Last couple've weeks

Monoshock - Runnin' Ape-like From the Backwards Superman: 1989-1995/Walk to the Fire (Some of the best garage-noise I've heard in ages. Bit like a slightly (slightly) less in-the-red High Rise spurned on by the hateful snottiness of Electric Eels)

The Legendary Pink Dots - Chemical Playschool 3+4 (Possibly my favourite Dots release? Maybe. Either way, it's ridiculous they can put out so many albums and still cast off material of this calibre)

Christian Television - Cathode Mirror (Pretty good. "improvised space drone and acid folk twisted through heavy psychic filters." Available to stream on bandcamp here)

Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays (Nice ambient techno stuff. The Cassavetes one is the best)

Family Fodder - More Great Hits/All Styles (Probably the finest dada pop I've ever heard. Adore 'em. "She goes to the bathroom- that's no place for me")

Laurence Vanay - Galaxies/Evening Galaxies (Needs more plays but thoroughly pleasant female French atmospheric prog stuff)

Arrigo Barnabé - Clara Crocodile (Utterly bonkers Brazilian musical madness- like a hyper ADHD-affected Magma- that helped take down the weakening Brazilian military government in its own small way. Diversões eletrônicas)

V.A. - 100% Dynamite! NYC: Dancehall Reggae Meets Rap in New York City (Really good. I'm sorry for any earlier statements I've made about Dancehall being homophobic unlistenable claptrap. Most of what I've heard's been great)

Cotton Casino - We Love Cotton (One of the strangest Acid Mothers spin-offs. Noisy Synth-Pop with cewt girlie Japanese vocals)

Robin Williamson - Various Tales (Love his stories. I wish there were more modern-day bards like him roaming the countryside with nought but a harp in tow and an armoury of tales)

V.A. - Mass Culture Control Bureau... (Featuring the other Black Sheep and a series of other quirky and inventive post-punk pop bands headed by Geoff Leigh. File next to The Homosexuals, Family Fodder and The Residents. Great stuff)

France Gall - Poupée de Son (Just perfect 60s Pop)

Flamen Dialis - Symptome Dei (Could be a long-lost electronic Krautrock gem from France. Worth scouting out)

Armand Schaubroeck - Live at the Holiday Inn (Haven't steeled myself up to listen to this yet, but I might give it a try today seeing as how it's raining and all. Pray for me)

Larkin Grimm - Harpoon (Very powerful free/k folk)

R. Stevie Moore - Swing & a Miss (Completely different from the last release I'd heard by him. My kinda pop music- lo-fi melodic concoctions cooked up by one headcase who's spent too much time by himself)

Father Murphy - Anyway Your Children Will Deny It (Just picked this up and about to play now)
