Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love (Deluxe Edition) - The Sa-Ra Creative Partners

The Complete Blue Note Sixties Sessions - Herbie Hancock

Person to Person - AWB

Live In Montreaux - AWB

The soul end of the pub rock and college circuit scene produced a sound that was nothing like the music coming out America adding an appreciation for rock dynamics that amounted to a lot more than the laying on of extended guitar wig-outs like say Mother's Finest. Listen to the AWB version of Work To Do next to the Isley's. Different worlds.

AWB were the superstars of this hybrid sound but there were a lot of other bands on the circuit in 76 covering the same territory with rock musicians finding their own way to play funk. These bands and that sound would have been hard to miss if you were going out to hear music in 75/76 and I think that they had a quiet say in how some of the more interesting Post Punk music developed. The problem with any cultural Year Zero is that people work overtime to forget things that they would benefit from keeping around. Inconveniently uncool chains of influence are erased. Did the likes of Donald Johnson listen closely to Steve Ferrone? I would have a decent sized wager that he did and he wouldn't have been alone.

Hookworms - Pearl Mystic
Fairly standard but nonetheless exhilirating psych/drone rock from Leeds. My only slight reservation is that there are now so many bands mining that Loop/Hawkwind/Neu!/BRMC area for inspiration that the sound is in danger of becoming a formula if the groups involved don't start bringing in other influences to vary the recipe a little. Whilst - in its league - this is a very good record, I think this might be the last band of this ilk that I'm going to let through my personal listening gate for a while as there are other areas that are equally deserving of exploration.


Public Service Broadcasting - Inform, Educate, Entertain
This lot played a marvellous show as part of the British Library's Propoganda Exhibition on Friday - marvellous enough, in fact, to inspire me to buy this the following day. Have only listened once so far, and whilst I'm not yet sure whether it's the best new release I've heard all year it's certainly the least predictable, and sounds like it will be a grower.

Aphrodite's Child - 666
What a magnificently bonkers record! If only all prog rock were this innovative, expansive and plain psychedelic, I'd have a lot more than fifteen prog albums on my I-Pod. Shame that neither Vangelis nor Demis Roussos have released anything remotely in the same league since, although In know the former's early solo albums do have their supporters around these parts.

Also mentioned in dispatches?

Gene Clark - Flying High (which I've owned for years now, but whose brilliance never dims)
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka
Gastr Del Sol - Camofleur
The Yardbirds - Roger the Engineer
Ultramarine - Every Man and Woman is a Star

Billy Cobham - Crosswinds/Total Eclipse. Sometimes, when the sun comes out, I just want to get fonkeh fusiontastic on my ass.

Crock Oss - One More Time For Stupid. Nice one Spaceship Mark.

The Algorithm - Polymorphic Code. Head mangling djent-tech metal/dub/drum n bass/glitchy/proggy/trancey/everything but the kitchen sinky lunacy. And a lotta fun! Not tried it with headphones yet but I expect some painkillers and the Samaritans on speed-dial might be a good idea when I do!

Atheist - Piece of Time. Proto death/thrash/prog hybrid. V good with an amazing rhythm section.

Jex Thoth - Blood Moon Rise. Liking this newie a lot. Up the Jexness!

Black Oath - Ov Qlipthoth and Darkness. (What a title!) Nice n heavy doom with epic flourishes.

Flairk - Nice floaty, folky, bit jazzy, curio from days of yore, all rustic charm and pleasantness.(thanks Ian!)

Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth.
Yes - 90125
Black Sabbath - Never Say Die
Thin Lizzy - Chinatown
DragonForce - The Power Within
Lumerians - The High Frontier
Isoptope - Best of..

Zombie Sam - Self Conscious Insanity. I sniffed this as an el cheap promo not expecting that much but it's very silly and quite a lot of fun. Basically it's an Italian weird Nightwish/Marilyn Manson hybrid and as such, endearingly absurd and pretty rockin'. Makes me smile anyhoo.

Have a nice week sound slurpers x

OCS - 3&4 (not to be confused with Ocean Colour Scene in any respect!)
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Gnarls Barkeley - The 2nd album... The Odd Couple
Six Organs of Admittance - School of the Flower
Bjork - Vespertine
Apse - Spirit
Winkies - Peel Sessions
Akron/Family - S/T. One of the finest albums of some times
Atlas Sound - Let the blind lead those who can see but cannot feel
Acoustic Ladyland - Skinny Grin
13 & God - S/T

I only tend to mention the stuff that i like - there's a fair bit that doesn't agree with me that i rarely mention except in that 'what aren't you enjoying at the moment' thread a while back.

I'm off the try out the new Jon Hopkins album which is supposed to be the bee's patella.

Also should mention that i saw Sweet Baboo and Laura Fletcher this week. Laura should get a mention for covering Anais Mitchell's Why do we build the wall, and another mention for writing reasonable songs of her own concoction. Sweet Baboo i had dismissed as fairly uninteresting and not very distinguishable run of the mill stuff having heard them/him on Mark Riley a few weeks back. But it turns out that on his own at least he passes muster in the songwriting stakes.

Quite annoying really when live music does that to me. The only criteria i have for going to see a live band is whether i like them on record (what other criteria can there be?!!!), but this can sometimes prove to be misleading.
