Ghost - Opus Eponymous Sometimes you have to bow to a higher power. This is to metal & first generation prog what the two Jellyfish abums were to classic rock & power pop ... a whole record made entirely of kitchen sinks. Thanks Mooncat, brilliant album. Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II I have a big soft spot for the first volume from the late 90s as it was literally the only cd I had to listen to during my eldest daughter's protracted stay in hospital a long way from home. This double album sequel is long on content and a little short on major highlights but if you liked the band before Gabriel discovered his inner Serious Artist and the others put the suits and sunglasses on then there is a hell of a lot to enjoy in the melodies and the absolutely stellar guitar playing. Muse - 2nd Law Not really getting it. On the face of it this ticks a lot of boxes for me (anything that evokes Queen, Gavin Friday and the first to two or three Prince albums is probably going to be a favourite). However there is a bit missing for me and that's the personal connection. It's incredibly clever stuff and, like U2 in the 90s, they know exactly where the mainstream art rock listeners' aural G-spots are located but I just haven't warmed to them. Maybe that will come. Au Pairs - Playing With a Different Sex / Sense and Sensuality The debut was a nasty, brilliant record. Having a believable male/female dialogue both within the band and within the songs they cut far closer to the bone on the gender politics issues than Go4 and they had far more in their musical armoury to back it up. They also had a genus for humiliating the subjects with an arch wit rather than just pouring scorn and ire on them. Sense and Sensuality is possibly the more interesting record in terms of rhythm but lyrically it doesn't have the same wince-inducing power of the debut and considerable musical heft didn't save them from having to confront the same problem as Go4, Slits and the Pop Group of transcending an iconic first album. Anyway it is good to see that Lesley Woods ended up putting the polemic into action and is working as a barrister specialising in immigration cases. Beats 30 years on the nostalgia treadmill. Bowie - Stage Carlo Maria Giulini & Orchestra of the Royal Opera House - Verdi: Don Carlo Highlights Japan - Adolescent Sex Traffic - On, By The Way Kiss - Monster Rainbow - On Stage, Live In Germany 1976, Live In Munich 1977 Blue Oyster Cult - s/t Ashkenazy & Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - Rachmaninov: Isle of the Dead

What do you reckon to the solo Frusciante stuff? I absolutely love his guitar style when with others, and was great to watch closely when on the telly.....I know he's got a deep genuine love of Kraut, but have yet to hear a peep of his solo efforts.

Sorry you're not liking the Muse - I feel a bit responsible for guiding you in that direction Ian! Hope it wasn't too much of a let down.
