Hardly any music listened to this week, been outdoors a lot.

But I have listened to Lonelady's new album Hinterland a lot. Really liking this, the overall sound recalls very early (81-82) New Order, nice echo on crisp beats, crystalline synth lines and propulsive guitar. In places it recalls ACR, Talking Heads and the spindly guitar of the Bauhaus of "Terror Couple Kill Colonel". Really good.

Otherwise:

The Lowland Hundred - Under Cambrian Skies
Perfect soundtrack to a week on the Ceredigion coast.

Kula Shaker - Pigs Peasants and Astronauts

Jamiroquai - Return of the Space Cowboy

Damien Jurado - Ghost of David. Listened to a few DJ albums, but none have been as enjoyable as this one. Having a female vocalist and bits of piano help it along.

Kosmicheboy - Clockwerk. Great 'blockrocking' big beats.

Faith No More - Angel Dust. It would appear that I'm in a minority here as to not particularly rating it. It is not awful, but I have no strong attachment towards it.

Young Fathers - White men are black men too. Not bad on first listen

This is the Kit - Bashed out

(Relatively) new stuff:

Gnod - Infinity Machines: Just gets better and better with more listens. Magnificent.
Gnod - Gestalt: Lovely, live recorded drone.
Aufklarung - Zeit der Aufklarung: Mainly guitar and piano lo-fi recording in a Yorkshire church. Popul Vuh-like. Gorgeous. By coincidence it features AP Macarte also on the Gnod Gestalt cd.
Watch Repair - The Tidal Path: Mainly ambient acoustic guitar ramblings. Lovely and beautifully DIY packaged CD-R.
Inutili - Music to Watch the Clouds on a Sunny Day. Two lo-fi psych jams, recording quality on a par with Les Ralizes Denudes. Result.
The Necks - Atheneaum: Just lovely - yes there are three other live disks in the box set but can't get beyond this at the moment.

From the archives:

Pylar - Poderoso Se Alza en My. Ritual metal perhaps, trying to think of how to describe it? One of my favourite releases from a couple of years ago. Absolutely love it, but lots of weird chanting in Spanish so not sure I'd recommend it to everybody. But for fans of ritual, drone weirdness and Orthodox (this is an offshoot) it's a must. Listened to in celebration of news of the follow up and Orthodox playing in London (not seen them live yet).
Bong - Mana Yood Sushai: Again another listen at news of a new album in late May.
Julian Cope - Revolutionary Suicide. Listened to in response to the generally negative thread about his recent work. As it happened, it was the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide too. I find it interesting that the best comments I've read about this track were from an Armenian film maker. I can totally understand why people may not like Cope's recent work (a 15 minute repetitive dirge about an atrocity is not likely to be everyone's cup of tea) but to suggest somehow his heart isn't in it is absurd.

Can't think of anything else...

Wire live in Hebden Bridge Friday night passing through so decided to see Wire.good choice amazingly good live picked up a copy of the latest cd which sounds completely different but equally good also got a copy of the Scottish Play which I haven't had a chance to listen to yet

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Yes - Going For The One
Steve Hackett - Wolflight

Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beast
Really enjoyed this, I wasn't that impressed with it when I heard it before.

White Hills - Walks For Motorists
This is SOOO good. Possibly their best album, and I love everything they've done. Bloody brilliant.

Vinyl:

11 Paranoias - Stealing Fire From Heaven

I agree with Riverman, this is a total cracker.

Electric Wizard - Time To Die
Heavy, riffin and a stormer.
