What an astonishing record that is - as is its follow-up "Harvest of Dreams". Exactly the kind of artist Unsung was made for. Btw what's that Iranian psych compilation like? I've already got "Cambodian Rocks" but have yet to venture into Middle Eastern psych (unless you count Turkey, which I don't). Got distracted by Ireland throwing away a rugby match. Indeed, both this and Harvest of Dreams are truly extraordinary. Can't believe I haven't mentioned them before but then I don't post that often. Got the Secretly Canadian reissues a few years back and was absolutely stunned - more than surpassed the rumours. The Acid Archives reckons they are the finest self-released albums in all of rock (it disses the Harvest of Dreams reissue on account of a dodgy remix [but how does one afford to get hold of an original?]). The Iranian comp is pretty cool; you can check out some excerpts here: http://www.honestjons.com/shop.php?HybridSearch=raks+raks+raks I have the vinyl version so can't vouch for the additional tracks on the CD, but there's some storming stuff on there, Ojooba Ha being a particular favourite. [edited cos I realised it wasn't Lundborg who voiced those opinions but two of his review board - really need to learn how to read that book]

Can Live 1971-77. Having lived in Colchester for a spell, I have no idea what about that city inspired Can to ascend to such Olympian Heights as they reached on the 38-minute lo-fi mind-blower, "Colchester Finale." If you're a Can-Fan and haven't heard this, do. V.A. Angola Soundtrack - The Unique Sounds of Luanda High Rise - Psychedelic Speed Freaks '84-'85. "Like Death" V.A. - An Anthology of Chinese Experimental Music 1992-2008 Robin Williamson - A Glint at the Kindling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnB8MMMZaW0) Hasil Adkins - Chicken Walk Wire - Red Barked Tree Earth - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light vol 1 The Homosexuals - The Homosexuals Record Die Trip Computer Die - Shorter Circuits Chrysalis - Definition Deficit Des Annees Anterieures - Action et Demonstration Japonaise The Paragons - On The Beach Pixies - Bossanova Quiet Sun - Mainstream Lena Platonos - Sabotage Mark Stewart & The Mafia - As The Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade Philip Cohran & The Artistic Heritage Ensemble - The Spanish Suite

The Fall - Live At The Witch Trials Slint - Spiderland Grateful Dead - Seastones (aud recs) Steely Dan - The Royal Scam Christopher Cross - s/t Video: The ABBA Movie (1977) -- filmed in Australia weirdly enough! And directed by Lasse Halstrom! As usual with "group movies", the meat is the concert footage, and the stuff in between is mostly filler. Highlight is a prog-disco fantasia sequence for "The Eagle" (always did think that was one of their groovier tunes.) And also Agnetha's bountiful bum, about which many references are made (her signature stage move is to turn around and dance facing the drummer . . . ) The End Of The Road (1995) - doc about the last Dead tour and death of Garcia. Focus is on the audience not the band, and the vibe is sad & bittersweet -- not just because of the "end" factor, but because a lot of deadheads are pathetic! Reminds me why I hated this band when they were still around . . . . stay smoooth!

Tame Impala - Innerspeaker Like this a lot, although I'm worried I'm over-playing it and will get bored. Goldmund - The Malady of Elegance Beautiful gentle piano wafts. One for late nights. Only £3 from Boomkat. Helios - Caesura Another Boomkat £3 CD. Gentle wafty beats, a bit Sigur Ros-like. Starcastle - Citadel Oh Yes, oh... Quite fun Yes-a-likes. Enjoyable but not utterly fab. Eno - Before and After Science One of my fave Eno albums. Dug it out for the first time in ages this week. Boy I love that bubbley fretless bass sound all over (what used to be until CDs) side 1. And some of my favourite lyrics ever ever. Kilocycles, kilohertz, the passage of my life is measured out in shirts. Genius. Jazkammer - Chestnut Thornback Tar Haven't listened to this enough to really form an opinion, but first impressions are that it is great. Fab throaty fuzzed guitar drone on the 1st side of the album. Haven't listened to the CD that comes with it yet - I'm looking forward to it. Graham Parker - Squeezing Out Sparks Another gem dug out after too long a wait. The fizz and sparkle of Discovering Japan brings a big grin to my face and makes me want to jump out of my seat, a really classic album-opener.

IanB wrote: Still listening to the Rick Roderick lecture series for the umpteenth time. If you like Bill Hicks and a bit of Marcuse and Derrida et al then you must get these. Especially "Self Under Siege". He's the Southern Rock Colin MacCabe! Pretty easy to find on line last I looked and a good alternative to a radio diet of Nevin and Groves or Mayo and Kermode. http://rickroderick.org/ http://wimpywombat.net/ (scroll down to 19 2 10 for mp3 links) This sounds interesting, Must check out. Thanks.
