This week have been off and walking, and I have mostly been caught out by the clocks going back, and have found myself pretty often tramping through pitch black woods at night (well 6.30pm or so). Many of these albums have been on the headphones during these stumblefests. Must admit, I Was quite surprised that during the dusk and gloaming, I was able to creep up within 30 meters or so of the local roe deer, before they finally caught on I was there, and ping ponged off like Bambi on springs (you'd think it would be easier to run). Made me chuckle nonetheless.

Kain - The Blue Guerrilla -- member of Last Poets solo with a full jazz band.

Rasa - Oasis -- OK jazz-rock with a bit more of something mystical. From Sweden...

Dead Flowers - Moontan -- just got this, psych circa early to mid 90s...

Annexus Quam - Osmosis -- also something I've just discovered recently

Johnboy - Pistolswing and Claim Dedications -- disappointing 90s noise rock. They listened to too much of Steve Albini's post Big Black stuff.

Wild Man Fischer - Wildmania -- first time I sat through an album by this person. Actually sounds better when he has a band backing him up...

Peter Hammill - In Camera

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Downside Up boxset

The Psychedelic Furs - s/t

Live Skull - Bringing Home the Bait

Missing Foundation - Demise -- this industrial-punk group was controversial back in the day mostly for riotous shows around NYC.

Pink Floyd 'Animals' - their last great album IMHO. Vocoder (ugh) aside, this still sounds contemporary and has plenty of Waters' usual verbal bile tempered with great tunes and dynamics. More importantly, it ROCKS, like Floyd rarely do elsewhere. I dig this very much;

Various 'Grind Crusher - The Ultimate Earache' - a bit of a laugh in places - intentionally, I think - but there are some genuinely thrilling moments within this grab-bag of industrial, grindcore and death metal from the early 90's. I now feel inclined to dig out some of the albums featured herein. Watch out neighbours;

Nick Lowe and his Cowboy Outfit S/T - the best of the recent spate of reissues of Lowe's mid-period solo output, with a rocking band centred around Paul Carrack whose sublime keyboard skills have been somewhat overshadowed by his vocals of late. Lowe's own unsung greatness as a pop songwriter is well on show: I've been whistling 'Breakaway' (not the Tracey Ullman hit) all week;

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel 'Timeless Flight' - probably the most underrated LP bearing the Cockney Rebel name, this was a brave move away from the commercially successful pop quirkiness of the previous three albums and featured some much more restrained and subtle compositions by its smugly talented protagonist (who was still, it's easy to forget, barely in his mid-twenties at the time). As a result it is a much more satisfying and consistent set of songs in my opinion. I may attempt a full Unsung review of this if I can find the time;

David Sylvian 'Blemish' - God knows what's become of Sylvian of late: his website has been almost completely silent for years now and all of his post-Virgin output - including this wonderfully left field confessional - has been quietly removed from the market, presumably by the man himself. That's a great shame, because Sylvian has never been more interesting and abstractly inspirational than in the present century;

Hindemith & Schoenberg: String Trios (Trio Zimmermann) - favourably reviewed in the latest 'Gramophone', this is an inspiring release of some rarely heard and genuinely original chamber music. I already knew the Schoenberg from an earlier recording by members of the LaSalle Quartet but this version surpasses it technically and emotionally.

Otherwise I've continued to glean unending satisfaction from my box of 'The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings' of the Dave Brubeck Quartet: sublime, smoky jazz wonderment with the heavenly talent of the great Paul Desmond, possibly my all-time favourite musician of any genre. It ain't rock and roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do...

Have a great week, all.

Johannes Malfatti - Surge. An hour long ambient drone piece, inspired by the surge behaviour of glaciers. A meditation on time.

Raison d'Etre & Troum - Xibipiio. Second collaborative album. More drone!

Slow Heart Music - This body is not me. Lovely acoustic guitar album.

Alder and Ash - Clutched in the Maw of the World. Fantastic solo cello album.
