Jane Weaver – The Silver Globe / Cherlokalate. Silver Globe is great, like a space rock version of Broadcast. Cherlokalate is one of her earlier albums, nice in an alt-singer-songwriter way, but shows how far she’s come.

Goat – Commune. What exactly is my problem with this band? Stuck it on in the car, and it undeniably sounds great, and yet… I think maybe it’s the shrieky, crazy mama singing that does my head in a bit. And maybe the bongos. Still, featured in The Guardian’s Guide this week, so sure to be providing the vibes at plenty of future north London dinner parties.

Dans Dans – I/II. Occasionally (very occasionally), you accidentally click on something on YouTube or Spotify and find something that’s actually quite cool… Dans Dans are a Belgian band that do instrumental jazz/rock covers in the style of twangy guitar maestro Gabor Szabo. Nice. Have a listen: https://soundcloud.com/undayrecords/dans-dans-gazelle/sets

Unwound – Repetition / Live in Reykjavik 1999. Fantastic second gen post-hardcore band who I just about completely missed while they were going, kind of a Sonic Youth meets Fugazi vibe.

Underworld – Dubnobasswithmyheadman. Inspired to listen to this again by a feature in this month’s Mojo (which also has a cover feature on Siouxie & the Banshees, and praise the metal gods, a piece on t’Priest! Last few issues have been a great improvement on the dull dogshit they were writing about at the start of the year). Really enjoyed it, in fact perhaps more so than in 1994.

Fire! Orchestra – Enter. Two thirds jazz skronk faff to one third jazz skronk nice, but when it’s good, it’s very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbrR9JVeSgM

Talk Talk – Spirit Of Eden. This album never fails to astound me.

Retribution Gospel Choir – 3. And this is also still sounding bloody amazing. Seriously, if Neil Young at both his heaviest and most cosmic is your thing, this’ll blow your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCdsDFteG4k

Snowman – Absence. Shoegazey techno-pagan oddness. Cranes/Slowdive/These New Puritans fans may like very much.

Jethro Tull – A Passion Play.

Midday Veil – The Current.

Jordan de la Sierra – ‘Music for Gymnastics’. From upcoming archival release. Mid-70s missing link between Eno and Philip Glass.

Heldon – various tracks. Been trying to get into their stuff, but there’s surprisingly little on YouTube and nothing on Spotify. Stuff I have heard is alright, but very derivative of Tangerine Dream, Fripp etc. Is Interface worth getting hold of?
