Main repeats this week for:

Keith Hudson - Torch of Freedom
Which arrived on the day IanB posted about Keith Hudson, with uncanny synchronicity. Hudson's voice is always something of a challenge and in this set the lyrical content is oddly lightweight. Basically mostly short love songs coupled with instrumental versions, none of which stray enormously far from the originals. Not earth-shattering in all honesty, but worthwhile enough. Nice to finally get the original version of "Turn The Heater On" as covered by New Order.

The Wake - A Light Far Out
2012 reunion album and I reckon it's the best they've ever done. Melodic indie pop, like they used to make in late 80s. It's hardly left the stereo this week.

Otherwise:

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Madness - "The Prince" and "One Step Beyond" 7" singles

Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever
Billy Bragg - Brewing Up With ...
Billy Bragg - Between The Wars EP
The Smiths - The World Won't Listen
New Order - Substance 1987

The Darling Buds - "Sure Thing" CD single
Kristin Hersh - "Your Ghost" EP

Julian Plenti - Is ... Skyscraper

Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Live from KCRW
Morrissey - World Peace Is None Of Your Business
The Juan Maclean - In A Dream
V/A - The Nightingale Variations (this is mostly lovely): http://music.kookydisc.co.uk/2014/10/nightingale-variations-kookydisc-37.html
Vesuvio - Vesuvio
