New Bums - Voices in a Rented Room. The latest Ben Chasny project - this time performing with singer songwriter Donovan Quinn. Lovely acoustic guitar and voice duets, with whispered singing. So more song writing than say Six Organs but many of the tracks have a transcendental quality nevertheless. Lovely.
Orthodox - Conoce Los Caminos. Excellent rarities compilation - this week I've particularly been enjoying the demo version of Geryon's Throne, the first ever studio recording of the group - impressive stuff.
Troum und Yen Pox - Mnemonic Inductions. A month after the penultmate drudion and this is still on heavy rotation. Beautiful.
MC5 - Kick Out the James (Rhino Vinyl reissue). Picked this up at a decent price in town yesterday. Has the original gatefold sleeve with John Sinclair notes and it sounds great, the guitars particularly crisp.
SunnO))) and Ulver - Terrestrials. The vinyl finally arrived during the week. Excellent stuff.
Steve Noble and Stephen O'Malley - St Francis Duo. 4 improvisations recorded live at Cafe Oto.
Psychic TV - Mother Sky/Alien Sky. Contemporary krautrock loosely based on the Can epic.
Bong - Beyond Ancient Space (vinyl).
