more locally. Check out the Draught Bass in The Stag's Head next time you're in South Shields, beer-loving friends!

Thanks Sin Agog. Think I'll try and pick up The World Ends and Nigeria Special in the next few weeks. That article looks interesting. Will give it a proper read later today.

I am amazed it wasn't a much much bigger album. Seemed like the perfect combo of Dub, African music and chill out to get the crossover Gotan Project type audience. I saw them at Dingwalls and it was definitely one of my favourite shows of last year.

Seeing Argent today at High Voltage, so this vinyl purchase was a must for a quid) Isn't that LP called "All Together Now"? (Just picked it up last month myself.)
