It is an album I listened to death when I was 15-18 and I believed one which I would never be able to listen to again. Hearing it for the first time in well over 10 years absolutely blew me away and I fell in love with it again) Massive Attack - Protection Van Der Graaf Generator - Present Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting Spirit - The Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions of the Emerald Beyond Experiments In Silence - Hidden Harmonic Neil Young - American Stars & Bars The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You experienced?

The Zombies - Odessey & Oracle Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Genesis - Wind & Wuthering Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1 Can - Rite Time Mike Oldfield - Amarok Mike Oldfield - The Songs Of Distant Earth (hadn't really listened to his albums from this era. Was quite impressed by Amarok - a definite sequel to Ommadawn with lots of interesting details, but Songs Of Distant Earth was a disappointing wash of New Age clichés) Cosmic Jokers - Sci Fi Party Jan & Dean - Carnival Of Sound Amon Düül II - Carnival In Babylon Robin Lent - Scarecrow's Journey (knew nothing about this album but thought it looked worth trying for £3 from a car boot sale. Turns out to be yet another corking lost folk gem, with great accompaniment from none other than Thijs Van Leer and Jan Akkerman of Focus!)

Buffalo Springfield the box set disc with the 2 lps on. This has been sitting at the bottom of a box since I moved into this flat several years ago until I had to tidy up for a landlord inspection. Great find and definitely something I should be far more familiar with. There seem to be a lot of semi off-kilter elements in the sound. Guitars playing at tempos that other bands wouldn't have tried to incorporate and things. Gives things a really psychedelic edge. Also interesting to hear influences from soul & jazz etc when I think the main non standard influence was thought of as country. But great great music of its time. & needs to be heard as do the live sets that appeared in the wake of the box set but should have been included. not listened through the box set in ages so not sure about duplication of material but I do think there was a lot of talk of misused space and lack of inclusion of things like the long take on Bluebird. Those live sets are pretty jawdropping in places including a 12 minute Bluebird with a great guitar duel. Yum yum. Ann Peebles complete Hi Recordings vol 1 disc 2 This is the lps Straight From the Heart and I Can't Stand The Rain plus bonus. Great funky southern soul including a great version of Bobby Bland's I Pity the Fool a song that I originally heard in the mid 60s David Bowie version which keeps coming to mind, not sure where that mod stuff he recorded can be found. Also the title track of I Can't stand the Rain is very memorable, has what might be a bit of a gimmicky motif in other hands but just sounds classic by Peebles as does I'm Going TO tear Your Play House down and most of the rest of this cd. I had the 1st disc on before this which has been on my 3-changer all week and that starts with what sounds like an uncanny impression of Smokey Robinson which is pretty surprising since I thought Peebles was pretty much her own singer. Jack Ruby Hit & Run Compilation of unreleased mid 70s recordings by a proto No Wave band that were active live at the same time that Television were making their name on pretty much the same NYC scene. This has some great rock riffing that sounds very Detroit-y but seems to have several different things happening at the same time which may be why it had the No Wave connections. Think this may be a bit of an acquired taste but it does have some great moments. Lovely dunt. Haven't heard the 2nd electronic based disc yet. Must do soon. Anthroprophh LOng soundscapes that is pretty krautrocky. Must hear the lp. THis is the band that is an offshoot of the Heads as I guess most of you will know. There is some electric guitar noise but it's more atmospheric and less in your face than The Heads' dunt. Pretty great anyway. I see that the tracks here are present on the band's lp in versions about 1/3 as long. Need to hear that lp. Krautrock Music For Your Brain Massive amount of various artists krautrock including some stuff I hadn't heard before. Hadn't realised that there was so much on/of these sets, 5 different volumes, each of 6 discs. Mostly pretty good though it does go later than I probably would have. Also not strictly German including the normal Swiss etc related stuff to some degree. Been listening to about a disc a day recently. Larry Coryell Spaces I'm just reading Bathing In Lightning the Colin Harper John Mclaughlin bio which is pretty great. I've got as far as reading about this which coincides pretty much exactly with Mclaughlin's introduction to Sri Chimnoy which actually stemmed from him being present at this session I think since it came out of another attendee of the session inviting him to come along when they drove up to see the Guru. Anyway great lp with Coryell and Mclaughlin as the frontline on a set that touches on bebop and things that might later be thought of as fusion. Would love to hear the tracks that Harper talks about being recorded on the first day and were thought too far out for inclusion on the released lp Lots of Sun Ra it would have been Herman Blount's 100th birthday some days ago which means that people have been upping a lot of live sets in celebration. Lots of other stuff which I'll probably think of later. Watching X-Men days Of Future Past. OK return to the good bits of the franchise which I haven't really thought a great deal of since II. Though the 2nd Wolverine was pretty decent. Anyway, enjoyable film though not the greatest ever. Orange is the new Black started watching the 2nd season. Was interested to see that everything was released at the same time, I guess they know their audience who tend to watch series in a non 1 episode per week manner. Been enjoying this programme at least the first series which I watched some months ago. Reading Bathing In Lightning Colin Harper Harper's usual standard of writing which is pretty good. Unfortunately doesn't look like he had access to interviewing Mclaughlin though he's quoting some old ones. He has interviewed several contemporaries of him from the 60s etc. This gives a good background on the scenes Mclaughlin passed through in the same manner as Harper's Dazzling Stranger did with Bert Jansch and the Edinburgh and London folk scenes. I've wondered what the story was with Mclaughlin in the 60s since hearing he had connections to Graham Bond and Brian Auger before either recorded. He was also with the Night-Timers in both Ronnie Jones and Herbie Goins eras, Duffy Power and doing a lot of session playing though stuck as a rhythm player. I'd recommend this book to anybody interested in Mclaughlin. Must read some of the other books on him too. Stephen Donaldson The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever Omnibus picked this up as part of a 4 books for €1.50 deal in a charity shop and finding it very readable. I started reading the book I'm currently reading 24 years ago when I was in Belfast and didn't get very far. So hoping i get further. May be buying too many books from charity shops again. Wish I'd got the bookshelf I was looking at when the landlord wanted to do the inspection. Thought she might try announcing that I needed to clear my corridor for whatever facetious reason so put it off and now the unit's been discontinued. OPtical Sounds latest edition which came out last month but I only got this week. Got the usual psychedelic/drone stuff covered ad very readable. Recommended. Other than that been taking way too long to upcycle a pair of curtains into a western style frockcoat which has come out looking very nice but needs finishing. Needs hemming, seam finishing and possibly seam redoing since I had trouble with machine tension. Also did the body of a cavalry shirt which still needs a bib front added. Next project is designing a pair of jeans from a basic outline in a pattern cutting book I have since the pair I cut a month or so back has too large a waistband which is pretty baggy. Stevo

