Saul Williams - MartyrLoserKing. I can feel myself getting all snobby now that he is finally getting some serious air play - mainly for The Noise Came from Here. The great me was first introduced to him some 16 years ago by a friend with a track from The Lyricist Lounge vol 1. Truth is I'm a bit underwhelmed by this album, one or two tracks aside. Not that keen on his voice when he is singing. He has never really nailed an album, but seemed a lot closer 15 years ago. First Impression - maybe I'll give it some more plays.
Breathless - Blue Moon
Heron Oblivion - Oriar (single)
The Membranes - Dark matter/Dark Energy. Great in a punky PIL meets Swan kinda way
Nevermen - Mr Mistake (single)
Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit EP. Great cast (Roots Manuva, Young Fathers and great to see Tricky collaborating with them again)
From my Live collection:
Lisa Knapp - The Western Hotel, St Ives Sep '12
Heather Leigh - St Ives. June '15
Sarah Lowes (from the Earlies) - Various assorted Mark Riley sessions
Jeffrey Lewis - Mono, Dec '15
