machineryelf wrote: Black Tempest - Secret Astronomies superb 3rd outing from Squid, as equally excellent as the Proxima/Ex Proxima pairing-recommended and due to the oddities of mozilla/the post office it seems to be I'm the only person it has arrived at so far or I'm sure more folk would be raving about it The postman has been and gone but no Black Tempest in his bag so it will be here tomorrow hopefully. I play Ex Proxima a lot. Fantastic album. I certainly will be raving if it is in that class.

A History Of Now - Asian Dub Foundation Does nothing new and lacks the scope and texture of, say, Community Music. But, it's good to hear them again and there's enough to be getting on with. A definite play-it-loud-and-bounce-about record. And, unashamedly Political Apparently this has gone to No 1 in Japan. And, the tour to promote it extensively covers France & Spain. None in the UK. There's your broken Britain for you there. Kiss Each Other Clean - Iron & Wine Aaaaarghhh!!! What's with the fecken vocals? The songs on this are fantastically crafted, and beautifully arranged and produced. But, then, there's the vocals. Not bad. Not off-key. Noty irritatingly affected. Oh, if only. There's a terrible MOR sensibility to the vocals on this (multitracked the bejesus out of them, even autotune at points) that makes me think of Hall & Oates or, at best, ELO. Gah! It's so insipidly...nothing. Shame. The King Is Dead - The Decemberists Kinda the opposite: A band I've never really thought had the edge they needed make surprisingly good record by being a lot more AOR. At best reminiscent of the more countrified bits of early REM. Can't see myself revisiting this much, though. Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under - Amanda Palmer Grab-bag of live tracks, studio recordings and a cover. Surprisingly endearing stuff. Includes the single Map Of Tasmania, which may not be about cartography. Plus, the usual liberal sprinkling of random play stuff. Live I saw The Phantom Band and The Starlets twice a piece. Both of whom were fantastic. And last night I went to see London Sinfonietta perform Steve Reich's Music For 18 Musicians, which was truly magnificent.

You wait till I put the mandolin through my battery of FX ;-) No foll roll do riddle aye for me, sunshine. Ian - I'm a bit worried the CD hasn't arrived. Anyone else not received it yet? Most of those were sent out the same day, so should probably have arrived by now. If it isn't there in a couple of days I'll send replacements.