Must be the smallest range of albums I've listened to in a week in ages! Ambarchi, O'Malley and Dunn - Shade themes from Kairos: This grows and grows on me. Seems to touch me more emotionally on each new listen and more and more emerges. And as I've said in previous weeks - a stunning gatefold. Datashock - Keine Oase in Sicht. Has worked v well on my morning commute this week (80 mins - more or less the length of the album!). Perfect for warm, sunny early mornings. Ai Aso - Alone. Sparse and beautiful. And that would have been it but Aluk Todolo's Finsternis arrived on Saturday. I'd ordered it from them late April but they'd forgotten to send it! So it was like getting a free new album... and there was a nice apologetic note. Loving this - it's somewhere in the venn diagram where ritual, black metal and krautrock meet I suppose.

Bitch Magnet – Umber. Blind Idiot God – s/t. Breaking Circus – The Ice Machine. Chrome – Half Machine From The Sun. King Crimson – USA. Motorpsycho – Behind the Sun. Hedvig Mollestad – Enfant Terrible. Legion of Two – Riffs. Nice Strong Arm – Reality bath. Silo – Work. Smoke Fairies – s/t. Squirrel Bait – s/t. Various – Wayfaring Strangers. Various – Wailing Ultimate, Human Music. Stian Westerhaus & Pale Horses – Maelstrom. Spent 4 hours yesterday refereeing under 11’s football in a knockout competition. This after getting home from work at 3am, getting up at 8am and steering my own under 8’s to 4th place in their own knockout competition (out of 12 mind - they ain't shit) . Forgive me if I add colour to the above later. I’m knackered.

Rannoch - Between Two Worlds Rainbow - Difficult to Cure Bat For Lashes - The Haunted Man The Phantom Band - Strange Friend Tuung - Good Arrow Kula Shaker - K Band of Skulls - Himalayan Provincials - Muhzik. Out now as they say. White Bone Rattle - Earwig (mini album) I really enjoyed their debut, "Creature of Curiosity", being a fine slice of 70's style psyche tinged rock, with nods to stuff like Wishbone Ash, so I was pleased to see something new on their bandcamp site. This is in a similar vein with slightly more emphasis on a garagey, psyche vibe. Available as a pay what you like download. Orchestra of Spheres - Nonagonic Now Alphonse Murzon - Mind Transplant. Fusiontastic! Manic Street Preachers - Postcards from a Young Man Damon Albarn & Friends - Mali Music Sudden Death of Stars - All Unrevealed Parts of the Unknown. Have nice week x
