[quote="Squid Tempest"] Magnum - On A Storytellers Night Thanks to Moon Cat for pointing me at this cheese prog metal thing. Didn't get it much at first, but thoroughly enjoying it now!" Of course, when you mean cheese, you mean a robust stilton to be consumed with a flavoursome ale? That would be very Magnum. I'm really glad you've got a little taste for the 'Num 'cos I just think they're a peculiarly British, joyous thing to be savoured. Pomp and circumstance indeed. And, considering they're crackin' on a bit, their recent albums have been fab! But yeah "Storyteller's.." is delightful!

I still can't decide if I prefer the Peel or View ... version of "Second Skin" more, but I have to say I will alway love the Peel Sessions album as it was the first Chameleons I ever heard.

Totally. With a fine port. Tis Magnum nom noms

1) Boris - New Album (that's the title) ... was given an afterhours recordshop blast of this yesterday. F****n hell. "Like Todd Rundgren's Utopia on mescaline"quoth m'shopownermate. And then some. Shoegazy praps, but a hundred times better than the likes of Ariel Pink, pees on Tame Impala too, imo. Sonically and productiony a triumph, incredible playing. Sends you dizzy with stuff relentlessly whizzing from speaker to speaker, not sure I could take 'phones. Described on net as Boris's pop album...f'in weird pop! My mate refused to sell because he only had one copy and wanted it for himself. Can understand why. Top Japness, this is. Mooncat may really appreciate, seriously, but enough to make The Black Thing swivel-eyed, if anything is. Full albums on youtube. The more volume the better....... 2) Zoobombs - Welcome Back, Zoobombs! ... Unrelenting squiffy guitary loudness and surreally bits. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's been given as a rough comparison on the net, but, like Boris, any comparisons are mangled and magnified. Once again, well done Land of Rising Sun ........ 3) A comp of Floyd stuff my muso mate has done, from Zabriskie Point, Ummagumma and More. Having the gear, and him having rubbed shoulders with the likes of Lanois, the CD's and vinyl've deconstructed and reassembled, the contents sounding better than they have ever done before. Really. Harvest have NOT made the best use of their masters. I should stress this is not, repeat not, a boot, just a private project to right something that had been long bugging him, and I'm very grateful to have been given a copy. I just hope Floyd return to the source material again before it decays - unless, like the Meddle tapes, it has already - and make a definitive job of it, because, having heard a 'compare and contrast' they clearly have not, take my word for it. Cirrus Minor is transcendent, to die to....... 4/5) Tangerine Dream - Best Of, Rubycon.......6) Edgar Froese - Solo (1974-1983)- The Virgin Years ... listening ongoing to these. Am knocked sideways by this inevitable ....... 7) Richard Thompson - Action Packed: The Best Of The Capitol Years ... RT is recording with the Electric Trio this month, follow-up to Electric and hopefully another UK tour in a few months, something to look forward to ........ 8) Robert Palmer - Sneakin Sally Through The Alley/Pressure Drop twofer...miss the guy. This number increases relentlessly : (

Squid Tempest wrote: Kate and Anna McGarrigle - Dancer With Bruised Knees Had this for years, but I didn't think it was as good as Pronto Monto which I love. Gave it another chance, and I really love it. There's something about their harmonies that plugs directly into the emotions. Why aren't their albums more readily available and properly remastered/packaged? Class. Funny you should ask that since i just got 'Tell My Sister' the 3cd compilation of their 1st 2 lps plus earlier demoes this week. Finally found it for a reasonably cheap price and had been meaning to buy it for ages. Really nice stuff anyway. So it is around for around €16 or the equivalent. Try Play.com I think that came out about 3 years ago, & has been remastered. each lp on its own disc plus a booklet with some linernotes, though not a great deal and the lyrics to the songs.

Sadly don't have funds to see Cope in Brum tonight, though on the upside, get to see Holy Sons next month. Much of this weeks listening was pretty much the same as previous weeks, except for... Deutsche Electronische Musik - Vols 1 & 2 Tangs - No Mans Land - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ktCzZnvlM Geradewohl - Roedelius - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhXq3FHlr0I A R Machines - As If I Had Seen All This Before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RfI_p51ozg Conrad Schnitzler - Fata Morgana - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOsZpja3vVI Siouxsie and the Banshees - Superstition Found this in a local 2nd hand record emporium, not as bad as the reviews of the time would have you believe. Not up there with classics like Dreamhouse, Ju Ju or Kaleidoscope, but it's an OK pop album. Softly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONVA9kM00pc Felix Kubin - Zemstra Plutona I love the crazy work of Felix Kubin. He kinda reminds me of more electronic Foetus in his various guises and approach to music. Zemstra Plutona Live - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeM-8fk8TRg Felix Kubin live at Festival BBmix 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NnWBIYNLVg Menstruation Glamour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_UJmlJ-h-s Galaxie 500 This Is Our Music. Put this on for the Yoko Ono cover, but the rest is OK in a big debt to the Velvet's kinda way. Listen The Snow Is Falling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-o3rN99pI Nurse With Wound - Chromanatron Stephen Stapleton gets access to the band 'Sand' master tapes and makes interesting new soundscapes. Neon Sardinia - S/T Versuvio Tangs - Zeit/Alpha Centuri. RIP MR Froese. Zeit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-zV0YqtAxo Alpha Centuri - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anJdF5eXxmc The Soft Moon - The Soft Moon Great modern take on the post punk genre. Looking forward to the new album out soon. Album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieWWt2jr1kk Have a good week everyone.
