Fan Club - Jellyfish
Kicks every kind of Brit Pop to the curb. Tunes for days and they rocked in the best possible way. Should have been one of the biggest bands of their era but the lack of a real front man and a slightly dodgy image somewhere bewteen Catweazle, Kula Shaker and Scooby Doo did for them. That and the Seattle thing. The difference between Jellyfish and the likes of Wondermints and other third wave Power Pop is the songs. Most of those bands are all about recreating an era through the attention to detail in the arrangements but most lack serious songwriting ability. This lot had the proverbial full package.

A Grounding In Numbers - VdGG
Similar story really. A lot of modern prog is all about soundscapes and complexity of arrangments and playing style but very little of note happening in the writing department. Hammill love him or hate him was born to write and the band are brilliant. Worth buying just for the drumming.

One World - John Martyn
Live In Regents Park - John Martyn (One World bonus tracks)
This is the record that should have made him a real star without having to change his style and roll his jacket sleevs past his elbows. Coming out in November 77 it was a year too late perhaps. Even six months might have made a difference given that Yes went to number one in the summer. By November the cool mainstream was all about Dury, Stranglers, Pistols, Blondie etc etc. Few people among mainstream music buyers were going to be just discovering some bearded bloke who played sitting down with a band full of old farts. As with Jellyfish, genius was no defence against the vagaries of fashion.

Tron Legacy - Daft Punk
If you wish TDream had slotted in another album bewteen Ricochet and Stratosfear then this is a fair approximation of that. Loved the film - an fx driven action movie where hardly anything happens - and the soundtrack is well up there.

Mono Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
Not a proper album in some ways but my favourite mop top record by a long way. I am not all that interested in the mono / stereo debate especially as I rarely listen to anything from a fixed position between two speakers but this is a stunning album in mono. Just powers out of the speakers.

Say You Will - Fleetwood Mac
Paul Lester thinks this puts Buckingham up there with Eno and Brian Wilson. Not entirely sure about that but a very good record. Tusk 2.

all these got a play ...

Couple of weeks. These are ones I remember:

Kourosh Yaghmaei - Back from the Brink: Pre-Revolution Psychedelic Rock From Iran 1973-1979. Beautifully packaged set from Now-Again Records.

Corrupted - Garten Der Unbewusstheit. Excited to hear another epic release. On a par with El mundo frio.

Albert Ayler - Nuits de la Fondation Maeght 1970. One of the last sets Ayler recorded. The sleeve notes make reference to the common assumption that early Ayler bassist Henry Grimes had passed away. Good to see Henry now on a new lease of life after his 'rediscovery' and recording and touring again.

Massacre - Killing Time. Sounds as if they should be a metal band but this is Fred Frith, Bill Laswell and Fred Maher's NY punk/funk outfit.

Andy Summers & John Etheridge - Invisible Thread. Quite lovely 'ECM style' acoustic guitar duo from a cop and a soft. (Just started Summers bio which is interesting and well written).

Asva - Presences of Absences.

Asva - Futurists Against the Ocean.

The Residents - Not Available.

Richard Pinhas - L'Ethique.

Modern Lovers - s/t.

Gloria Coates - Symphonies 4, 7, 1 and 14.

John Tilbury - Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories (from All Piano).

Joe Henderson/Alice Coltrane - Elements.

Blue Oyster Cult - s/t.

Richard Hell - Destiny Street Revisited.

Kayo Dot - Choirs of an Eye.

John McLaughlin - Johnny McLaughlin, Electric Guitarist.

Andrew Hill - Point of Departure.

Keith Fullerton Whitman - 101105.

Stephan Mathieu - To Describe George Washington Bridge.

Steely Dan - Aja, Pretzel Logic.

Otomo Yoshihide and Taku Sugimoto - Untitled 1-4.

And JC's 6 music interview. Entertaining as always.

Have a great week all.
