Good stuff, glad you like! There's some great stuff on the LTM label, although I'd challenge anyone to like all of it. http://ltmrecordings.com/avant-garde_art.html Have you heard anything by Nils Frahm? https://youtu.be/OSbuGCYNMPE

A fun chunk of riffery. I tend to agree with Machineryelf's take on this. The new "Highgrowspliffics" ep is their best yet I'd say. I'm looking forward to giving that an ear through next week :) You can't argue with a song called "Buried in Leather"

Squid Tempest wrote: [quote="Moon Cat"]White Hills - Walks For Motorists. Wow, really good. Tinkering with their space rock thang and taking it to other places. There's hints of goth and post punk in there - even icy and skeletal Magazine type moments - and lots of rumbling bass to go with the space riffing and Krauty synths. I like a lot! Is the White Hills album out already??? Coo, looking forward to hearing that. I managed to sniff a super sexy early sniff CD in one of my promo/second hand places quite by chance. It's really very good indeed. I like the sleeve pics too. On the right side of cheesy.

Yeah, hear him from time to time on 6 music. Mary Anne Hobbes really rates him. Don't mind him - that video was fab, which led me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itErRn4T2no Which reminded me a little of Robert Miles too.

1) Kapt. Kopter and the Fabulous Twirly Birds - KFPK Radio LA 13 September 1972 ... saddened that Randy and Ed are gone, happy that this exists. Whatever the sonic faults, they are not musical ones. Top playing. Made me smile....... 2) Frank Zappa - Puttin On The Ritz ... a fair bit of the Black Page Symphony fanbootcomp I've rhapsodised about here originates from this 2CD, where it is reproduced in better quality. Another semi - legal release of FM concert, FZ and band stellar ...... 3) John Martyn - Sunday's Child expanded ed. ...... 4) Lee Perry - Sipple Out Deh: the JA remixes ....... 5) Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night ........ 6) Caravan and The New Symphonia - The Complete Concert ... evrryone shines, particularily Richard Coughlan.

Stayed at my bros near the Biggin Hill lair of someone here last w/e. Bare trees down south still, bloody cold. Meh, to coin a phrase. The parakeets didn't mind ....... 12) Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Hammersmith 1976 ... memories ....... 13) The Orb - Ultra Rare Trax ....... 14) The Orb - U.F.Off: The Best Of ..........

New: Goran Kajfes Subtropic Arkestra – The Reason Why Vol 2. This is very nice, muscular exotic jazz that veers between Budos Band-esque tough funk and library music prettiness: https://soundcloud.com/headspinrec/dokuz-seki-esmerim-by-goran-kajfes-subtropic-arkestra Enablers – The Rightful Pivot. Also decent, spoken word plus melodic post/math rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUj7FoetcrQ Follakzoid – III. Ok, wacked the volume up on this, and it’s working a lot better now ;-) Tender Prey – Organ Calzone And elsewhere… Hawkwind – s/t / Xin Search Of Space / Greasy Truckers Party. So, the ludicrously cheap This Is Your Captain Speaking… box set arrived, prompting me to go through the albums in order. If I’m honest, Hawkwind really starts for me at Space Ritual, so it was interesting to re-visit their initial releases. Particularly on the debut, you can hear them hinting at the classic sound, sometimes quite strongly, but the absence of factor X makes much of the material pretty forgettable, though ‘Mirror of Illusion’ is a great piece of cosmic folk rock. The version of ‘You Shouldn’t Do That’ on XSOS is much stronger than I remember too. GTP is a great recording, with ‘YSDT’ probably the best thing on it, but this still feels like a warm-up for the main act that is SR. Six Organs of Admittance – Hexadic. Had another go with this. Some pretty cool stuff, but much of it is frankly bobbins. Smoke Fairies – Ghosts Melanie De Biasio – No Deal. Just magnificent. In no way a stretch to compare her to Mark Hollis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scrOGy5Xtpw The Holy Mountain OST. Article in current Shindig by Jonny Trunk going on about this finally getting a vinyl release. Sounded amazing, but the reality didn’t match the hype for me (though I haven’t seen the film, which I’m sure makes a big difference). This is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWhWrJJisL8 , but totally unrepresentative of the rest of the soundtrack, which mostly consists of schmaltzy orchestral pieces and ethnographic forgeries.
