Mention of Ochre Records here made me dig this out. Features several ex-members of Spiritualized including the fabulous Mr Michael Mooney, now in the current line-up of the Wild Swans. Good album!
Listened to that this evening after work, coincidentally. Good album!

Dr. Dre - The Chronic
(was always very selective with regard to rap music, but this cd is beyond criticism, especially as a soundtrack for driving around in LA. I re-bought it the other day for 4 bucks at PM Sounds, which is a trippy store in downtown Torrance, mainly frequented by ultra-hip 50-year old black dudes shopping for Miles Davis vinyl re-issues and impossibly rare $2000 tape decks by Nakamichi. I was actually hesitant to hand it to the ultra-hip 50 year-old black dude who runs the place to ring up, but he just smiled beatifically.)
Oh I do love the programming, but find the grind of the subject matter too much at times.
Love alot of Timbaland stuff, but same at times. Do like a bit of Missy Elliot and even that Nelly Furtado 'Say it Right' just sounds great!
He remakes Nina Simone's 'Sinnerman' brilliantly, adding those pristine beats and cheekily smudging her voice so as to sound like she's singing 'Timbaland'.
And we got a Nakamichi tape deck here, which does get exercised from time to time.
Dunno if it's 'ultra rare', but it gives out an awesome aural warmth.

This week I have been listening to music from Bagpuss.
Oh joy!
It featured such classics as
The bony king of nowhere
Uncle Feedle
The Fairy Ship
And the famous Mouse Round
"We will wash it, we will scrub it, we will make it nice and clean...."
You know the one.
The music is mainly Trad Arr. stuff, with the lyrics adapted to fit the storyline. Ably played on a variety of acoustic instruments, including mandolins, guitars, harps, and the marvellous mechanical mouse organ!
Beautiful whimsical stuff that brought back many good memories.

Oliver Postgate only worked with the finest musical collaborators: genuine folk duo John Faulkner & Sandra Kerr on Bagpuss, and the brilliant Vernon Elliott on nearly everything else. Trunk Records certainly know what they are doing releasing LPs of the latter's evocative scores.

Yum. These are the two I keep going back to (and Stupid Dream). I have found that there is a bit of a law of diminishing returns with their more recent albums. They suffer from a bad case of 80s/ 90s Floyd, hunt-the-songitis!

Totally agree Ian.
Fear of A Blank Planet and The Incident certainly have'nt had the returnability factor for me.
I do return to In Absentia fairly often.
Their strongest recent release, even though that was 2002.
On The Sunday Of Life and Up The Downstair still get plenty of spins, but The Sky Moves Sideways is THE essential P.T studio release for me.

Yes, Opeth's Damnation and In Absentia are the last two really good PT related releases I think. The Nil Recurring ep was quite good.
