John Luther Adams - In the White Silence, The Light That Fills the World and The Place We Began JLA sits somewhere near the intersection of Oliveros, Reich, Jarrett's "Spheres", Feldman's "Rothko Chapel" and the other John Adams. Music with a glacial stillness than makes "Odin" (which I love btw) sound a bit half baked by comparison. Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Don't Explain Got to mention Beth Hart at The Forum. An astonishing performance from a powerhouse of a rock/soul stylist. Fairly horrible band mind - decent on the slow stuff, heavy handed at mid tempo, pornographically brutal at the gallop. If you ever saw Ghost World you will know all about what happens when Americans turn the Blues into an athletic event. BH herself is a bona fide genius on stage so I had to play this when I got home to remind myself of what was missing. Many of her albums sound like someone hit-chasing at the behest of idiot a&r men. "Don't Explain" however is a proper record by a genuine star of the stage. Amy in top form meets a pre AOR Elkie. If she is passing your way I can't recommend seeing her play live highly enough. The Runaways - s/t & Queen Of Noise Chugtastic, snotty glam pop but with a swagger that records like LAMF and most of the class of 77 could only dream about. Stones - The Brussels Affair Not sure The Stones have ever been better than on the 73 European tour. Stones - It's Only Rock 'N Roll By 74 any remaining believers in the media were heralding this as the final fag-end of the Stones as a vital force. 38 years later (!) it sounds fantastic. If you can listen around Jagger's silly voices then it is worth it for some lovely clavinet and piano moments (from non Stones Preston and Hopkins) and for Mick Taylor's bass on Fingerprint File alone. ACR - to each ... Funny bass end, actually funny production all round but an interesting listen none the less. I remember being disappointed with the thinly coated, watery sound at the time but it stands up remarkably well as a piece of highly experimental post punk and stands up very well next to Skidoo's "Seven Songs" and "The Gospel Comes To New Guinea". Prince - Come His last really good 45 minutes worth. Not as good material-wise as the pre Purple Rain records but a much tougher sound. Miles - Porgy & Bess : The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings This record seems to have fallen into disrepute amongst the hipster crowd but whatever you think about P&B as an opera/musical the tunes are killer and the Davis/Evans axis extract every ounce of beauty and pathos from them. Kleptones - Cherry & The Dubmaster 13th Floor Elevators - Bull of the Woods (8 track mix) Cassandra Wilson - Blue Light Til Dawn Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics Red Crayola - The Parable of Arable Land The Herbaliser - Very Mercenary Various - Cold Blue Two

Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam Scott Walker - Scott 4 Scott Walker - 'Til The Band Comes In Füxa - Very Well Organized Bee Gees - 1st Jean Michel Jarre - Equinox (Thought I should check this out after fellow Krautrock fans kept bigging him up. Liked it for a bit but was quite relieved when it came to an end. I prefer Vangelis). Elton John - Honky Chateau Elton John & Leon Russell - The Union (£2 from the Dada closing down sale. A bit too overly reliant on gospelly cliches to really hold the interest). Barclay James Harvest - Barclay James Harvest Barclay James Harvest - Once Again (Only just discovering BJH - this sounds like a classic on first listen - very Moody Blues with bits of King Crimson and Pink Floyd) Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - History Of Modern Pet Shop Boys - Alternative Sunn O))) - White 1 Kraftwerk - Radioactivity of Arrowe Hill - A Few Minutes In The Absolute Elsewhere Donald Fagen - Sunken Condos (not really a Steely Dan fan but someone shared this with me via Dropbox so I thought it would be rude not to give it a listen. Didn't change my mind but it seemed fairly adept, I suppose). Cardiacs - The Seaside Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons Edgar Broughton Band - Wasa Wasa

Cephalic Carnage - Conforming to Abnormality Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies Old Man Gloom - No Smoke Fairies - Blood Speaks Ghost - Opus Eponymous Inference - Resistance is Mutable (proper brill!) Solus3 - Corner of the Dub Wikan - Samhain EP Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? Witchfynde - Stagefright. Bo Ningen - Line The Wall Ancestors - Of Sound Mind Weird Owl - Ever the Silver Cord be loosed HIM - Dark Light. Grifter - The Simplicity of the Riff is Key ep / High Unholy Mighty Rollin Ep Two sweet slices of deliciously grubby rock n riffery. Bit like if Orange Goblin went on a massive bender with early 70's Quo and they recorded the ensuing carnage. Like! Opeth - Orchid. Lenny White - Venusian Summer / Adventures of Astral Pirates (genius!!) Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Rose Kemp - Unholy Majesty / The Golden Shroud Julian Cope - Rite NOW KISS - Monster Sylver Tongue - Something Big EP. Jannick Topp - Soleil D'Ork. Sumptiously mad! Brain Donor - Wasted Fuzz Excesive. Listened to this quite a lot this week and found myself enjoying it more then I'd remembered. In fact, I think it's pretty fab and probably a bit Unsung in the Donor discog. Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow. I love this and I love that I've got a 'winter' album. Have a nice week tune tasters! x

Brian Eno - Lux Beautiful. Just lovely. Ana Never - Small Years I think that if you like the latest Godspeed, you might enjoy this. I love it. http://ananever.bandcamp.com/album/small-years These Hands - Endlessly This is good too. http://thesehandsband.bandcamp.com/ Mugstar - S/T (vinyl - yeah!), Serra (Distant Sun Mix), Centralia (Tour only CD), ..Sun Broken I love this band. They were brilliant on Tuesday, just great. Ty Segall - Twins Rock! Fab feedbacky rock. Tomorrow - S/T Great old school psych. Only just got the Cd of this 60s gem. Mono - For My Parents Orchestral post rock stuff that is actually rather nicer than that sounds! Pelt - Effigy Wonderful acoustic droneyness. Lovely album. Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin Classic! Lumerians - Telos IV thingie Bloody marvellous! Buy it. Cold Pumas - Persistent Malaise Great album by young band. Strikes me this sort of thing indicates what a marvellous time it is for new music, and a whole new generation of great musicians are appearing out of the woodwork despite all the X-Craptor bollocks.
