Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day. Had it for a while, but never really got into it until now.

Boombip - Corey MB. Not dissimilar to Boards of Canada at times which is a plus for me... might be because they were on the record!

Bonzo Dog Band - Keynsham. Liked bits of it, although the whole vaudeville vibe isn't quite my thing and the comedy doesn't always work

Radiohead - A moon shaped pool. Pretty good release from the miserable fuckers. Not too downbeat on this one

Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band - Rarity of Experience

Brian Eno - Reflection. Don't mind it... hard to get too enthused by ambient music!(especially when this isn't quite his best)

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis.

Yak - Alas Salvation. Noisy Garage Rock that's alright if you like that kind of thing

Kula Shaker K V2.0. S'alright. Not that enthused either!

Goren Kajfes Subtropic Arkestra - The Reason Why Vol2. I preferred vol1!

Jah Wobble & Invaders of the Heart - Everything is nothing. To conclude my general reaction of Meh to albums, Meh.

Mugstar - Magnetic Seasons. Oh, I haven't finished... meh.

One for luck?

A tribe called Red - Hallucination... MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Original 2LP - Jesus Christ Superstar (also dipped into various other versions, none of which match the near perfection of Gillan and the Grease Band etc. The playing is loose and punchy, the vocals mostly incredible. Matt Berry sums it up brilliantly in this feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rg0v0CxVk0)

Church Of The Cosmic Skull – Is Satan Real? Seven-piece love cult/Nottingham supergroup who aren’t sure whether to worship at the altar of 70s classic rock or 80s AOR, and often end up doing both simultaneously – Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf, Journey and Bryan Adams are all in the mix. This sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, but it’s certainly an accomplished album with bigger ambitions than most bands these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCQCLe40avs

Arbouretum – Song Of The Rose. Didn’t hear their last one, but this sounds very similar indeed to the album before, The Gathering. Sturdy, mid-paced psych-Americana – nice, but it sounds like you may only ever need one of their albums: https://arbouretum.bandcamp.com/track/call-upon-the-fire

Can – The Singles / Saw Delight. The first is another sneaky promo – A and B-sides of all their singles, mostly fab, though I could do without hearing their version of the ‘Can Can’ again. Quite a few people (at least those who haunt RYM) seem to have a bit of a downer on Saw Delight for reasons which completely escape me, as it’s as funkily mesmeric as the Damo period, if not more so. ‘Animal Waves’ is particularly magnificent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SdH2hCepiI

The Creation – various. Shindig cover stars this month, and yet another band I realised I’d never really heard. Was somewhat chastened to discover that they’d written ‘Painter Man’, though I think I still prefer the Boney M version. Many words written along the lines of “they could have been as big as The Who!” when patently they couldn’t have, because they just didn’t have the songs. They were heavy(ish) for the time and their guitarist used a bow, but hard to get behind the idea of them actually being that innovative.

Live:

Church Of The Cosmic Skull / Crumbling Ghost – Boston Music Room, Tufnell Park. Checked out COTCS on Bandcamp ahead of this gig, but the main attraction for me was Crumbling Ghost, who were excellent. Their doom rock meets trad folk thing still works really well, and they generate some genuine power live, not just in terms of heaviness, but in creating that frisson where elements combine to make something greater than the whole. COTCS were OK, occasionally great, though suffered from a PA that clearly couldn’t cope with anything other than a basic rock set-up.
