Daytime listening the last couple of weeks has been all about Leveson but with the sessions suspended on Thursday and Friday I have had a listen to these

Black Tempest - Supernormal Recordings
Have been saving this for a stupidly long, one-day work trip to the west country but sneaked a listen to the first disc and it is another post-Ricochet TDream-esque cracker from the dark ritual side of Bikini Bottom. If only TD were still making records like this themselves ...

Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow
"Landslide" as written from the perspective of a Bowie fan from Bexley Heath rather than a folkie from Palo Alto. Would be my record of the year were it not for "Director's Cut".

Def Leppard - Hysteria
The "Dare" of metal albums.

Steelwing - Lord of the Wasteland
Genius homage to NWOBHM from the frozen north courtesy of Mooncat (thanks!). They have all the non musical attributes - Nordic metal tresses, acres of stretch demin, white hi-tops, one member whose look doesn't quite fit, 2000AD sleevage and a classic early 80s metal logo. Sometimes listening to some young 'uns revisiting musical ground that the originators themselves have tired of is a wonderful thing. And who doesn't need a little Saxon / Maiden meet Marc Storace in their lives?

Bowie - Beckenham Demos, Space Oddity, Man Who Sold The World, Bowie At The Beeb

Sergiu Celibidache w/ Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra - Brahms: A German Requiem

Sergiu Celibidache w/ Munchner Philharmoniker - Brahms: A German Requiem

Sergiu Celibidache w/ Munchner Philharmoniker - Bartók - Concerto For Orchestra

Francine Luce - Bo Kay La Vi-A
