Main repeats this week: The Raincoats - Odyshape Took me years to finally get this, until the recent reissue. Despite repeated plays this week it's a hard record to love. Very lo-fi and hardly a distant cousin of melody to be found. "Only Loved At Night" is quite lovely though, inhabiting a corner of the universe that Young Marble Giants lived in. Johnny Marr - The Messenger Nice enough Mod-ish guitar pop, with some occasional forays into something a bit heavier. I like his voice too. Not a life-changer, but will no doubt listen to it again. The Wonderstuff - Oh No It's ... A big improvement on the last two (which were terrible), not going to win any new fans but might make a few old ones happy. The bonus disc of cover versions of Midlands bands is sporadically great though. Otherwise: Lonelady - Nerve Up Lonelady - Hinterland Bjork - Vulnicura New Order - Music Complete Saw New Order live in Wolves on Tuesday, they were brilliant (although the sound wasn't so good at times). They opened with "Singularity" off the new album which I reckon is the best song they've written for 25 years. Lots of highlights, especially TPK, Temptation, Ceremony and especially "Lonesome Tonight" which I've never seen live before.

Spent a wonderful 7 days hikng around amidst the wild weather of Suffolk (Cheap holiday chalet on Kessingland Beach...wonderfully bleak in winter...beaches are deserted in a VERY M.R Jamesian way). Anyhows, took about 100 CD's with me and various media devices to play in the car....result....didn't really play anything. Wind, sea and rain soundtracked my days, with the exception of, and for some reason I can't fathom, I found myself seeking out ... Thomas Dobly - Golden Age of Wireless This cornball, one eye on the states, singer songwritery first album really did it for me (well bts of it). Quite liked him as a lad after Windpower came out, but was disappointed by the 1st album not being Windpower MKs 1 to 10. Mind you, B-Side of 'Blinded me With Science track, 'One Of Our Submarines' is still a firm fav' even after all this time. The ridiculous operatic pomposity of 'Cloudburst On Shingle Street' really fitted my sneakey jaunt along the beach to the cold war nuclear testing site on Orford Ness (you can walk along the beach form Aldeburgh to get there, don't need the NT boat from Orford). Started googling Magnus Pyke (for obvious reasions..."SCIENCE"... whilst away...what a forward thinking and radical dood, he was warning us about the perils of consumer society and making people into automatons way back in 1959 in his book 'Slaves Unaware'. One Of Our Submarines - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgPTz3FoMU Airwaves - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CL6aJ8YqAM Cloudburst On Shingle Street - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7HQ1sV11vE Other serendipitous stuff turned up on shuffle.. On way to Sizewell B---Banshees 'Cities In Dust' Cities In Dust - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hMagNuhLkk On way back from Dunwhich, Coil's 'The Sea Priestess' Sea Priestess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyIjyVVjIoc And finally, on way home from Hol's, Cope live at Phoenix Festival 1993 (what a great gig!, he's on top form, and you can almost feel the joy at the discovery of a new musical direction/muse) You can watch it on U-Twat if you feel like it. Which led onto Peggy and Jehovahkill (Obvs!! butgreat to hear these again, hadn't played them in an ages) Cope at Phoenix - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2VC4ns-_eY Since getting back it's been... Hawkwind - Space Ritual Hawklords - R-Evolution Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses/Violator/A Broken Frame (I'm always amazed at how many DM albums I seem to have 'aquired' over the years...usually down to various charity shop purchaces...mind you, I do have a secret soft spot for them...though wish they'd do less ballady stuff...i drags a bit). Looking forward to new Backwards vinyl dropping on m doorstep sometime later in the week, and a few extra/unreleased downloads to go along with it (thank you mr Danny Hyde!!). Gotta say, don't feel like it's Xmas in the cominng weeks at all, though still ridiculously chilled from my hols, and all the tramping about therein. Have a good week y'all

I don't remember ever buying anything else on Fast as I didn't much like the rest of the Mekons' output and IIRC Go4 were sold off to EMI straight after that.

I didn't have the 7"s, but I did buy that Fast Product compilation at the time, not a duffer on it as I recall. Also, think it was my intro to The Human League. The Fast versions are still my fave versions of Being Boiled/Circus of Death (but when they got added to the Reproduction remaster....they missed out the great Dark Star dialogue bit at the end, the "Do you think we'll ever find any real intelligent life out there.....Who cares" bit).

Human League "Being Boiled" and "Dignity of Labour EP" were on Fast, and there was a decent early 45 from Scars. The other "big" release was the Earcom 2 compilation that featured two outtakes from Unknown Pleasures (eventually they turned up on Substance).
