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!
