Smoke Fairies – Ghosts / s/t. Collection of early singles confirms a sublime talent from early on, new album is slightly more (gulp) modern-sounding, but a real grower… Motorpsycho – Behind the Sun. As is this. Great track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8bQcfi-Dww Bushman’s Revenge – A Little Bit of Big Bonanza. Working my way through the back catalogue of this heavy/jazz/prog instro power trio, fantastic stuff, which put me in mind of… Blind Idiot God – s/t. My favourite heavy/jazz/prog (oh, and dub) instro power trio album. Sounded incredible in 1987, still does today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=781PPNfALfw Gore – The Cruel Peace. Thinking about and playing instro power trios inevitably leads to Gore. This is their third, featuring four extended pieces which are compositionally a lot more complex than the primitive but effective hardcore/metal bludgeon of their first two. Never heard Gore? Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ7AHeLeIBk Alrune Rod – Hej Du. Flagged by Mr Wolfe following his Danish trip, and then reading JC’s glowing write-up, thought I’d check it out. Hmmm, it really is pretty generic, though side two has some nice spacey moments. In terms of Dansk rock, I’d go for Ache: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA1GhaLtSJU JJ Burnel – Euroman Cometh. He’s been doing a lot of interviews lately, so I thought I’d give this a listen. Quite an interesting post-punk/prog/proto electronica sound, title track is great. Judas Priest – Stained Class. I guess this is just about the starting point of post-70s metal (or the NWOBHM, if nothing else), but it sounds surprisingly weedy compared to the mighty Sin After Sin which it follows. Matt Baldwin – Imaginary Psychology Bly de Blyant – Hindsight Bias Listen With Father: Add N to X – “Ann’s Everyday Equestrian”. Five year old says, do you have any music with a horse on it? Why, yes indeed: http://www.musiqueapproximative.net/post/add-n-to-x-09-ann-s-everyday-equestrian She accurately described it as sounding like someone on horseback being chased by aliens. King Tubby – Dub Gone Crazy. Dub is excellent child-calming music. Bohren und Der Club of Gore – Black Earth. The acme of uneasy listening. And yes, they took their name, if not their musical direction, from the aforementioned Gore.

NP Bunny and the Bull - Original Soundtrack. Still haven't seen the film, but at least the soundtrack has brought pleasing returns. There's a Mighty Boosh connection too - same director i think. Has a kinda gypsy circussy feel to it Six Organs of Admittance - Dark Noontide. Might just be their best - i know there's a few to choose from... like School of the Flower which I also listened to Swans - The Seer Joanna Newsom - Have one on me. A timely reminder that I used to think she was great after going off her 2nd album. Gnarls Barkley - The odd couple. Overlooked follow up to the success of St Elsewhere. Some great production Boombip - Corey MB Dan Auerbach - Keep it hid Ashra Tempel - Schwingungen Akron/Family - Not as good as last weeks S/T, but still worthy Cosmic Jokers - S/T

Moon Cat wrote: Holy Mountain - Ancient Astronauts. Not got the previous album, but this is fine slab of psyche tinged stoner doom and rock. Not got this yet, but i'd highly recomend the first LP, Earth Measures. Great live too.

Ministry of Wolves- Music from Republic Der Wolfe Black Sabbath- Master of Reality Butthole Surfers- Locust Abortion Technician Hairway to Steven Pioughd 1988 Peel session The Jackofficers- Digital Dump (this Buttholes electronic side project from 1990 has aged really well I think. Entirely drum machine and samples, it mixes Coil and Throbbing Gristle influences with the commercial dance and hip-hop of the day) Lonnie Donegan- Puttin' On the Style (1977 album in which Lonnie revisits his back catalog with various all-star backing bands- Rory Gallagher, Ringo Starr, Albert Lee, Ron Wood, Brian May, Nicky Hopkins, Elton John and, er, Leo Sayer on harmonica. Enormous fun). T-Rex- Teenage Dream (Pickwick ragbag comp of later singles and b-sides). Toy- Join the Dots Coconut Grove- How To Build A Maze The Full Ugly- Spent the Afternoon Golden Retriever- Seer Guardian Alien- Spiritual Emergency Nightingales- For Fuck's Sake Automat- S/T The Soft Moon- Zeroes Loop- 1988 Peel Session Live Skull- 1988 Peel Session (both on the same tape as the Buttholes one from earlier) Robyn Hitchcock- Black Snake Diamond Role

Well I fibbed when I said I was gonna peruse Copes back catalogue after final Druidon, [sniff :( maybe next week]. This week has been... Gruff Rhys - Candylion Found in Cancer Research for a pound. Bargain! Played t about a dozen ties already. Feckin' amazing effort from messer Rhys, esp love the uber catchy Gyrru Gyrru Gyrru (S'Welsh for Driving apparently) and 14 minute homage to the sci-fi needle at the Festival of Britain that was Skylon. Hotel Shampoo any good? cos' it's going on the list regardless. Appliance - Imperial Metric I've managed to overlook this belter of a record for years in favour of the more motorik and accessible 'Are You Earthed?. Been sitting gathering dust pretty much since I bought it when it came out. Maybe cos' it has a slightly more downbeat, introverted nature compared to it's favoured twin. Now gladly remedied, as I've been playing it to death, s'great! Bill Callahan - Have Fun With God (In Dub) Kinda works. His voice lends itself well to this kinda quasi dub vibe. Not everything is great, 'bout 80% successful. Stranglers - The Raven/ La Folie Was looking for Feline, but all I could find in the shelves was this twofer CD edition. Enjoyed The Raven (first two tracks would fit nicely with the cracking Vikings series showing on History/Lovefilm). Don't think I'd ever heard La Folie all the way through (except for the outstanding single Golden Brown). Overall impression. First few tracks were OK, then it all went a bit meh! Need to find Feline, Much prefer it. Magazine - Play / Live and Intermittent Remember buying 'Intermittent' at the Manchester gig several years ago. Played it once, then thought I'd got stung. Listening back t'other night, once the first few ropey recordings were over, it got mighty fine! inna lofi bootleg stylee. A pal of mine said that the remastered play (the 2 disc edition) had lost the 'audiency/live' feel of the original version, so thought I's put it to the test, and blow me if he ain't right. Some tracks seem to be edited for audience'reaction, can't remember which song off the top of my head, but it's a good coupla minutes shorter. Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Sustain Decay Release RMX Dunno why I have this, think a friend said I ought to like them, he seemed to think as I liked Tarwater and Stereolab, these fell somewhere in between. WRONG!. This seems to me like generic house music on the whole. Yes, I know this is a remix album etc (Chrome Hoof and Oscillation mixes seem OK), but it's all a bit by the numbers for me. Stuff I've heard on you tube doesn't sound that different either. Never mind...off to the charity shop with it Was reading on 'fan' board about the latest bunch of Stones remasters. Was gonna re-buy sticky fingers as a birthday gift to myself (47 years old today folks if anyones bothered) as I thought my old Virgin remaster was getting a little battered. Turns out, popular opinion says that sound quality in terms of how the Stones wanted to album to sound lies with the version I have. Supposedly it's better than the newer tweek in sounding closer to original vinyl. Guess it's off to computer exchange to get the disc polished instead then, just so it stops bloody skipping on the odd track. Fever Ray - Memories from When I Grew Up (Subliminal Kid Remix) Still loving this 20 odd minute slo mo creepy epic. That's about it. Keep well and enjoy the fine weather whilst it lasts.

"Hotel Shampoo" is really good. (Love Candylion too - Skylon is indeed amazing) Gruff Rhys is a real talent I reckon.
