Triptides - Sun Pavilion Gnidrolog - Lady Lake Magma - Live Taint - The Ruin of Nova Roma Evile - Five Serpents Teeth Kylie - Fever/Aphrodite Lenny White - Venusian Summer Carlton Melton - Always Even Ultramarine - This Time Last Year Get The Blessing - Lope & Antelope. More quirksome jazz-inflected noises from GTB, with perhaps a darker, sparser tone to some of the tunes than on previous albums. Good stuff. Starsoup - Bazaar of Wonders. Hmmm, a Russian prog-metal project that mixes AOR style melodies with prog virtuosity and twiddlings. A bit like Dream Theater if they remembered to write any actual songs. I like! And surely, only a Russian prog-metal band would call themselves Starsoup! Rannoch - Between Two Worlds. Like this. A death/prog metal band, from the Midlands I believe, that harks back to the very early Opeth stuff, perhaps with a tad more death-brutality on some tracks. Very promising! Yes - Keys To Ascension (Studio tracks) Magnification. (Thanks V much to Ian B for passing these on!) I'd never quite got around to acquiring these latter day Yes albums, perhaps because I'd been slightly underwhelmed by stuff like "The Ladder". I mean, yes it was all huzzahs when Steve Howe was back but then, where was the great, new Yes music?! Then, I saw some reviews and had a conversation with a Yes fan who said that the "Keys to Ascension" studio tracks were actually really good, definitely a step in the right direction, that is, sort of backwards, whilst going forwards. A Yes moon-walk maybe? And also, Ian told me that the "Yes replace Keyboard Player With an Orchestra" album "Magnification" was also, genuinely, very good. So, with his help, I've cobbled together a "lost" Yes album of the "Keys" studio tracks and also now have "Magnification". Wow! The "Keys" album, such as it is, really would've, in my 'umble, been a very good studio album in its own right. It almost seems befuddling that they should almost chuck these songs away as extra bits on a couple of live albums rather than release them as an album proper. For a start, there's a couple of epics in the old Yes vein that, more modern production aside, could happily have sat on things like "Relayer" or "Going for the One". "Magnification" too, is pretty magnifi-cent. The songs are pretty great, the 4-piece Yes seems on fire musically, and the orchestral arrangements enhance and compliment rather than swamp what's going on. So, extremely late to this particular party, but very glad I got there in the end! Have a nice week x

Haven't heard Magnification though, sounds like I need to.

Mint 400 - Intercomfort Mars Volta - Octahedron Phil Manzanera - Diamond Head Moby - Everything is wrong Morrissey - Vauxhall and I Mogwai - 10 rapid Mansun - 6 Lilacs & Champagne S/T Haven't really given this much airing, but worth the effort. Inspired me to search out some Grails and Holy Sons work, plus Dolorean and Om cos RYM told me to sir. Anais Mitchell - Young man in America. Haven't listened to this much either, and not really worth the effort Waterboys - This is the Sea. Is this regarded as their classic? Certainly not my favourite, although of course Whole of the Moon is a song i very rarely tire of

This weeks it's been... Spacemen 3 - Forged Prescriptions/Playing With Fire 2CD/Sound Of Confusion/Translucent Flashbacks. Not played these for years and have really enjoyed getting re-acquainted with them these past few weeks. Still sound remarkably fresh amongst the glut of new psych pretenders. Great stuff! Add N To(X) - Avant Hard/ Loud Like Nature/Add Insult To Injury Another bunch that I've not played in some time and have really got off on. Don't think there was another band from 'their' time with such a quirky take on retro, and that were such top not synth manglers to boot. Momus - Various albums and tracks Fairly new to this guy, but as far as left field pop music goes, he's way out on the fringes. Albums/tracks vary from sweet acoustic ramblings with a sting in the tale [lyrics wise] to Pet Shop Boys polished electro pop, baroque analogue, Jpop, absurd Folktronica and all points in between. Not all great by any stretch of the imagination, but he has a surprisingly high hit rate, and the lyrics are often hilarious, shocking, uncomfortably honest and poignant (often within the same song). Fav' album so far has got to be 'Otto Spooky', a glitch pop tour de force, with the incredibly moving 'Cockle Puckers' about the sad events in Morecambe Bay towards the end. He's given his first 6 albums for free download at Ubuweb, as he stated that they were now long out of print, with Sony music (the current owners) doing nothing with them. Going for silly money second hand he decided they had paid for themselves anyhow, so why not give them for nowt. Here if your interested (you'll have to DL them track by track if you want them all). http://archive.is/pz0UR Great/ funny website/twitter feed too. http://imomus.com/ Forgive the eye patch, he's not being 'arch' (well he probably is, lets be honest). He lost the use of his right eye to infection when he use tap water to clean his contact lenses (so be warned !). Depeche Mode - Singles 81-85 Another bunch I'd forgotten how much I used to like them. Some great pop songs amongst these two discs. Still one of my guilty pleasures if i'm honest. Last album proper I really enjoyed by them was Ultra. Adult - Gimme Trouble If Siouxsie fronted a stripped down electropunk act it might go something like this. John Foxx - A New Kind Of Man (Metamatic Live) Not as good as I was hoping, the quality of some sounds like audience recordings, no bottom end at all, and some of the sounds/playing is a little lacklustre. But I got it from his merch site for £1.99 (still up there if you want it!) so shouldn't moan really. Anyhoo, gotta take the kids out to pals sleep over, so have a great week!

It is really very good! Quite pleasantly stunned by it actually. The orchestral arrangements are so well done. It could so easily have been an exercise in bombast, but it seems the arranger has a real feel for Yes music and all its intricacies, and it works really well I reckon. Songs are good too!
