The last couple've weeks worth of soundwaves are shaped something like this:

And the Native Hipsters - There Goes Concorde Again (comp) Ooh Look...There goes Concorde AGAIN!

Eric Random - Earthbound Ghost Need

Vivian Girls - Share the Joy

Drexciya - The Quest

Fred Lane - From The One That Cut You/Car Radio Jerome

Lost Cherrees - In The Beginning. Probably the most melodic anarchopunk band I've heard, which I guess isn't saying much. If Liliput/Kleenex spoke a human language and had political inclinations.

Black Pus - All Aboard the Magic Pus

Planningtorock - Have It All

Woo - A La Luna

Henry Flynt - Hillbilly Tape Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IehN5vfFfRc)

Jobriath - S/T

Conlon Nancarrow - Complete Studies for Solo Piano

Metabolist - Hansten Klork (Underwater Orks Invoking Magma)

Paul Baribeau - Grand Ledge

Duke Ellington - The Blanton Webster Band

Scorched Earth Policy - Keep Away From The Wires

Crash Course in Science - 2009 S/T comp

Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks - Original Recordings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0h6FBbw8jY (Maybe an odd description but it sounds a bit like Michael Hurley backed by The Pentangle. At least to me)

V/A - Glitterbest (Glam! Velvet Tinmine is slightly better, though)

Carol of Harvest - S/T
Chaosmonger

CDs:

Earthling Society - Stations of the Ghost
One of my favourites of the year so far. Top rock.

Bong - Gilgamesh Lives
Refreshed my desire for a bit of low-end dooom.

Mike Oldfield -Ommadawn
Got it on CD for the first time. Nice. Not sure about the In Dolce Jubilo or Portsmouth inclusions mind.

Paul McCartney - McCartney II
Love this to bits, can't believe I missed it, thanks Tone.

White Hills - H-p1
Rocks. And rocks.

Klaus Schulze - Time Wind
Oh my. Burble wurble. Wooh! Class analogue synthy warbles.

White Hills - Black Valleys
Live guitar drone thing is getting more and more plays here. Really electric.

Faust - BBC sessions
Goodness I love The Lurcher/Kraut Rock etc. Marvellous.

Yes - The Yes Album
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
King Crimson - Discipline
I'm reading Bill Bruford's autobiog. The more he slags off Fripp, the more time I have for old Bob and the less I respect our Bill. Good book though.

Vinyl:

Aqua Nebula Oscillator - Caves Recordings
If Pink Floyd had stayed off their heads.

Alps - Easy Action
Wonderful sleeve, gorgeous synth tones.

Master Musicians of Bukkake - Elogia de la Sombra
I must get the Totem series, coz I think this is splendid.

Gnod/A Middle Sex split
The Gnod track in particular - "Why don't you smile like the other children" is well worth the entrance fee.

Not done this in a while, new(ish) job takes up a lot of time, so not inclined to go on the web much as I'm generally knackered in the evening.

Anyhoo, enjoyed a fair bit of stuff this weekend so far...

Jonas Reinhardt - Music From The Tactile Dome.
Keep coming back to this, really like it's kraut/house grooves. One of my releases of the year so far.

Japan - Quiet Life
Loving this all over again, esp Mick Karn's massively elastic bass lines.
The charts were more interesting when I was a kid, the more old releases I dig out the more I'm convinced. No way would a band like Japan get a sniff these days, different climate musically I realise, but still....

Faust - Something Dirty
Best Faust record in years, wish I'd caught em' playing this live.

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Allegedly there's a 2 disc reissue of this due imminently. The second disc is a bunch of B-Sides and hard to get ephemera, probably got them already, but will no doubt put my hand in my pocket again.

Zak Riles - S/T
Grails multi- instrumentalist debut album from a year or two ago.
Pretty good on the whole, if a little samey by the end. I'm a sucker for those 'Eastern' scale guitars though, and it has a 'proto' version of Grails 'Silk Road', which I absolutely adore, so well worth the £3 I paid.

Prince Rama - Shadow Temple
Krazy improve psych with folk tinges. Great cover to this that kinda sums up what you get (http://paw-tracks.com/princeramapresspage.html). Imagine Popol Vuh 'Letzte Tage - Letzte Nächt' mixed with Agitation Free '2nd' and Book Of A.M and your in the right ball park.

Rough Trade Shops - Psyche Folk 10
Great compilation from Rough Trade, a few duds, but on the whole, mostly killa. Notable Mentions 'Alistair Roberts - You Muses Assist', Hush Arbors - Fast Asleep' and Ulaan Khol - Untitled II (edit) all mind blowingly good.
And the Sam Amidon track 'Way Go Lily' really could be him channeling Nick Drake, beautiful.

Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out Of Season
Didn't like this on it's release back in 2002, thought it a little twee, but my wife had a French film on the other week and the first track on the soundtrack was 'Mysteries'. Gave me goosebumps. Found a copy of the CD in my local Bernado's for a quid...can't go wrong really.

Von Bingen - Von Bingen
A pal sent me a CDr vinyl rip of this a while ago and I've been after a 'proper' vinyl copy for since. Great electronic, psyche guitar noodling and krauty drones here, dunno anything about them, but here's a webpage you can listen to the record if you think it may be your kinda noise

Have a great week y'all!

Record of the week...

CAUSA SUI - Pewt'r Sessions 2 - Another fantastic colab between Danish heavy pyschsters and SBHOTM guitarist Ron Schneiderman - epic freakout wah guitar jamathons the order of the day - controls set for the heart of the sun.

Otherwise...

MOON DUO - Mazes - Just gets better with repeated plays - like a distilled essence of rock 'n roll - no chaff here.

FOLLAKZOID - EP - Enjoyable and admirable - just a bit too Neu! though.

HASH JAR TEMPO - Under Glass - Smokey jams ( bongs not Robinson ) from Roy Montgomery and Bardo Pond.

ONEIDA - Rated O - A bit ambivalent to this - has some fine moments but some of it's just too harshly repetitive for my ears.

2nd hand vinyl...

YES - Close To The Edge - Er, despite some Progophobia on my part i've gotta admit to enjoying large parts of this, mostly the music ( especially the guitars ), as for rearranging my liver to the solid mental grace ( or whatever ), fuck off.

SANTANA - Lotus - 3 x LP's and a lush cover all for a fiver. Some of my favourite live Santana too. Result !

Oldies...

HAWKWIND - Parallel Universe 3CD - Does the world need yet another Hawkwind comp ? When they're as well put together and sequenced as this overview of the UA years is, then, yes. Some cool alternate and unreleased takes of well known toons helps too.

THE OUTSIDERS - Cq - Eye opening 60's Dutch psyche with many a diverse influence on show. Deeply druggy.

Dvd's...

MAN - Rockpalast 1975

KING CRIMSON - French TV 1974

MOTORPSYCHO - The Paradiso, Amsterdam 2002

Have a great week everyone
