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
