Still struggling to find the time to listen to as much music as i'd like, did squeeze these in though. Newish stuff... SRI AUROBINDO - Cave Painting EARTHLING SOCIETY - Stations Of The Ghost CAUSA SUI - Pewt'r Sessions 1 EUROPIUM ALLUMINATE MIX CD Old chestnuts... WIRE - Chairs Missing IGGY POP - Lust For Life JOHN CALE - Fear Surprise of the week ( from the crates in the secret cupboard of prog )... N.E.R.D. - In Search of... Obviously not prog but filed away for reasons of space and, er, lack of cool / yesterdays thing ( in my tiny minds world ) -really enjoyed hearing ( some of ) this again, felt like a proper gangsta mutha cruising* around suburban London in the motor with the windows down and this cranked up. Arrested development still in full effect then. Tracks... ENO - Seven Deadly Finns & Third Uncle RICHARD HELL - Time & Betrayal Takes Two * truth be told, it was a trip to Waitrose. All the best everyone, Mark x

A couple of weeks worth due to hols: Barre Phillips - Mountainscapes (Thanks to Tonestone and IanB for recs on this one. Brilliant stuff!). Julian Priester - Love Love. Another ECM album that works against the stereotype. Two long tracks of swirling electronics, horns and solid grooves. Thurston Moore - Demolished Thoughts. Have really grown to like this a lot. Especially 'Blood Never Lies'. BBC (Nels Cline/Tim Berne/Jim Black) - The Veil. Great live set. Godspeed You! Black Emperor. - Saw them on Friday night - excellent and loud. All the albums have been getting a spin. Others: Television - Some live boots whilst reading the new 33/3 book on Marquee Moon Exploding Star Orchestra - Stars Have Shapes Greg Davis - Eye Bright Sonic Youth - Evol Tartar Lamb - II Polyimage of Known Exits Oren Ambarachi - Grapes for the Estate Oren Ambarachi/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke - Tima Formosa (thanks for the alert Bubblehead!) Santana's 'Devadip' albums - Illuminations (with Alice Coltrane); Oneness and The Swing of Delight. Om - Rationaha David Torn - Best Laid Plans Edward Vesala Sound and Fury - Ode to the Death of Jazz Herbie Hancock - Crossings Anthony Braxtion - Complete Braxton on Black Lion Vols 1&2 Brain Donor - Love Peace and Fuck Black Sheep - Biker fm radio show Kenny Graham and his Satellites - Moondog and Suncat Suites Drive By - The Necks Neil Young - Le Noise Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking Soft Machine 1&2 Have a great week all.

Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (love the subtle dusting of psychelia on this otherwise bookish LP of pristine college folk, particularly on the song 'Patterns', an unsung gem in the Paul Simon songbook) Traffic - Traffic Fuchsia - Fuchsia (still one of the great undiscovered classics of 70s prog folk. I see the official CD which nearly pushed this LP overground a few years back is now out-of-print and going for inflated prices) Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon The Beach Boys - All Summer Long The Beach Boys - Today The Beach Boys - Summer Days (& Summer Nights!) Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 2 (keep forgetting how atypical of Ralf & Florian much of this marvellous early material is. The first album gets almost funky at one point and the second has a few minutes of distorted guitar). The Kinks - Everybody's In Showbiz The Kinks - Preservation Act 1 The Kinks - Preservation Act 2 (after gorging myself on the deluxe reissues of the 60s classics, it's time to re-explore the band's 70s concept album 'no-man's land'. 'Showbiz' is curiously patchy, Ray's songwriting often seeming rather arch and shallow, but 'Sitting In My Hotel' is the keeper, and the live half is surprisingly enjoyable considering The Kinks weren't the most reliable live band. The much-maligned 'Preservation' albums are much better. Some wonderful songs on 'Act 1', but some even better ones on 'Act 2', although they can easily get overlooked amongst the irksome announcements from Christopher Timothy, and the tracks designed solely to move the plot along which tend to sound like Queen doing a school play - not necessarily always a bad thing!) OST - Far From The Madding Crowd (Richard Rodney Bennet's RVW-esque score for John Schlesinger's underrated film version of Hardy's great novel, with folk songs sung by a pre-Fotheringay Trevor Lucas and Isla Cameron. Nice original US gatefold vinyl scored off eBay). Silvery - Railway Architecture (Always find this a treat having seen Silvery play their first gig to a handful of workmates ten years ago and now see my friend James really fulfill his band's obvious potential on this second album. Interesting to read the blog on the Silvery website and discover that he is far from satisfied with it, but the creator of a piece of work is usually the person most conscious of its flaws).
