Fairhorns- Doki Doki Run. Bleak urban ritual music from Matt Loveridge (Team Brick, Beak >). Very beakish. Excellent.
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats- Blood Lust. Just caught up with this heavy Sabs pastiche. Great stuff.
Royal Trux- Accelerator. The late 90s were a shit time for rock music. This is a notable exception.
Charles Mingus- Mingus Ah Um
Charles Mingus- The Clown
Charles Mingus- Pithecanthropus Erectus. All 3 albums on one 2CD set for a fiver!
Patti Smith- Wave. Has some of her best straight up rock songs and some mawkish god-bothering filler. For Frederick, Dancing Barefoot, Citizen Ship and So You Want To Be A Rock n' Roll Star though, I'll forgive anything.
Cheap Trick- All Shook Up. Bought this in a charity shop for a pound; the only other Trick LP I have is Heaven Tonight, which I love, but I'm not entirely sure yet that I need this one.
Buffalo Springfield- Again. Beautiful stuff.
The Small Faces- S/T. No song over 3 minutes, nearly half of them under 2.
XTC- Oranges and Lemons. The 80s production sounding very harsh, but some great songs. Just heard the new Animal Collective single on the freak zone and thought it could almost have come off this.
