SATAN’S CIRCUS – Death In Vegas Satan's Circus is such a fab album. I've always liked it but it's taken a while to realise just how much! I think it’s now one of my fave LP’S of the past 10 years. TRAVELIN’ SOULS (LIVE! AT THE LEGENDARY 100 CLUB) – The Blow Monkeys “It’s been a long tour”, says Dr Robert mid-song at one point on this come-back tour recording. It sounds like, too. His voice is clearly on the way out - it would probably have been better to have recorded one of the earlier dates! It works better watching it on the accompanying DVD than just listening to it I feel. I also played their old Forbidden Fruit 12” single which kinda bridged their more left field debut and their later white boy soul pop rather beautifully. With Mickey Finn on bongos to boot! Great single! BAND OF JOY – Robert Plant I bought this mainly cos I was curious to hear his take on two Low songs. Some of the album sounds a bit trite but the Low covers are great. Impressed. ALSO... KEYS TO THE WORLD – Richard Ashcroft EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS WILL HAPPEN TODAY – David Byrne & Brian Eno LET LOVE IN / NOCTURAMA – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds BUTTERFLY HOUSE – The Coral BACKYARD – Dirk Da Davo GO BO DIDDLEY – Bo Diddley THE ONLY FUN IN TOWN – Josef K BLIND BABY HAS ITS MOTHERS EYES – Les Rallizes Denudes HELIGOLAND – Massive Attack THE DEVIL YOU & ME – The Notwist LOVE ETC – Pet Shop Boys PRELIMINAIRES – Iggy Pop RADIANT AWAKENING – Ranga NEW YORK – Lou Reed FORTH – The Verve WEST – Lucinda Williams SEND - Wire VOL 2 – Wooden Shjips

John Martyn - Small Hours (from One World and Live In Regents Park) I can listen to these two versions all day and night. A "ballad" performance that in terms of invention and sensitivity is up there with any jazz soloist you care to mention. Not to mention the astonishing natural reverb produced by recording out doors. Now That's What I Call Ambient! Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water Gentle Giant - Free Hand John Martyn - Grace & Danger John Martyn - Live At Leeds (unexpanded) Nick Drake - Pink Moon Richard and Linda Thompson - Hokey Pokey Celibidache MPO - Brahms German Requiem Manuel Göttsching - E2 to E4 Can - Future Days Bjork- Medulla Peter Gabriel - s/t #3 Von K & BPO - Götterdämmerung

You're kind to say so and you too are as cool as the other side of the pillow! From what I heard at various places I'll dig it enough to add it to the collection. I will of course report my findings once they're formulated. Thanks again for the "head's up" on them!

David Sylvian & Holger Czukay - Plight & Premonition, Flux & Mutability These are both crackers. I've loved them for years, but hadn't heard them for ages prior to last week. Now I can't get enough. David Sylvian - Alchemy/An Index of Possibilities Another great (and pretty unsung) album. Blue Oyster Cult -S/T Klaus Schulze - Cyborg High Wolf - Shangri L.A. Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal & Rifts Mark Mcguire - Tidings/Amethyst Waves Popul Vuh - In the Gardens of Pharao/Aguirre Titan - A Raining Sun Of Light & Love For You & You & You Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting, Evening Star Serpentina Satelite - Mecanica Celeste Bob Marley - Natty Dread Hawkwind - S/T C.C.C.C - Early Years box Tangerine Dream - Atem Status Quo - Dog of Two Head Ming - I'm touched that you're still enjoying Ex Proxima. I've started recording the next CD now if you're interested. It has been harder than I thought finding the right impetus, but I'm getting there now.

The Just Joans - Your Pain Is A Joke Next To Mines Not a set of McLusky covers. Unfortunately. Just another fantastic WeePop ep from Motherwell's finest. Lanarkshire's answer to the Magnetic Fields. If the line in Wee Helen Got Married about another piece of your childhood being dead doesn't hit you in the heart, you aint got one. Michael Gira - I Am Singing To You From My Room Trying to get my head round Gira & Swans in time for the gig in a fortnight. It's not really happening. Really like Angels of Light. But every time I listen to Swans I jsut get reminded why i never really paid any attention at the time. So, thought I'd try some solo Gira. Erm, it's the bloke from Swans with an acoustic guitar. I feel like an iterloper here. Kinda like the Mark Eitzel gig I went to where the wankier he was the more folk seemed to applaud him as a genius (hmmmm...who does that sound like...). They better be bloody loud. Momus - Hypnoprism I kinda buy Momus records they way I buy The Fall's; becasue I HAVE to. You can never really tell what are the one's that will be any good, or - better - work their way into your head and stay with you. This could be some of the best songs he's writ in a while. but, they're so underdone in a sort of bontempi music hall stylee (not as good as it sounds - the underdone bit is the relevent term here) that they almost don't exist. It's ephemeral, not ethereal. Someone got some autotune software for christmas and wants to show ir off, too. Of course, several listens in it's beginning to take root. But, will it get the others it needs to fully do so... Goddamn you, sir. Gordon Gano & The Ryans - Under The Sun Had this since New Year. I'd given it a few spins and flagged it up as interesting but not essential. It was a chance happening upon the title track on random play that made me go back and check it all out. It just clicked this time. No, it's not a Violent Femmes album (c'mon guys; kiss and make up - the world needs you). But, very little is. The mor/college rock (that's not a contadiction, is it) feel always put me off a bit. But, on revisiting, there's some pretty damn fine stuff (particularly that title track) on here. In fact, nothing duff. Here As A Guest strikes me as as close to a Lenny Cohen song Gano will ever get. Certainly well worth a look if you are interested in anything he's done beyond Blister In The Sun. The Phantom Band - The Wants Maybe a little less intense than Checkmate Savage. A little. Loving this. Very pleased they've managed the difficult second album with such seeming ease. Everybody Knows It's True manages to be irritating and can't-get-enough at the same time. Like a good Frog Chorus. It's also got plenty moments that'll vindicate me to all those that looked at me as if I was an idot for calling them 'folky'. Munly & The Lupercalians - Petr & The Wulf "The real story of..." apparently. Everyone's favourite cadaver-faced Denverite with possibly his most accessible 'solo' album yet. Still his stuff seems very samey to me. He's one of them that I'm sure someone could put together a ten track compilation and it would be all you ever need. Until someone does, these eight are certainly a lot more toe-tappy than some of his previous stuff and damn fine. Just, not really anything new. IMO. Who knows where I'll be after a few more listens.
