Highlight for me this week has been Leo Wadada Smith and Ed Blackwell's The Blue Mountain's Sun Drummer. A live recording from 1986 that has just surfaced and it is sublime. I didn't think i could ever get that excited about a trumpet/drums recording but this is just....wow!(Smith also plays a bit flute, african thumb piano and sings).
Brainticket - Psychonaut. Love this mash of psych/prog/k*rock with the wonderfully named head honcho Joel Vandroogenbroeck.
Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die but you Will. The Wai doing what they do.
Mahavishnu Orchestra - streamed a few of the live shows on Wolfgang's Vault. Brain melting.
Also a bit of a Luke Haines week, inspired when Lenny Valentino came up on the pod shuffle. So Auteurs, Black Box Recorder, Baader Meinhoff and 21st Century Man. have all been played.
Hawkwind - Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music. First Hawks LP I ever got and like this era.
Other spins:
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath 1972
Julian Cope - Jehovahkill
This Heat - Health and Efficiency
Joe Morris - No Vertigo
Ray Russell - Secret Asylum
Stephan Mathieu - A Static Place and Remain
Siouxsie & Banshees - Join Hands

Happy listening all.
