Todd @ Shepherds Bush Empire
The only man in the world who can make you think of Devo, The Tubes, Art of Noise, Frankie Beverly, Pete Tong, Thomas Dolby, Sven Vath, Bobby Conn, Daryl Hall and er ..... The Thompson Twins all in the same song. A fantastic set made up of Orbital flavoured sounds and straight down the line four on the floor 90s techno. The new album "State" was played in its entirety (with Prairie Prince and Jesse Gress) followed by a solo medley encore of the greatest hits done System F style and topped off by a pre-recorded guitar version of Ellington's Isfahan as the building cleared. Amazingly this kept the Todd grey-beards in the their seats for the whole 90 minutes rather than running for the exits when I had predicted a riot or at least an exodus. Faith in open-eared humanity partly restored, now off to dig out some dusty MixMag cover-mounts and to re-imagine that Todd album of Larry Levan covers.

The Temptations - Psychedelic Soul. Worked wonders for the few days the sun was out.

Witchcraft - Legend. Amongst the plethora of 70s infused rock bands about at the moment I've always had a soft spot for Witchcraft, but this is really quite excellent indeed! Awesome! \m/

Hour of 13 - 333. Delish doom and NWOBHM style hybrid.

Poltergeist - Your Mind is a Box (Let us Fill it with Wonder). Will Seargent and Les Pattinson's new, kraut influenced instrumental project. Don't get me wrong; this has much to recommend it and I do like it a lot and I'd happily point any Will fans in its direction but....in my heart of hearts, I do wish it was just that little bit more freer and madder. I guess when I first heard the rumours of "Will & Les go Prog" I was kind of hoping for some Mac-Free sense of abandon to explode out into something more delirious. There's still a nagging feeling of holding it all in a bit. However, it IS a good album and I hope they do more.

Human Fly - Awesome Science. Ace UK prog-metal that recalls The Mars Volta amongst other things.

DragonForce- The Power Within. Think this has become my fave DF album
Atheist - Piece of Time
Jex Thoth - Blood Moon Rise
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
The Drum Machine Project - st
Crock Oss - One More Time for Stupid. (Hope he doesn't mean me!)
The Horrors - Strange House
Black Oath - Ov Qlipthoth & Darkness.

Ancestors - In Dreams & Time. US psyche/doom/drone mob expand their sonic palette and the spectre of Floyd hangs heavily in the air, even down to the Hipgnosis style sleeve art. Reveals more of its pleasures on repeated listens.

Have a nice week x

Caravan 'Blind Dog at St Dunstans' - sublime progressive pop from Caravan's half-forgotten mid period;

Bauhaus 'In The Flat Field' - nothing like as embarrassing as it seemed at the time: in fact I dig this today more than ever before;

The Clash 'The Clash' - played after Chris Packham's ever cleverer inclusion of Clash song titles into his Springwatch commentaries (example: "Bright, garish colours on birds? Naah, give me black or white. Riot of colour - that's what I like, not electric Protex blue.." or "No, you can't call the runt of the litter Runty, as with a name like that he's bound to fail. Call him Rudy, cos Rudy can't fail". Right on, dude!);

Julian Cope 'Discover Odin' - the musical sequences of which move me as much as anything the Drude has ever done;

The Monochrome Set 'Love Zombies' - post-punk pop with more than a hint of Canterbury influence;

Tyrannosaurus Rex 'My People Were Fair And Had Sky In Their Hair But Now They're Content To Wear Stars On Their Brows' - like the three albums after it, this first full length Bolan opus still tickles my pleasure bone with its sub-ISB charm;

Wishbone Ash 'Clan Destiny' - a damn good latterday Wishbone Ash album with some stunning axe-sparring between Andy Powell and the very Hillage-esque Muddy Mustonen. Shame about the former's nasal vocals though - a taste I have yet to acquire;

Deep Purple 'Now! What?' - easily the best Purple album of the Morse era;

Al Stewart 'Zero She Flies' - of its time but still great. If Al'd pegged it after this third album we'd all be venerating him as much as Nick Drake now. As it is he's terminally uncool, and unfairly so I reckon;

Cat Stevens 'Mona Bone Jakon' - my comments regarding Al Stewart apply here too. In fact, this first Island release after two years of TB-induced exile is every bit as spare, subtle and beguiling as 'Five Leaves Left' and 'Bryter Layter';

Buddy Rich 'The Complete Verve Sessions' - distinguished by the sweet trumpet of Harry 'Sweets' Edison: sublime stuff, and nice work if you can get it...;

Charlie Parker 'With Strings' - wherein a tortured soul cuts through the blandness of his surroundings with inventive and inspired improvisation that belittles the over-used term of "genius";

Hagen Quartet: Haydn Quartet Op.20 no.4; Bartok Quartet no.4; and Beethoven Quartet Op.131 - played in tribute to fellow Cope, Bowie and classical music fan Bill Middlemist who lost his life last week. R.I.P. mate - you had great music taste.

Take care out there, dudes - and good listening.

Dave

I love those recordings, possibly not quite as much as the Dial session ballads but I don't find them bland at all. A little sugary maybe (and no solo trumpet for contrast) but with that tone and the note selection of a master of his craft it's more Madeleine than Space Dust. One of the great Sunday morning collections.

Melt Yourself Down - S/T. Great energy from the bloke out of Zun Zun Egui, backed up with great jazz riffs from Pete Wareham et al

Steve Mason - Monkey's Mind in the Devil's Time. Great solo offering from Steve. His best solo album yet methinks - certainly under the moniker of steve

Apollo 440 - Electric Glide in Blue

Daevid Allen & The Magick Brothers - Live in San Francisco. Nice to hear this as saw him play recently

Joe Meek - I hear a new world. I think it was re released recently as i first heard about it in the 'I' a few weeks back. A real trail blazer to what might be called Space age pop. Been checking out his story online and apparently he had a bit of a tragic life - certainly how it ended. Described as groundbreaking in use of electronics and gimmicky gadgetry 50 plus years ago. A real case of heads up, this one i think. His song Telstar was recorded by the Tornados and became the biggest selling instrumental of all time in 1962.

*Edit. Haven't quite finished.

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Mark Burgess & the sons of God - Zima Junction
