ToiToiToi – Im Hag. Latest from Ghost Box, German guy who seems to hark back to the label’s earlier releases – same quirky sound palette, though without so much of the hauntological spookiness. Nice stuff though: https://soundcloud.com/ghost-box/sets/imhag

Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra – Vula. Crazy German orchestral jazz rock, bit like a cross between Cardiacs and Penguin Café Orchestra.

Jane Weaver – Modern Kosmology. Already one of 2017’s best albums.

Dead Sea Apes – Sixth Side Of The Pentagon

The Inner Space – ‘Apokalypse’. Never heard any of the pre-Can material before, but it’s all out there on YouTube. This track from the Agilok & Blubbo soundtrack is a pretty decent stab at psychedelic freak-out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYiWmfDyPZA

G is for…

Gastr Del Sol – Camoufleur. Last album from Jim O’Rourke’s much lauded 90s post-rock group. I think I got it a few years after the fact when my attention was elsewhere, and it didn’t make much of an impression. To be honest, it didn’t make much more of an impression this time round. It’s jazzily cerebral, but feels a bit disengaged, as though the players have one eyebrow raised throughout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40yAmYuajtY I certainly can’t claim to have heard all of O’Rourke’s output, but I think this might be a recurrent issue. On saying that, he’s also done some marvellous stuff, such as the Insignificance album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8sEMag7LsY and the nicely perverse Halfway To A Threeway EP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qim-IbmFTHo

Wire - Send
Got given a DL of the newbie by a pal but have yet to dip in.
Probably Wire at their most industrial, interms of sound and execution.
If I hadn't witnessed Gotobed drumming like someone possessed at the Barbican all those moons ago, I'd have sworn it was a drum machine on this record. Standouts fer me are still Spent, 99.9, Comet and The Art Of Stopping. Scottish Play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czTTX0lLDtI




I love that album - Spent is a particular fave.

Didn't Newman construct the songs from bit of Gotobed's drumming and then Gotobed had to learn the songs to play them live? Something like that anyway!

Yup got the Hardin comp recently. I had heard loads about him previously but never quite got round to trying him out. Glad I finally did - some wonderful moments in there. Yes came by that JM acoustic comp few days ago - looks like it could be a good one - certainly covers (IMO) his prime years. Might sit well with the Sandy Denny they put out last year ...
