It's a really well put together docu' of the story of 2000Ad from the early years up until now really. The highs and the lows, the good and the bad, all from the mouths of those who were involved. We rented ours from lovefilm (Amazon Prime). You can buy rent or stream. This is the bumpf up on the 2000Ad website on where to get hold of it. http://futureshock2000ad.com/

Didn't know they'd got back together. Probably explains a few of the odder voiced tracks on the best of CD. Saw em' tour Mange Tout back in the day, just before Xmas 83/84? The show was a blast. The stage was a living room, and they had a couple of gospel singers belting it out alongside them. Was a gig I recall with fond memories, as it had such a positive vibe going on throughout. I used to covet a BBC In Concert tape by them that I recorded on me old Toshiba ghetto blaster that was just such a great performance....now sadly lost :( https://www.discogs.com/Blancmange-In-Concert-333/release/3197063 edit...just found it :) http://pastdaily.com/2015/01/28/blancmange-in-concert-1984-nights-at-the-roundtable-concert-edition/ And if there isn't A DVD of it too... https://www.discogs.com/Blancmange-Hello-Good-Evening-Blancmange-Live/release/1755381 Worth a listen for 'Murder' alone. Stunning rendition of it. Some of the 12" mixes are pretty good for the time, Game Above My Head (Long Version) is almost proto house in places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTtU09PgQJw Enjoy the gig if you go, not sure we've got the spondies our end :(

'All Things Are Nice' is ahead of it's time I think. They did veer towards dance music quite a bit around that time, I'll have to check out the 12" mixes, see what's what I see there was a 2008 remastered collection including remixes.

Monganaut wrote: Bunnymen - Heaven/Crocodiles/Porcupine/Ocean Rain How did they produce those wonderful first four albums, then go on to produce such middling 'meh' kak? Because Will's influence lessened? That said when I saw them live a couple of years ago - 1st time since 1981 - they were REALLY good!

Guy Garvey - Courting the Squall. This is genuinely rather excellent. Jess & The Ancient Ones - Second Psychedelic Coming: The Aquarius Tapes. Really loving this. There's a lot of female fronted occult retro-rock about at the moment (yay!), but these plough a more raw, garagey path. That said, the last track is a 16 minute psyche rock indulgence (also yay). Must get more of these. Lucifer - One Return to Forever - Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy /Where have I known you Before? Acid Priest - Outta Control Lord Fowl - Moon Queen Luna Marada - EP Motorhead - 1916 Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful. Utterly ludicrous and bombastacular, featuring a 24 minute epic, with narration by Richard Dawkins. Splendid in its indulgence though there's a pretty obvious lift from the theme to "Avatar" in there. Given the loose concept of the album, it's appropriate, but I can imagine a few lawyers getting twitchy about it. Table Scraps - More Time for Strangers. A fave album from last year. Limb - Terminal Smoke Fairies - Wild Winter Have a nice week x

Fatalist wrote: Black Mountain – ‘Mothers Of The Sun’. I’ve always been a bit suspicious of this lot, but the keyboardist’s excellent solo outings as Sinoia Caves have made me think I need to reassess them. Here’s a case in point, watching this video for their new song, thinking it’s a bit ‘Blackstar’/Jodorowsky on a budget, and the vocals are over-declamatory… but there’s some great keys, and it has quite a cool riff: http://jagjaguwar.com/embed/blackmountain_mothersofthesun.php ) I managed to snaffle a promo of their new album "IV" and it's quite excellent. They've drifted away from the epic psyche/stonerims of the earlier stuff -although it's still pretty heavy in places, and there's riffage aplenty - there's more of a pop,even new-wavey feel going on, sot of if Magazine became a psyche heavy rock band. I really like it.
