Transatlantic - SMPTe
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (Gave this one a few listens this week having not heard it beore, pretty good)

Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain (My brother in law borrowed this from me and had it for about 2 years so been a while since I last listened. Classic album)

Anderson & Stolt - Invention of Knowledge (I have been giving lots of modern prog a go lately and have been surprised by how much I like some. This started alright but soon became a chore to sit through, I don't think I will bother to listen again)

Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Matching Mole - Matching Mole

Os Mutantes - Haih Or Amortecedor (I still haven't heard their first one for some mad reason, picked this up in a charity shop for 50p. Patchy but some of it is pretty good)

Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory

Ziguri - Onetwothreefour (Some of this is really good but a lot of it I found a bit bland and generic sounding, I will have to give it another go)

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Gorilla

Caravan - Cunning Stunts (This is the latest Caravan album I own and one I listen to the least by far, however every now and then it hits the spot)

John Martyn - Solid Air

Youtube

Vashti Bunyan film "From Here To Before" (2008). Lovely film, as slow-paced as her long trip by horse and cart from London to the Scottish western isles... a biographical film about Vashti's musical career.

Just bought a new banger off ebay (vaux Astra G - 79000, very tasty nick £320) as the gearbox on the old tank is just too shonky these days. Anyhoo, car has a 'built in' CD player/radio thingy which means I can't plug my mP3 player into the aux input, so am forced to play actual CD's (which is no bad thing, as I've been neglecting the stash these last years). So to christen the silver Machine it has been....

Can - Future Days

Mojo Comps - Brain Damaged and This Is It!
When they get it right, they put some blinding comps together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp6hS0_ywCM

Circle - Alotus

We Are Wolves - Total Magique
Superb French Canadian electro rock outfit...this one is their best if you want something upbeat, noisey and bangey. Mates with DFA 1979 I believe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAUaYvsHVsM&list=PL6F399811F7A1CACF

Stereolab - Dots and Loops
Took me years to warm to this album, but it's now one of my fav Stereolab records. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tySo7kCou0Q

Think that was about it. Sitting in bad feeling sorry fer myself with THE mother of all colds at the minute.

Have a goody.

Nordic Giants - some Ep or other. Got bored of their sigor ros lite post rock sound TBH. Hell, I don't even like Sigor Ros...

Dorothy Ashby - Afro Harping. Invites further listens. Very of its time (late 60's) in production and vibe. Approaching lounge jazz with a harp, but in a tasteful fashion.

Ravel: Complete Orchestral Works. All 4hours and 2 minutes of it which mostly flew by.

Taman Shud - Viper Smoke

Buffy Saint-Marie - Illuminations

Shut up and Dance - Death is not the End

UK - st (Thanks Ian!) Lush prog super group featuring the recently late and great John Wetton. Never heard this before and love it. Bill Bruford's drumming is mint.

Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies (streaming). Ace melodic NWOBHM tackle

Tygers of Pan Tang - Wildcat
Eloy - Time to Turn
Purson - Desire's Magic Theatre
Qemists - Warrior Sound
Goat - Requiem
Metallica - Hardwired...to Self Destruct
The Emperor Machine - Vertical Tones & Horizontal Noise

I spent a LOT of my early adolescence listening to those two, both classics in their own way

Eek, I had that UK album years ago, but couldn't get into it, maybe need to revisit..? RIP JW
