Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill
Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness and Charm

The tent poles of my favourite Hawkwind era. Seeing Calvert fronting them at Cardiff Castle in support of Quo is a favourite memory from my youth. That was pretty much the gig that marked the end of the Pre-Punk era for me. Wasn't long after that we were reading about the 100 Club Punk Festival and joining the dots back to existing favourites like the Feelgoods, "Howlin Wind" and Patti Smith etc.

John Martyn - One World Deluxe Disc 2
Great live tracks and an alternate version of One World

Grace Jones - Hurricane Dub
The dub version of her criminally overlooked studio album. Has the same cold, hard edged quality as Black Uhuru's Dub Factor from way back.

George Faith - To Be A Lover
Is to reggae and the Lee Perry catalogue what Future Days is to Can and Krautrock. Dismissed at the time for being too soft for hard times. Wrong. Faith sounds blissfully all at sea and so it is the perfect soundtrack to romantic discombobulation.

The Dynamics - Miss You from Version Excursions
Corking version of the last really great Stones single with my favourite kind of stop-go disco reggae bass line.

These all sounded great too

Can - Soundtracks
Can - Future Days
Man - Back Into The Future & Complete Roundhouse
Man - Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day
Burning Spear - Man In The Hills

These didn't

John Martyn - The Church With One Bell
John Martyn - On The Cobbles
John Martyn - The Tumbler
John Martyn - London Conversation

I wanted to get this, but was then put off by a really bad review. So, it's a good 'un then?

Well, it's not Brand or Super Ape but I like it even though it has no dirt under its nails. Which is why it reminds me of major label dub albums like the Uhuru one. It's all very crisp. Not sure if that's recommendation or not!

Kaiser Chiefs 'The Future Is Medieval' - it's taken a couple of months for this to get to me, but maybe it'll pall less quickly for me than their first three albums as a result. Lacking the killer choruses that made the Kaisers' name it's true, but there's a new maturity and substance evident here. A goodie;

Belle & Sebastian 'Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant' - possibly the darkest release from B & S. At times I find them a bit too clever - and cold - for their own good, but when they hit home, as in the staggering 'The Model', they leave an indelible mark on my soul;

Aztec Camera 'Walk Out To Winter' - obscenely cheap 2CD anthology that I bought from Oadby Asda two weeks ago and have found near-impossible to prize from my car stereo ever since;

Eels 'With Strings - Live At Town Hall' - E + an audience = enthralling stuff;

Aereogramme 'My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go' - near-perfect swansong from one of Scotland's most missed bands. Nearly every track is a waltz: how cool is that?

Eberhard Weber 'The Following Morning' - my fave Weber LP: drumless, meandering, mesmeric. Creates a wonderful, autumnal ambience all around the house.

I also rediscovered my short-lived soul boy roots this week by digging out my 'Street Sounds' compilations. What memories.

Guido Cantelli provided my classical pleasures: his incomplete Beethoven Fifth (lacking the first movement, alas) is a revelation, and his Brahms Third likewise makes me hear a hackneyed symphony anew. Had he not died tragically young, who knows what he would have gone on to achieve.

Enjoy your week, everyone.

MGMT - Congratulations

V/A - Born Stiff - The Stiff Records Collection
Forgotten just how good that Tracey Ullman cover of Kirsty McColl's "They Dont Know" - of all things - was. Stellar contributions from the Damned, the Pink Fairies, Wreckless Eric, Madness and the Pogues too. Also has a couple of less than stellar ones from Jonah Lewie, but you can always delete them from your media player like I did.

Little Richard - Greatest Hits

Caribou - The Milk of Human Kindness

John Lee Hooker - Don't Look Back

Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie

The Beach Boys - Smile promo
Basically the Purple Chick bootleg with better sound quality and no use of extracts from the 2004 version. Nothing to get excited about for anyone who already has the boot, really.

The Beatles - The White Album (2009 mono version)
