Having a bit of a 80's pop fling these past few weeks, mostly thanks to those TOTP reruns on BBC4. The Passions - Michael and Maranda Was only aware of the 'German Filmstar' single, after watching them on TOTP reruns on BBC4 Thought I'd check out the other stuff they put out. M&M is my fav so far. Kinda like a better produced Au Pairs. Same label as those early Cure albums too (Fiction). Gary Numan - Living Ornaments 79/80/81, Telekon, Pleasure Principle. Some great gigs up on youtube too. These three are particularly worth some of your time if Numan is your cuppa tea. The bands are really tight on all these performances. Replicas 2009? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JWo3n1rbTc Pleasure Priciple 2008? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwnN3k-nMiI Telekon 2009? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2dx6EMPvOQ Blancmange - Best Of 2CD (Rhino) This was a cheapy add on to make up a £20 order on Amazong. Loved them back in the day, and this comp' on Rhino pulls together most of what you'd want, plus 12" versions and the odd session track. Well worth the £3 I paid Eurythmics - Best of All you need really, though non of the Conny Plank produced Debut. Loved some of their early hits, 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Here Comes The Rain' are still firm favs, and the other stuff is familiar from radio play. Frankly, I was never a massive fan, but these tunes still piss over most stuff that passes for pop music these days, or am I just gettin old (probably that !). OMD - Organisation Still my fav' OMD record. Human League - Dare/Travelogue/ Reptroduction/Love and Dancing All great records with soething to tecommend them all, even the 12" mix thang that is Love and Dancng. 'Sound Of The Crowd' still rocks my world massively. Bunnymen - Heaven/Crocodiles/Porcupine/Ocean Rain How did they produce those wonderful first four albums, then go on to produce such middling 'meh' kak? Still find it hard to square up the'scouseness' of Mac with the almost poetry of the songs on these albums. V/A - Where The Sea Meets The Sky Great comp, well worth tracking down, https://www.discogs.com/Various-Where-The-Sea-Meets-The-Sky/release/581485 Also, if you're a fan of 2000AD comic, the DVD docuentary 'Future Shocks' is well worth picking up. All you're fav 2000AD creators get interviewed and dish the dirt on the galaxies finest comic. Plus a whole bunch of comic samples in PDF form as extras. Groovy! It's great to see how much fire in the belly Pat Mills still has for the genre. Think (along with Alan Moore and Kevin O'neil Simon Bisley's art) he's my fav' comic script writer ever. Have a good week!

Illuminations was one of those albums perpetually in the cut outs section of Virgin along with Man's Slow Motion and the first Chapman Whitney record. I was a huge Santana fan up to the 76 tour when they went a bit showbiz and I was lucky enough to buy it for £1 or £1.50 in 75. Confused me totally but it was a lot more accessible than the Lifetime record I got for 50p the same day. It was that period pre Punk when Jazz Rock was basically Prog by other means. Anyway ... if you like that one then there is a Bill Laswell "reimagining" of it where he fuses parts of Santana's work with Alice Coltrane with parts of Love Devotion and Surrender. You will like I think.

Tell you what though, for sheer weight and heavy splendidness of packaging, the cover of Altar (Sunn O)))) and Boris) beats it hands down! wasn't that a triple LP, I bet the postman loved that Southern Lord did a quadruple Burning Witch LP, I bet the postage on that was more than the record http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L7xNfZiF8uw/TwVX9xefZiI/AAAAAAAABl0/LLB5yVqd3Uk/s1600/IMG_3006.JPG Didn't the Bong Bethmoora vinyl reissue come in weighty, IIRC the AWWFN label guy said he took a loss on every LP mailed out because of the postage

They're on tour next month, I'm tempted to get a ticket for the Garage in London but haven't got round to it yet.
