Tracks

Lucifer's Friend - Ride The Sky
.

A track which has more than a passing similarity to Immigrants Song but is possibly better, it’s all in the horns. Got a soft spot for that first Lucifer’s Friend album as it is all “wrong“ in a difficult to pinpoint way. Got something to do with some of them playing in the James Last Orchestra I am sure. Toxic Shadows defines it for me. Lets see..

James Lawton singing, later of an unforgivable version of Uriah Heep. Just listened to it all after being sucked in after your post. A later album Mean Machine is supposed to be quite good, in a Rainbow sort of way, but I vowed never to listen to another album of theirs after an unfortunate exposure to their second album which is shit.

Anyway, I have been listening to…

Add N to (X) - Avant Hard.

The Auteurs - After Murder Park.

Amebix - Sonic Mass. At the risk of saying exactly the same things every time I post on here, this is so good. In a pagan metal Rose Kemp kind of way.

Arboretum - The Gathering. Which I have gone off. Sounding increasingly clod hopping and turgid. But I did like it. Just me being mercurial. Putting me off trying the new album though.

Danielle Dax - Dark Adapted Eye. Great yet impossible to get best of. Must try to get hold of Pop Eyes again (great album with a sleeve to give Toe Fat 1 a run for its stomach churning money).

The Fatima Mansions - Lost In The Former West.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets, Skynyds First and Last, Street Survivors.

Queens Of The Stone Age - s/t. Possibly the greatest rock album ever. A ridiculous claim… but I reckon it might be.

Smoke Fairies - Blood Speaks. Could not get this at first but, after the insistence of Fatalist that I give it another go, concede that it may be the best album from a bumper 2012.

Spirit - Clear, Feedback, s/t, The Family That Plays Together, 12 Dreams. Even the Randy-less Feedback sounds great (well better than I remembered). All released so quickly after each other and all so great. Get the lot for under £12 in the Original Masters series.
