Great isn't it? That's what this forum is for - it's the new John Peel in my life (not that the old one could ever be replaced but I'm sure you know what I mean).

Thomas Köner - Novaya Zemlya. New one from TK. Another solitary trek across the permafrost. Wadada Leo Smith - Ten Freedom Summers - Epic. WITCH - We Intend to Cause Havoc. - Continues to delight. Dean Allen Foyd - The Sounds Can be So Cruel - Another Shindig Rec. Swedish psych well worth a spin although influences clearly exploited (Hendrix/Cream/Hawkwindish. Rolf Julius - Raining. A bit bizarre to listen to this when so much of the real stuff is happening all around. Bern Nix Trio - Alarms & Excursions - one of Ornette's Prime Time guitarists - marvellous. Steve Lacy/Mal Waldron - Live in Berlin. Two great improvisors. Linda Perhacs - Parallelograms. Had read a lot about this but only got it last week. What a stunning record. Hallock Hill - The Union. Increasingly of the opinion that this is one of the best solo(ish) acoustic guitar record of recent years. Jan Akkerman - Live. Charity shop purchase. Very mediocre. Neneh Cherry/The Thing - The Cherry Thing. Woah! Harmonia - Deluxe. Hans-Joachim Roedelius - momenti-felici. The Fall - The Marshall Suite. The Roches - s/t. (As an aside writing this listening to Freak Zone. Reminds me why I've never bought a Neutral Milk Hotel record). Have a great week all.

Album of the week - Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust Man, this is flipping great! It rocks, it rolls, it steals your very soul. And it is on purple speckled vinyl :-) Nope - Revision This is very highly recommended. Love the drum sound. Carlton Melton - Smoke Drip Lovely cover! Wonderful drifty guitars. Love this band to bits. Kandodo - s/t Brilliant ambient sounds. Black Bombain - Titans Rock of the heavy variety from Portugal. This is a brilliant double album package with gatefold sleeve. Get hold of one if you can. Top stuff. Teeth of the Sea - Your Mercury This is still getting regular plays at Tempest Towers, such a brilliant album. CD of the week: Ty Segall - Slaughterhouse Sleazoid fuzz rock that buzzes and flames your brain. The energy of this is enough to peel the paint off your walls. Smashing! Jon Porras - Black Mesa Sloooow and twanging. Bit like recent Earth stuff. Very nice. Kevin Ayers - The Harvest Years A really great box. Been listening to this a lot. White Manna - s/t Old-style rock, but don't let that put you off. Motorpsycho & Stale Storlokken - The Death Defying Unicorn This is just amazing. Mad jazz, heavy rock, Beach Boys sounds, all kinds of stuff, all telling a sea-going tale over two CDs. Incredible! Cave - Neverendless Went back to this this week and really enjoyed it all over again. Krauty splendidness. Rush - Clockwork Angels Wow! This is really very bloody good. Need to listen to it more to take in the words, but loving it to bits so far. Parson Sound - S/T 2CD set New to me, and so far I'm pretty astonished. So far ahead of its time I reckon Dr Who might have something to do with it. Quicksilver Messenger Service - S/T Finally got around to getting this. I'd had Anthology on album years back, but never investigated the individual albums. Just as good as I'd hoped. Phew! So much good music to listen to lately! What a great year so far.

Sounds like they're playing out their skins to me! I believe there's to be a book that expands on the album story out sometime in the future.
