Tried out Faith No More's Sol Invictus a few times. Got some good songs on it, my fav being motherfucker. But is it better than that other great motherfucker derivation, like a motherfucker? That's another question Pharoah Overlord - The battle of the Axehammer (live). A new discovery of mine. Om have a lot to answer for.Maybe. Good stuff as it goes Stockholm Monsters - Alma Mater Plus. Needs more listens, but not against the idea Cranium Pie - Mechanisms Part 2. Heard a bit of this on the way home from a folk triple bill in Truro (Lau, Spiros and Siobhan Wilson)and was blown away by what I heard! Godshaker compilation John Martyn - Solid Air, Glorious Fool Phil Manzenera - Diamond Head

New: Urthona – Hearing Secret Harmonies. Thanks to CitizenSmurf for flagging this, anything describing itself as ‘heavy rural’ has to be worth a listen, and indeed it was. I don’t usually have too much time for improv/ambient/drone stuff, as there’s already more such releases on Bandcamp etc than there are stars in the galaxy, but this did have that special something – particular guitar tone, progressions etc Mutoid Man – Bleeder. 80s/90s-inflected progish metal, some of which reminded me quite strongly of The Beyond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbUbJNuJmLc, who were excellent, but nobody bought their records… Landshapes – Heyoon. Another 80s/90s throwback, this time to Throwing Muses era 4AD – as such, it’s unsurprising they’re on Bella Union. Pretty cool, I may well have loved them 25 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muno5h8WOWs Liberez – All Tense Now Lax. Eek, experimental music ahoy, but again, harking back to an era when ‘experimental’ meant challenging, but not completely unlistenable. Scratchy strings Vs melodic piano, kind of arty industrial. Ben Chatwin – The Sleeper Awakes. Soundtracky stuff, tasteful but not dull. Mogwai/Piano Magic fans will enjoy. VA – Cherrystones: Critical Mass. Actual 80s stuff, of an obscure post-punk bent. Couple of tracks of particular interest – Rizzo (sounds as NY punk as you like, but actually ex-members of German group Jane): https://soundcloud.com/touchsensitiverecords/rizzo-i-dont-care and Chandra (super snotty vocal delivered by 12 year old, with hilarious/sinister lyrics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HtP7sy8pWs Archive: Forest Swords – Engravings. Liked this a lot more on revisiting, first few tracks are especially excellent, like a dubby DJ Shadow, but the best is left til last: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7qbpFUabN0 Motorpsycho – The Death-Defying Unicorn. Also got more out of this on returning. Inevitably a bit sprawly, but there’s some fantastic Crimson-esque skronk in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfXr8L-iA78 Black Sabbath – Sabotage / Technical Ecstasy / ‘Country Girl’. The transition from Sabotage to TE is fascinating in its own way, like a band suddenly and almost completely bottling it (though the signs were clearly there on the former). I’m pretty traditionalist in that Sabbath can only really be Sabbath with Ozzy, but ‘Country Girl’ with Dio does have a tremendous riff. Radio 2 Prog prog with Tony Banks, who always reminds me of Prince Charles for some reason, coming over as he does like an aggrieved member of the Royal Family. Played a lot of ‘Supper’s Ready’ – still shit after all these years, and TB seems to conveniently forget that VDGG had already done a similarly interlinked song suite the previous year with ‘A Plague…’, which it goes without saying was also far superior. Live: Gwenno/Tender Prey – The Social, London. TP, who on album is essentially Laura Bryon, turned into a proper power trio live, and pretty rocking they were too. Gwenno did her Welsh space lady thing again, with added sarky commentary between songs. Have just discovered she used to be in the Pipettes, which meant nothing to me, but they apparently had a couple of minor hits a few years back.

