Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Not too much this week:


Qa'a - Sang. This was Cope's last vinyl of the month. Was in touch with them a few years back when they played a gig in London and wanted to check this out but the triple vinyl postage was putting me off at the time. But Victor emailed me the other day with a link to the bandcamp page so listened and was hooked. It's a vast record but Victor explained each of the 6 sides were designed to stand alone or be played in any order. The obvious reference point is Tago Mago in that there are electronic noise pieces interspersed with repetitive, catchier guitar led tracks - and it all has a ritual feel to it. My favourite tracks so far are Retorn Etern, Ascencio, Vermell Profund and No t'aturis mai. Check out the bandcamp here:
