Various odds and sods from This is the Kit, including Resonance FM Sessions. Now listening to Bashed Out, their latest album 2nd Disc of Floored Genius 2 Edgar Broughton Band - Sing Brother Sing. This didn't provide the perfect accompaniment to an unpleasant finger cutting incident, I have to say. Sounded great the day after though Killing Joke - S/T, What's This For, Night time Jamiroquai - Emergency on Planet Earth. I have felt a need to justify this in the past. After all JK is a 24 carat twit and his lyrics aren't the best; the musicianship is quite good though I think.

Been busy with work and travelling, so not so much listening done this week: Gnod - Infinity Machines Bobbie Gentry - Best of... I was prompted to investigate Bobbie Gentry a bit further as a result of the recent Reginald Hunter documentary on the music of the American South. Ode to Billie Joe is a truly remarkable song. Some other good track as well. Neil Young - Chrome Dreams 2 bootleg of Boise, Idaho Oct 2007 show. Downloaded from BigO ages ago, I think. Relapse Records: 25 Years of Contamination A massive compilation available as a pay what you like download from Bandcamp, bit of a mixed bag but some good stuff if you're into metal - Death, Obituary, Pentagram, Godflesh, and loads I've never heard before. https://relapsesampler.bandcamp.com/album/relapse-records-25-years-of-contamination Peter Kruder Live Pink Floyd Mix. No idea where I got this from, but quite a nice, hour long mix of classic-era Pink Floyd by Herr Kruder. Haikai No Ku - Demo (I) At War

Gnod - Infinity Machines. Deep and spacey, initial favourite of this triple vinyl set is the middle one, but side 5 is growing on me more on repeat listens. And just what you need when you have a new triple Gnod LP to digest is a new Gnod album... Gnod - Gestalt. Hot off the press release on Tesla Tapes picked up at their Cafe Oto gig last night. A 50 min ambient, drone piece from an installation at Islington Mill - bowed bass, guitar and a couple of synthesizers. Great photos and artwork too. Really enjoyed first listen. 11 Paranoias - Stealing Fire from Heaven. The Necks - Open The Necks - Athenaeum. Saw them at the Gateshead jazz festival last weekend and picked up a live box set and not got past the first cd Athenaeum. Lovely. Psychic TV - Dreams Less Sweat. Vinyl reissue of the 1980s album. Bought from a recent Cold Spring sale - rather like it.

Vinyl: Gnod - Infinity Machines Haven't had enough time to digest this, but initial impression is great! Electric Wizard - Time to Die Heavy and riffy as you'd expect, splendid! The Heads - Nobody Knows My other RSD purchase. Initially a tad disappointing - some very poor quality recording on a couple here. Still, there's good stuff too. Cranium Pie - Mechanisms Part 2 Weird and wonderful. Kind of krauty Floyd sound. Very enjoyable. CDs: The Holydrug Couple - Noctuary Terry Riley - Shri Camel Sun Ra - Space is the Place Steve Hackett - Wolflight This is bloody brilliant! Far better than I'd hoped, great songs, fine performances. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing This is really growing on me. The Enid - In The Region of Summer Stars John Martyn - Solid Air Japan - Tin Drum David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees

New: Young Fathers – White Men Are Black Men Too. Forgot to mention this last week, gave it another listen today. OK, so the pat/borderline offensive take on these guys is that they’re the new Massive Attack, mainly by dint of the fact that there’s two black guys and one white guy, and they’re making hip hop that isn’t really hip hop. In fact, they’re Really Not making hip hop (practically no rapping for a start), but they sound very little like MA either. They have instead a Sound Of Their Own, something of a rarity these days. It’s not especially challenging, but neither is it in any way ingratiating – it wants you to meet it on its own terms. Probably less mainstream crossover potential than MA (despite the Mercury Prize), but I can imagine a lot of rock/non-hip hop liking people really liking this – there’s a definite Krautish post-punk vibe going on here. After a couple of listens, I remain intrigued, and there’s plenty of stand-out tracks, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4D5Zn4qgPs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REEPJp_GvAQ Young Knives – Something Awful EP / Sick Octave. RSD EP, three new tracks plus the brilliant title track (which is from their last album Sick Octave), a rockingly strange amalgam of Kraftwerk, King Crimson and PiL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lIVLgqh-0g The other tracks suggest a band going in a decidedly darker, weirder direction. Clearly flagged on Sick Octave itself, even if they’re sometimes in need of an editor. William D Drake – Revere Reach. Bloke who used to play keyboards in the Cardiacs. Similarly eccentric English vibe to Young Knives, but sonically more in line with Michael Nyman/VDGG/Hammill/early Genesis/narrative folk ballads. Interesting. Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress. Ditto last week, a lot of faff but some stunning passages of orch rock heaviosity too. Random access: Sleater-Kinney – The Woods. Mentioned to a friend that I’d never really heard any SK, and this arrived in my inbox. I can understand why a lot of people love ‘em, but feel like they may be retrospectively difficult to really get into. Sludgy production doesn’t help, great howling voice though. The Wyrding Module – Mellifluous Ichor From Sunless Regions. Occult/hauntological/drone/ritual ambient, but not as enervating/boring as a lot of such stuff can be. In fact, there’s a nice post-punk vibe in places: http://www.upitup.com/catalogue/sharemp3.php?cat_id=62&trk_id=563 Jane Weaver – ‘Don’t Take My Soul’. Video edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKj7CoGFGYE JW looks nice if a bit bemused. She’s got a companion album to The Silver Globe coming out called The Amber Light, which has various extra tracks and remixes, and sounds pretty good having briefly skimmed it on Spotify. Definitely one for Broadcast fans too.
