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.
