The last two weeks... Peter Perrett- Woke Up Sticky T-Rex- S/T Ultra Vivid Scene- Joy 1967-90 In The Nursery- Twins Jean Claude Vannier- Roses Rouge Sang Jean Claude Vannier- Electro Rapide Low- C'mon Puro Instinct- Headbangers on Ecstasy (new California sunshine post-punk shoegaze girl pop with Ariel Pink connections. Love it) Pink Floyd- Total Eclipse disc two (meh). Flash Fiktion- S/T Birdengine- The Crooked Mile The Kaiser Chiefs- Employment (yes. Great pop. Wanna make something of it?) The Sisters of Mercy- Rough Diamonds (early 80s live boot). The Sisters of Mercy- Feel No Pain (The SSV Project) - Eldritch's unreleased "just drop me already!" spoiler album to Warners from 1998. No drums, spitting synths, whispered vocals. I actually really like it- like a bad vibe antitode to late 90s chillout music, somewhere between early Tangerine Dream and contemporary Emeralds / Ohneotrix Point Never. Would've made a good second Sisterhood LP, maybe? Mugstar- S/T Kingdom Come- S/T (AKA the even crazier world of Arthur Brown) Dukes of Stratosfear- Psionic Sunspot Julian Cope- Peggy Suicide Can- Future Days Captain Beefheart- Lick My Decals Off Baby Captain Beefheart- The Spotlight Kid Fairport Convention- S/T. the earlier the better for me with Fairport. Love their period as an English Byrds/Airplane type psych-folk band. Jackson C Frank- S/T. Mellow Candle- Swaddling Songs. Bert Jansch- Sampler Bert Jansch- Nicola. Interesting to see a few heads picking this oft-dismissed 'pop' LP as a Bert tribute this week. I love it, it's actually really varied, from the dark and droning to the charmingly throwaway. Pentangle- Basket of Light Pentangle- Cruel Sister (I nearly typed Cruel Summer, then- Pentangle do Bananarama, that would have been something. Or vice versa. Pentagarama! Banananangle!)

Could easily use up my allowance just bunging it on random at work. Kinda miss inflicting this on my workmates (it's all headphones at this place) I've got this somewhere. I'll have to dig it out and give it another try. I think I was initially put off by the over familiarity of some tracks due to use in ads. I know it brings in much needed money to the artist, but I still wish they wouldn't do it. I thought this was a recent compilation? Have I got that wrong? It is really good though. I love the live recordings on it especially, perhaps because I wasn't familiar with those.

I think Nicola is possibly my favourite Bert album (of the ones I know that is), despite it being sort of the odd one out. And hehehehehe! @ Banananananangle :-)

Would've made a good second Sisterhood LP I've got a digital copy of this somewhere, must dig it out again as it's most enjoyable, shme it was never released , would have really annoyed the goths, also on a goth tip this week I have been listening to Bauhaus - Mask SunnO))) - Black One High On Fire - Blessed Black Wings Flaming Groovies - Teenage Head Pink Floyd - Obscured By The Clouds The Muppet Show - download of the music from the first series, most enjoyable in a music hall kinda way and very catchy, one play of Manah Manah had the whole house singing it for the rest of the week Ga'an - ST bit of a grower this one, found it a bit ornate at first but it's wheedling itself into my brain, also appears to be wildly obscure as tape then vinyl release so I'll stick to the mp3 Eleh - Radiant Intervals whilst I can appreciate the mechanics behind Eleh I still find them as dull as ditchwater and just as cold, this one at least has some ''glitch fly'' sounds, but I cannot really recommend it otherwise, a drone too far Delphic Vapours - Get Off Their Knees Klaus Schulze - La Vie Electronique 1 & 3 most of my listening has been to these, wonderful listening, especially Vol3, looking forward to vols 2,4 & 5 by which time I suspect Schulze will have swallowed up all my listening time

Would've made a good second Sisterhood LP, maybe? Gosh, not heard this. Sounds interesting. I like the Sisterhood album; has a weird My Life in the Bush of Goths quality to it. Mr E does a fine line in spoiler albums it seems!

Might have to check these out. AFAIK it's a reissue of the cream of the 50cd Ultimate Schulze set, there's 10 vols of 3cd setsand in a chronological order, I started with One to check the quality and it was spot on, but 3 is really impressive, 2 live sets from 75 and a disc of top notch out takes, so far I'd rate it as good as the TD bootbox [I wish I'd got the 2nd set of that when it was available]Like TD he was making music that was more suited to CD than vinyl way before Cds were about.Not quite sure which year it goes up to, but IIRC I don't think Schulze ever went quite as newagey as TD, I'm certainly going to stick with til it , maybe get a bit cautious about vol7 or 8 but so far v.impressive

Hmm, a bush of goths... do they scream when my daddy prunes?
