Aphex Twin - Ambient bits.
Basil Kirchin - Abstractions Of The Industrial North. Listening to this for a long time and it just keeps giving. Floaty, pastoral feel to it. The Observer in particular has lodged in my head.
Gravy Train - s/t, Ballad of a Peaceful Man. Love this band, well these two albums anyway. Enough invention to carry you through the inevitable by-the-numbers-70's-blues-chugging. Never bothered with the later albums, always assumed that a third tier proggy rock band would probably have exhausted themselves with two decent albums. Any others worth checking out?
The Fatima Mansions - Lost In The Former West. Such a vicious album. And he had a crystal ball.
Guapo - Five Suns.
I Teoremi - I Teoremi
Lesiman - The Future Sounds of Lesiman.
Levitation - Need For Not.
Magic Lantern - s/t.
Motorpsycho - Heavy Metal Fruit.
November - 6:e. Great album. Swedish power trio, 1972. Their best album. Genuinely good, not just obscurish.
Peter Baumann - Trans Harmonic Nights. Must do something about my laziness. Always assumed Romance 76 was a one off. No. This is very good. As everyone else probably knew.
The Rose of Avalanche - Always There. I know finding the right band name is always a struggle but come on. How long did they really try before settling on that? Too Many Castles In The Sky is a great song still.
Six Organs of Admittance - Sun Awakens, School of the Flower.
Storm Corrosion - s/t. This was a surprise. Might have to give Heritage another go.
