Some rock this week: Yes: Close to the edge.... Still great after all these years on the original LP i have owned since the mid 70's. Something of a surprise too: Dueling Banjo's: Theme from the movie Deliverence QCA records #304 recorded 1973 Featuring Rusty York and Lonnie Mack.....yes Lonnie Mack! Never even knew he did this record. All bluegrass and pretty great too. Ravi Shankar: The sounds of India Columbia WL 119 1950's? Pretty good early Ravi Ragas... Instructional too. Ravi explains the music time signatures prior to each piece. Leopold Stowkowski: Schoenburg's transfigured night and Loeffler's A pagan dream Seraphim S-60080 Schoenburgs transfigured night was pretty much bland romantic Loeffler's A pagan dream was a bit better.... Both are tone poems Issac Albeniz: Iberia and Turina Columbia M2L 268 and London 410 289-1 respectively also featuring Manuel de Falla's Nights in the garden of Spain Alicia De Larrocha It is hard to imagine these pieces played any better. Alicia De Larrocha is now my favorite pianist{this week} Chopin recital Columbia ML 4721 Sonata#3 B minor,Barcarolle F sharp major,Nocturne#8 D flat major, Mazurka#32 C sharp minor Dinu Lipatti Very good performances yet flawed by recording sounding like the microphone was in the coat room instead of over the piano. David Oistrakh: Columbia ML 5085 Mendelssohn Violin concerto and Mozart concerto #4 Excellent performances. Got to listen to these records through 2 Altec Lansing Bolero 890c series speakers i aquired at an estate sale this week....perfect condition and awe inspiring sound quality.

Main repeat plays this week: Minny Pops - Drastic Movement, Drastic Measures 2 CD Factory Benelux reissue of their 1979 debut pre-Factory album, with second disc a live performance of the album from 2012. I generally underlistened to this group until seeing them live with Mr Clarkson a couple of years ago. This is a very decent record, not an easy listen in places and although song-based, fitting into the more experimental end of the post-punk spectrum. The live CD is okay but the real draw of seeing them live is the towering (in every way) presence of singer Wally van Middendorp so audio only doesn't have quite the same appeal. The Pop Group - Cabinet of Curiosities 2014 compilation of non-album single, a couple of Peel session tracks, some demos and live, mostly 1978-79. On the face of it, this should be a bit of a ragbag, but actually it's compelling listening. The remastering is terrific and opener "Where There's A Will" (originally on a split 7" with The Slits equally marvellous "In The Beginning There Was Rhythm") is much funkier than I remember from the vinyl. It's easy to see how this band inspired The Birthday Party from these early tracks. Well worth seeking out if squalling post-punk funk is your thing. Otherwise: White Noise - An Electric Storm Faust - Faust IV Harold Budd - The Pavilion of Dreams Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia Ultravox! - Ha! Ha! Ha! Eno, Moebius, Roedelius - After The Heat Virginia Astley - From Gardens Where We Feel Secure The Durutti Column - Another Setting The The - "Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)" CD single Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Autechre - Garbage EP Beak - >> (2 disc) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away New Order - "Restless"

Personally I'd recommend: LC Vini Reilly A Paean To Wilson Most of other albums are a little patchier, but I love them all to pieces. My favourite piece though is "All That Love And Maths Can Do", a 12" b-side with John Metcalfe on viola. Also Return Of... although you obviously have that already... Short Stories For Pauline was never intended for release, or at least it never made it that far anyway.
