Kawabata Makoto - Inui 2/ Inui 4
That BBC 4 Prog about minimalism had me digging the racks for something to mong out to whilst doing other stuff. Hadn't played these in quite some time, but they are both sublime records. Esp Inui 4, which is one long piece on hurdy gurdy and other droney insrtumentation. Most of 2 Is more akin to the Coil Timemachines album, except Shin, which uses a bowed sitar (I think). Inui 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKzxVk4DZ5Q
2 - Son - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl8i7nJ2OTo
2 - Kan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARHrfzqc3Zw

Rough Trade Shops - Post Punk

Various - To The Outside Of Everything - Post Punk 77-81
Birthday Pressie from my missus (51 and counting).
Monster 5 CD selection of well and less well known tracks.
https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/to-the-outside-of-everything-a-story-of-uk-post-punk-1977-1981-deluxe-5cd-box-set/

Diagram Brothers - Some Marvels Of Modern Science
"I Didn't Get Where I Am Now By Being A Git" is still a prescient song, as is much of the stuff produced generally by many bands in the early 80's.
Great performance on Riverside of said track.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMQLAi10rZA and ....
Neutron Bomb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyWgbCOzrT4

Hawkwind - Live at the BBC
"The tape is running, The red orb is glowing". Some mental 'power' drumming on first track 'Born To Go'. For some reason my edition has 2 discs, a mono and stereo mix CD??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGqkXb0cctk

The Fall - 458489 B-Sides
Some of these B-sides were as good as the flip.
Selection - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZC6MpGrJxM&list=PLnJsh52n65cOeHC8rvYqmc3xjMf2tfsvf

Glaxo Babies - Singles and Sessions 79-80
Compiled by the very nice fella on Die or DIY blog. Have a root, it's full of good stuff. http://dieordiy2.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/glaxo-babies-singles-and-sessions-1979.html

Bowie - early gig Beckenham?
Only got an MP3 of this, no info or tracklisting and don't remember where I got it from sadly. Obviously a smallish venue, pretty well recorded, and some excruciating inter-song banter from the Bowster. " Were starting an Arts Lab, pretty Groovy, (giggle)" (I'm paraphrasing)...."My friend George who designs pretty groovy album covers".....Think his big crush Hermione may be singing too, so must be pretty early. This is a track off it...
Lover to the Dawn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu-_zMKku0Y
Seems to have pic of bootleg CD, so I guess it's still out there.
Some memories of the Arts Lab here....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrIH1dSZwxY

Main replays this week:

Killing Joke - Pylon
From 2015. Tons of monstrous riffage as we've come to expect from KJ these days, there are some hummable tunes here as well though. The lyrics are typically buried but on closer scrutiny the usual themes of global cabals and how we're all basically being fucked over are present and correct. Blair and Iraq get a mention, which makes me wonder how regular communications are into Jaz's no-internet-here-thank-you bunker. Although he also mentions Strictly, so you never know.

The next two were on repeat last week too, and are not going far from the stereo:

Olden Yolk - Olden Yolk
This one is likely to be in my albums of the year, really liking it.

Lowtide - Southern Mind
Ditto.

Loma - Loma
Joining them in the potential end of year contenders and probably surpassing them. Sparse desert blueish indie with a bit of electronic sheen, loving this very much indeed.

Three other new releases, only a play each so far but very happy listening:

Urthona - Destruction Rules
Gwenno - Le Kov
Breeders - All Nerve

Otherwise:

The Human League - Dare
Killing Joke - The Singles Collection (Disc 1: 1979 - 1990)
A-ha - Hunting High & Low
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy
A-ha - Scoundrel Days
The Wedding Present - Tommy
REM - Green
The Wedding Present - "Kennedy" EP

The Wedding Present - "Brassneck" EP
Sugar - Copper Blue
Therapy? - "Teethgrinder" EP
Thousand Yard Stare - "Comeuppance" EP
Throwing Muses - "Firepile" EP x2
New Order - Republic
Kristin Hersh - Hips And Makers

Cross Record - etc.
The God In Hackney - Cave Moderne
Loma - Shivani OST

Getting a bit slack at listening to new music - partially because I can't be bothered to listen to 6 music so much now as most of the presenters bug me.

Electric Moon - Lunatics and Lunatics Revenge

Manic St Preachers - Everything Must Go

Melt Yourself Down - S/T

Mint 400 - intercomfort

Phil Manzenera - Diamond Head

Mono/Poly - Golden Skies

Monk & Canatella - Care in the Community. I have mentioned this in my listings at least once a year since I've started posting here circa 2002/2003. Ostensibly a concept album about Depression and feeling on the edge which instantly brings me into the party, in a mid 90's Trip Hop Stylee. Probably my fav 'Trip Hop' styled album too. So creative and inventive.

Eat Static - Last Ship to Paradise.

Jeffery Lewis - The last time I took acid I went insane, It's the ones that have cracked that the light shines through and 12 crass songs

Love - De Capo, Forever Changes and Foursail.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Pigs Lib

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything?

Leadbelly - Midnight Special

Liars - Wixiw. Production reminds me of Massive Attack and turn of the century Ian Brown which I quite like actually. I think i read somewhere that Thom Yorke really loved these guys, and it seems that the influence has reciprocated on this album as they verge into Electronica territory.

Liars - They were wrong so we drowned

Halo Maud – Je Suis Une Île. Interesting avant-pop from French lady. Not quite in the same league as La Feline, and a bit too Bjork-ish for me in places, but there’s something interesting in every song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUk2KJWFq7Y

Cosmo Sheldrake – The Much Much How How And I. Orch pop carnival prog, with lots of big tunes and cleverly processed woodwind and brass. It’s a bit geeky hipster, but Mr Sheldrake is clearly a very talented young man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8a35QScYaQ

Wand – Perfume. Mini-album hot on the heels of last year’s Plum. Appealingly heavy psych pop – Wand are exactly the kind of band that NME should have got behind in a big way (though for all I know, maybe they did): https://wand.bandcamp.com/album/perfume

The Oscillation – U.E.F. More psychy types, but voyaging off in the direction of ‘there’s always been a dance element to our music’… This is actually pretty good, two long tracks full of arpeggiated synth and echoplexed guitars, but sounds a bit dated. The kind of thing that NME (them again) might have proclaimed the future of music in 1989… https://theoscillation.bandcamp.com/album/u-e-f

Jason Sharp – Stand Above The Streams. Drone stuff from sax guy. Good on its own terms, but it feels like there’s so much stuff like this out there, and thus hard to get that excited about it.

Carlton Melton – Mind Materials. Right, I’m not listening to any more albums by these guys. Every track sounds vaguely promising, then proceeds to go nowhere for far too long.

Dead Meadow – The Nothing They Need. This, on the other hand, is how you do contemporary stoner psych. A wonderful album.

Mint Field – Pasar De Las Luces. Spookily reminiscent of Slowdive circa Pygmalion, with a little added oomph in the rhythm department.

Rick Wakeman – The Real Lisztomania. Not only have I listened to a Rick Wakeman album the whole way through, I’ve actually enjoyed the experience. Reissued OST to Ken Russell’s utterly bonkers film from 1975 – if you don’t believe me, take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peJ_ncxXung

Listen With Father:

Blackwater Holylight – s/t. Thought I’d treat the girls to something a little more contemporary, though frankly this still sounds like it’s from a parallel universe where Buckingham Nicks joined Black Sabbath instead of Fleetwood Mac. One of those albums that seeps into your subconscious and takes up residence… https://blackwaterholylight.bandcamp.com/track/wave-of-conscience