Fairport Convention - Liege & Lief Spirogyra - Bells, Boots & Shambles Performance - OST Del Shannon - Home & Away Del Shannon - Drop Down & Get Me Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Popol Vuh - Sei Still, Wisse ICH BIN (had only played this once before and it hadn't really done much for me. Gave it another go, and was wondering why Florian Fricke had decided to do something so dirgey. Then as it got towards the end of the first side I hit the speed button to see if I preferred it at 45RPM. And suddenly it sounded like Popol Vuh rather than a poor man's Sunn O)))! Looked at the sleeve and it does say '45RPM Stereo'. Very odd. It's now up there with the classics, especially as it is pretty much a collaboration with members of Amon Düül II and Klaus Schulze, with a bloody great choir on top! Bits of it turned up again in the following...) Popol Vuh - Fitzcarraldo OST (Popol Vuh mixed in with field recordings and flashbacks to Caruso. An odd mix, but a great movie). Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets Simple Minds - Empires & Dance Simple Minds - Sons & Fascination Simple Minds - Sister Feelings Call Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (this is where Simple Minds just got better with each release. I generally find them less interesting from this point onwards, although they still had there moments). Can - Future Days (Perhaps influenced by Cope's negative review of this album, it took me a long time to really appreciate it, but I love it now). OMD - Sugar Tax Amon Düül II - Tanz Der Lemminge (Such an odd, unfocused LP this, but it makes for an occasionally rewarding listen). The Monkees - The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees

Damn insomnia means I'm up at weird times of night at the mo, not done this for a while, so here goes.... The Liminanas - Down Undergroud - LP's 2009/2014 Super cheap album overview on 2 CD's or vinyl. Get everything but the most recent album by these superb French psych pop masters for the price of a single CD. Not a duff track on here. Had two albums already, but I couldn't buy the other two for the price of this release, outstanding! If I feel a bit meh, these guys always cheer me up. Longanisse - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGfWuR2Kf9U Circle - Pharoah Overlord Great slow-burn prog metal/post rock of a record from Finlands finest. Weird addition of digital horns and cheesy 80's keyboard stabs and noises give it an unfamiliar vibe for a Circle record, but it kinda works (well I think So). Not heard the 'Pharoah Overlord - Circle' album yet, but on the strength of the Circle album, it should be a goody. Gig last week was best of the year so far, and don't expect it to be topped tbh (though looking forward to Mudhoney/Wolf People next week). Lopetus (from my fav Circle record Alotus) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTBwoogZBO4 (this track has a guitar refrain in the backgroud that reminds me of some of those riffs from early Cope solo records). The Holy Drug Couple - Moonlust Was looking forward to this muchly after the storming last album 'Noctuary'. but on first spin, it's a bit of a let down. More keyboardy, lightweight, less drifty/Dark-sidey, sounds a bit like a bad MGMT album tbh. May have to lay off it for a few weeks till i'm in a different mind set. If I Could Find You (Eternity) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVE19F70gMs Nitzer Ebb - Belief Probably my fav' 'Nitzer' album, the one I feel they stepped out of the shadow of D.A.F. and found their own voice/sound, influenced a little by dance culture of the time, and before the 'metal' guitar made an appearance and it all went a bit Ministry light. Running order of the first 5 tracks is impeccable. Control I'm Here (album mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkV-K2z357w Wire - Wire Saw em' play Manchester a few weeks back, a weird, understated performance by the band, but enjoyable enough. Bought the CD at the gig but not played this till this week and enjoyed it immenseley. Not your typical Wire album (is there one?) it has quite a 'produced'sheen to it, but it's one that'll deffo get more plays than Object 47 or Red Barked Tree Did. Standout track for me is Harpooned....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEa__uIR-ts Other stuff ... Eno - Another Green World/ Tiger Mountain Electrafixion - Burned Hawkwind - excerpts from the 'This Is Your Captain' box. Singles CD is a blast. Meat Beat Manifesto - Storm The Studio/ 99% Ikara Colt - Basic Instruction EP Neils Chldren - Change/Return/Success Have a good week!
