Couple of weeks worth:

Bee Mask - Elegy for Beach Friday. Great drone based electronica. Will give the speakers a serious work out. I would think that anyone who likes Tim Hecker, Ben Frost etc will go for this.

Larry Coryell with The Wild Hive Players - s/t After enjoying the recent Free Spirits Live at the Scene,from 1967 wondered what Larry was up to these days. Didn't quite expect something as good as this. I've no idea who the Wild Hive Players are but this is a delight. Funky, jazzy, horns and yes fusion of sorts but rooted in soul and R&B and miles away from the wankety wank variety. Lovely cover as well.

Hedvig Mollestad Trio - Shoot! - Rune Grammofon is probably my favourite label at the moment and this is another great release from them. One of the best recorded guitar sounds I've heard in a long time. Essentially an instrumental power(ish) trio pitched somehere between Budgie and Casper Brotzmann with a few ECM type flourishes as well.

Otherwise what I remember:

Faust - s/t

Faust - The Faust Tapes

YNiwl - s/t This one growing on me all the time. Welsh surf twang.

Tomorrow - s/t (Steve Howe pre Yes, Twink, My White Bycycle etc).

Beach Boys - Smile

Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio

Eric Dolphy - Last Date

Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow

Ashra - New Age of Earth

Jean-Claude Eloy - Gaku-No-Michi

Pierre Henry - Le livre des morts égyptien

Richard Chartier - Transparency

Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial

Russian Circles - Empros

Tim Hecker - Atlas

Have a great week all.
