Box set central this week!

Leonard Cohen - Complete Studio Albums
This Heat - Out of Cold Storage
Janis Joplin - Box of Pearls
All of these are great, and giving me a lot of pleasure, but the This Heat box is a revelation. No idea why but I never caught up with This Heat back in the day, despite knowing about them and liking many of their contempories. Its a great box set - really quality digipacks and a lovely booklet too.

Next big thing has been an Arvo Part splurge, after hearing one piece on a mixthing by Father Murphy, who were playing at The Outer Church...

Arvo Part - Symphony No 4, Tabula Rasa, Alina
Gorgeous, luminous, gentle and soothing. Just lovely.

A bunch of folky stuff:
Philip Henry & Hannah Martin - Mynd
Various - Gather in The Mushrooms
Lisa Knapp - Hidden Seam
All of these have their merits. The first one is pretty right on in, Gather In The Mushrooms is splendidly trippy, and Lisa Knapp has some endearing odd bits - like a folky Kate Bush maybe? Oh, and the lovely...
Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl

Morgan Delt - S/T
Keep listening to, and enjoying, this.

XTC - Drums and Wires
Still their best album IMO. ROads Girdle the Glode and Complicated Game are utterly epic. Not a bad track on it either - each one a pop/rock gem. Classic.

Cult of Dom Keller - The Second Bardo
Rock!

Carlton Melton - Live in Europe 2012
Rock!

Bandcamp Corner:
Yuri Gagarin - S/T
Heavy spacerock from Sweden? Oh yes. This is bloody great!
