False Positives – Akatombo
I reviewed this one here. It’s getting a big 7 out of 7 from me!
http://www.evilsponge.org/albums/Akatombo__FalsePositives.htm

Centurion Travel EP – Bomber Jackets
Very early 80’s post-punk sounding. Rocks my boat anyway!

The Baboon in the Basement - Martin Gordon
Former Radio Stars bassist/songwriter solo set from a few years back. Includes a few cover versions – including We Love You, The Move’s Tonight (a nice unusual one to cover!) and a more than decent take on Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Warlord Of The Royal Crocodiles, a track I always felt would suit an electric treatment. And it does!

Bona Drag – Morrissey
Excellent compilation of those early 45’s and b-sides. It’s always good to hear tracks like Lucky Lisp again.

This Is PiL – PIL
Only heard this once so far, but it sounds better than I expected, though as much as I like Lydon’s voice I think it would be better lower in the mix.

Ghost Songs EP – Rain Kings
One of my favourite releases from last year. Hypnotic despite its distorted sound.

Ghostory - School Of Seven Bells
I was probably guilty of under-selling this here recently, but I've got to say that this is one of my most-played albums of the year along with the recent Akatombo album.

Tighten Up: The History Of Reggae In The UK – V/A
The cd that came with the book of the same name. Some great old tracks on this.

West – Wooden Shjips
This is still pretty new to me as I only got it when I went to a recent (really good!) gig of theirs, but I’m liking it a lot. Might just be their most consistent set yet - and how brilliant is Flight?!!

Also...
Grave Disorder – The Damned
New York ’88 / Phoenix ’94 – Iggy Pop
Mind Lagoons - Skyray
Liquid Crystal Display – Skyray
Sweet Heart Sweet Light - Spiritualized
Remix EP – Tarwater
Cambridge Blue – Three Fields
The Word Magazine's Latitude 2012 Compilation – V/A
Monoliths EP – WIKAN
