Hello.
Dans Dans – 3. Instrumental trio from Belgium making tense, minimal and suspenseful little movies out of sound. Proper grown up stuff. Jazz reaching back out to the masses. Wonderful.

Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band – Intensity Ghost. A credible return of the twin guitar attack. A credible return of an un-ironic rock sound. Old school-ish but sounds fresh to these ears. No vocalist to spoil things, plenty of surprisingly hypnotic moments. Gets better every time I listen.

Paus – Clarao. Portuguese ex punks make music referencing Tropicália and Radiohead. Much, much better than I am making it sound.

Taman Shud – Viper Smoke. Occult fuelled psychedelic punk. Comparisons to The Walking Seeds are fair. Really, really good.

And loads of old Hawkwind (Quark and PXR5 being the current variety).

Tangerine Dream and C.O.B. For obvious reasons (what were once annual reminders of my own mortality are creeping toward the daily. The selfish bastards. And there are so many of them! Think of all the people that make up your cultural identity and how many are in their seventies... Its going to get pretty monotonous and a little depressing. I vote for a deathwatch blackout.).

And The Fall Peel Sessions (the last three disks) which really are an endless source of joy for me.
