V/A - Autumn Almanac Bert Jansch - Rosemary Lane Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering Scott Walker - Scott 3 Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited Elton John - Honky Chateau Elvis Presley - Elvis Sings Memphis Tennessee Elvis Presley - Elvis Sings Guitar Man (2 of the 'lost' albums from the Follow That Dream label, both re-jiggings of previous compilations. The latter becomes a more realistic proposition as a 'should-have-been' studio album by jettisoning the 1968 recordings included on the 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' CD, leaving a set of tracks laid down between May 1966 and September 1967. Unfortunately this means that a couple of real gems get dropped, while some crap remains. Could have been tightened up by losing 2 more tracks, making the 'Guitar Man' LP a pretty consistent 12 tracker, which is what it would have been had it been put out for real back in 1967). Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Dazzle Ships Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Junk Culture Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Crush Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Peel Sessions 1979-1983 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Navigation: The OMD B-Sides

Stevo wrote: had the Modern Lovers on myself this week but mine was Precise Modern Lovers Order the early live compi that's Longbranch Saloon plus. Pretty great cd if you can still get it. I love the 1st studio lp too. Finally got a physical version again this summer though mine is part of the Sanctuary 2cd compi.name of which eludes me at mo. Has the first 2lps plus singles on first disc tho presumably later lps on the other. Cant check right now cos not at home. There's a good bio of JR called There's Something About Jonathon that i picked up from FOPP a couple of years back fr 2quid i think. Plus they're covered in From The Velvets to The Voidoids aren't they. Jerry Harrison's droning keyboards are pretty sublime. The mix of VU/Stooges influence too The only ones I've got tbh are S/T and Rock 'N' Roll With The Modern Lovers. Definitely need to get the Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers one. I also fancy that 90's album with the Velvet Underground song on.

In recent weeks... Holy Fuck- Lp The Chameleons- Script of the Bridge Pink Floyd- Piper at the Gates of Dawn (original vinyl copy in mono that I found in a charity shop for £15! Looked pretty scratchy but cleaned it up and it plays brilliantly, and the mix does sound significantly different to the one I'm familiar with...) Roy Harper- Folkjokeopus (on sunset, same charity shop for a fiver) XTC- Skylarking The Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers Anika- S/T Anton Barbeau- In The Village of the Apple Sun Anton Barbeau- Drug Free Anton Barbeau- Psychedelic Mynde of Moses Steppenwolf- Early / Live The Amboy Dukes- Survival of the Fittest Live Magazine- No Thyself (mmm... great lyrics, rather middle-aged and anaemic music, IMO. When they do come alive it sounds like they're parodying themselves, yet weirdly Devoto seems aware of this and plays it up in the lyrics, especially on last track, 'The Burden of a Song.' The presence of McGeoch and Adamson are inevitably greatly missed here). Magazine- The Correct Use of Soap Magazine- Secondhand Daylight Magazine- Real Life Elvis Costello- Brutal Youth John Cale- Fear Ane Brun- It All Starts with One Baby Dee- Goes Down to Amsterdam Birdengine- The Crooked Mile Maria and the Gay- Greatest Hits Volume 1 Flare Acoustic Arts League- Big Top / Encore Mistys Big Adventure- The Family Amusement Centre The Oscillation- Out of Phase

I'm quite touched that people are still enjoying Secret Astronomies and the Proximas btw - thanks! I've not heard anything else by Bong so can't compare it to Gilgamesh but I would recommend it to folk who like heavy drone. But the drone is just the central noise, the "sitar" instrument, other guitar and rhythm section kind of dance round it - the drums and bass especially are fantastic the way they just gradually shift gear. There's always something new to hear The drone gives way on the last track to an Ash Ra Tempel, Amboss sound. I can see why they subtitled the album Unsere Kosmiche Musik! According to my itunes I've played cosmic wand transform 17 times - I love it, it's v calming.
