I'm honestly not meaning to sound rude here, but why don't you post all your listenings in one fell swoop.

I'll be honest, I don't go back and check what you've added to your list and I suspect I'm not alone. Your eagerness to be first here (when we're barely into the 9th!) means that - unless I'm not around when you initially post - I barely get to see what you've been listening to, compared with what everyone else posts.

Not that this particularly matters in the great scheme of things, but if you don't want people to read your soundtracks there doesn't really appear much point in going to the trouble of posting them! Or am I missing something?

Desertshore/The Final Report - X-TG. Well, this is a mixed bag. When its good its good. Some of it is meh.. That Sasha Grey 'Afraid' track is bloody awful. I really want to hear the Blixa versions of all of the first CD tbh, they are the best tracks on it. Its not just his performance either, its the mix/production of those two as well (as in there are sounds in the compositions that escape the huge space and muffled bass annoyingly present on everything else). The Gasper Noe track is very good too, it's kind of like an early Young Gods number in many ways. The Second CD is great though, and I'll be playing that a lot.

WHNZ47- PsyFi Thanks to HI DEN for this recommendation. Bloody marvellous netlabel compilation of finnish experimental music.

Hangedup & Tony Conrad - Transit of Venus. Okays, this sounds exactly how you'ld expect it too. But its a very good thing, it doesn't let me down anyroad.

heu{s-k}ach - Két. Beautiful album of minimal music released on the Camomile netlabel.

Hedgerows - Dadala. Great improv, noise jazz ep by a group who've we've been listening to a lot recently (mostly the 'Tall Tales' release). Grab it here http://dadalamusic.com/discs__downloads/ Anna has contributed cover art to the upcoming 'Bodystairs' release too.

I'm afraid I too am guilty of starting a list - and then, on getting distracted posting it up, rather than leaving the dialogue box open. And, on remembering something else I'd been listening to, go back to the posted list and adding more albums.

Marnin'...

Hawkind - Levitation. Huw Lloyd-Langton's finest hour perhaps? Certainly a favourite of mine anyhoo. RIP

New Model Army - Today is a Good Day
Rose Kemp - The Golden Shroud
Alex Hutton Trio - Legentis. Great stuff!
Talvin Singh - Ha
Air - Talkie Walkie
Solus3 - Corner of the Dub
Christos Fanara - Impermanence
Inference - Resistance is Mutable
Kosmiche Boy - Clockwerk
Electro Quarterstaff - Gretzky
Stealing Sheep - Into The Diamond Sky.
Asteroid - ST
Uriah Heep - Into The Wild.
Mediaeval Baebes - The Huntress
Ancestors - Of Sound Mind
Devil Driver - Beast. Fantastic! m/
Mirror Queen - From Earth Below
Lords of Falconry - ST
I am Colossus - ST
Luke Vibert & BJ Cole - Stop The Panic!

Haco & Sakamoto Hiromachi - Ash in the Rainbow. Fragile, improvised beauty merged with welcome slices of something quite silly. Melancholic and entertaining. Bargain! (Thanks Ian!)

Priestess - Hello Master. Superb 70's infused riffage.
Curve - Come Clean
The Black Ships - Kurofune EP (have they done any more? Must check!)*
Starlings - The Last One 12"
Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier

Mr Oizo - Analog Worms Attack. Hadn't played this for awhile and it struck me as to how odd it is in a way. I wonder what some people may have thought if they got this album on the strength of the "Flat Beat" Levis hit -itself quite odd and, ironically, listed as an 'extra track' - and got home to find an album of minimal, pretty skewed, squelchy, n' experimental electronica some of which could easily be described as proto-dubstep. Good stuff though and made even more pleasingly absurd by a little sticker of Flat Eric on the cd box saying "This is the music I dance to." Makes me smile anyway.

Have a nice week x

*EDIT (ooer!) Apparently The Black Ships, as in Nick McCabe and co, are now called Black Submarine after a dispute with a US band also called The Black Ships.

Me too, especially if I'm doing this in a wi-fi place and not with my albums to hand. I don't think it's, as yet, an offence punishable by law. Maybe you might get a few strokes of the ruler on your palms or something. I think I've been fairly complete this week so gold stars for me! ;^)

Dave Brubeck Quartet 'Dave Digs Disney', Jazz Impressions of New York; 'Jazz Impressions of Eurasia', 'Jazz Impressions of Japan', 'Countdown: Time Out In Outer Space', 'Time Changes' and 'Bravo Brubeck' - cos he was a favourite, a legend, and a pivotal part of yours truly's lifelong obsession with shiny black round things with grooves on each side;

David Sylvian 'Manafon' and 'Approaching Silence'...the former of which sent me back to Christian Fennesz' gorgeous 'Vienna' and AMM's free-as-ever but surprisingly accessible 'Newfoundland'. You gotta give old Batty credit for his adventurous choice of collaborators;

Ian McCullough 'Candleland' - well, I just dig the arrogant sod in his wannabeNewOrder pop mould;

Gong 'Live Etc' - specifically the Hillage-led stuff on side 4 - belting;

The Stooges 'The Stooges' - well, just 'We Will Fall' really: a mega mantra endured and enjoyed on an interminable Grand Central train journey in the cold. It seemed to suit the scene for some reason;

Miles Davis: both 'Live at the Blackhawk' sets - documentating a largely forgotten period between the Coltrane and Shorter eras. Highly recommended;

Janacek: both String Quartets played by the Talich Quartet (superb); Arthur Bliss conducting all five of Elgar's 'Pomp & Circumstance' Marches (I was in central London and being a working class Mackem tend to colour the place thus); and Bruno Walter's heartfelt take on Brahms' valedictory Fourth Symphony.

Keep warm out there.

Dave
