Bit of a quiet week:

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet
Porcupie Tree - In Absentia

Dream Theater - Images And Words

Hawkwind - The Machine Stops (Last year's effort and I must say wow! To be honest I hadn't previously bothered checking out any post 70s Hawkwind thinking it would be a bit bland but this is fantastic. Must read the novella it is based on next...)

Hawkwind - Chronicle Of The Black Sword (Decided to check this 1985 album out and pleased I did, good stuff)

Julian Cope - Drunken Songs

Faust - The Faust Tapes (Picked it up on vinyl yesterday, the sleave is pretty battered but the record itself is in good enough nick, a fine album indeed)

Art Blakey - Moanin'

Blue Cheer - Outsideinside

A surprisingly busy half-term, so just a couple of things. Normal service will (probably) be resumed next week…

Graeme Miller & Steve Shill – The Moomins. Latest entertaining oddity from Finders Keepers. Previously unreleased soundtrack to the early 80s fuzzy felt animated version of Finland’s most enduring export (Nokia having blown it in recent years). It’s a lovely though occasionally quite sinister collection of shonky post-punk pastoral electronica, with shades of Cluster and Wendy Carlos. Also at times foreshadows the type of noises that Pram, Broadcast et al would be making. Not quite a lost classic, but definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of homemade retro futurism: https://soundcloud.com/finderskeepersrecords/sets/graeme-miller-steve-shill-the-moomins

Here Lies Man – s/t. The blurb promises ‘Black Sabbath meets Afrobeat’, but it actually rises above what sounds like a gimmicky conceit. Lots of fuzzy, funky riffing and polyrhythmic drumming, which often works surprisingly well, but it’s the strange, high-pitched dubby organ that really intrigues. Imagine a mash-up between Goat, the Budos Band and Sun Araw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fRg66sKS-I

Not music related, but went to see the Paul Nash exhibition at Tate Britain today, which was tremendous. Still perhaps best known as a war artist, he was actually regarded as Britain’s chief surrealist in the ‘30s: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/oct/25/paul-nash-review-pain-wonder-menace-tate-britain-london On for the next couple of weeks, pricey, but highly recommended.

I got Return to Ommadawn out of the library this week. I would never have thought of buying it, but after a couple of listens I'm hooked - it's wonderful.

Luminescent and resonant. Lovely.

and then...

Man - Greasy Truckers, Live at the Padget Rooms
The Fall - Totally Wired (Rough Trade anthology)

Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves
Deke Leonard - Iceberg, Kamikaze

This is really great. Repeato rifferama. Splendid record.
