Nick Drake - Made To Love Magic Pink Floyd - Ummagumma Pink Floyd - The Shape of Questions To Heaven (version 1 of soniclovenoize's construction of a 2nd PF album, if Syd had been more fully involved. As ever this compilation is often very creatively sequenced - the segue from 'Golden Hair' to 'Set The Controls...' is brilliantly achieved) Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail Genesis - Wind & Wuthering The Kinks - The Kinks The Kinks - Kinda Kinks The Kinks - The Kink Kontroversy Madness - One Step Beyond Madness - Absolutely Madness - 7 Blancmange - Happy Families Blancmange - Mange Tout Blancmange - Believe You Me of Arrowe Hill - Domestic Espionage Amon Düül II - Vive La Trance Amon Düül II - Utopia Amon Düül II - Live At The BBC Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (2009 remix - thought I'd finally give this a second listen after being unconvinced by it when it first came out. My initial reservations still stand, the addition of a few extra bars on Part One not being much of a trade-off for the loss of the drum intro to the 'piltdown man' section on Part Two, and the climax of Part One sounds feeble, the titular bells apologetically buried in the mix rather than clanging out triumphantly the way they did on the original mix. But I must admit it is nice to hear instruments that were previously hidden and for the most part the sound is more balanced. Part Two sounds particularly satisfying and the new segue into Mr Piltdown is quite effective. But, for all its imperfections, I'll still go for the original. Rough round the edges, but that's part of the charm).

I'm tempted to think that the reason Mike buried the tubular bells in the mix second time around is because he wanted to obscure that one slightly mis-hit bell as the bells fade out...

Lumerians – Call Of The Void. San Francisco space rock/post-punk/psych techno types return after a long absence. A bit more electronic than before, and not exactly boundary-pushing, but they’re one of those groups that can be relied upon to always deliver something listenable and interesting: https://fuzzclub.bandcamp.com/album/call-of-the-void E – Negative Work. Various veterans of the US post-hardcore produce album that sounds remarkably like what they were doing 25 years ago, only in a good way: https://abandcallede.bandcamp.com/album/negative-work Arctic Monkeys – Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino. Thought I’d give this a listen on the Spot following the reviews… It verges on pastiche, though not sure what of, and Alex Turner’s Bowie meets John Cooper Clarke delivery is quite something, but it’s certainly different. Not an album I’d rush back to, but would be happy to hear it again… Tangerine Dream – Miracle Mile OST VA – Winds Of Time: NWOBHM 1979-1985 CDs 2 & 3. Best lyric in a HM song since Rainbow’s ‘All Night Long’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7Afj7jmHk VA – Bright Ambassadors Of Morning The Vinyl Countdown – F: Faith No More – We Care A Lot. Got this, FNM’s indie debut, when the shop I used to go to in Leicester had sold out of Introduce Yourself… Difficult to convey now just how different and weirdly brilliant FNM sounded at the time, and this album shows they were pretty much fully-formed from the off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnS9wDQowJ0

Hello everyone! Apologies for not doing this for a while, but I've had a hectic few months. I've finished recording the next Black Tempest album (due out on vinyl in about September) and I've qualified as a meditation teacher (I'm already a qualified yoga teacher for those who don't know) - yeay! Anyhow, in the meantime I've enjoyed reading your lists each week even though I haven't had time to write one, so thanks all. CDs: JuJu - Our Mother Was a Plant I'd been wanting to hear this for some time, but unfortunately I found it a bit of a let down. Ty Segall - Freedom's Goblin Bloody great squalling rocking set from the ever prolific Mr Segall. Worth it for the version of Every 1's a Winner alone. Wish I'd got this on vinyl actually - it would work well across the 4 sides of the double. Tangerine Dream - Official Bootleg Series Vol 1 (Reims Cathedral and Mozartsaal, Mannheim - '74 and '76) I've been returning to this a lot lately. I slightly dismissed this when I first got it ages back, but on returning I love it. Funny how that can happen. Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water Really been enjoying this. Not heard it before for some reason, so it is almost like finding a lost Yes album for me. Brand X - Nuclear Burn Budget boxset of their albums. Some fantastic stuff on here if you like a bit of jazz rock, Mahavishnu and so on. I hadn't realised the close relationship between early Brand X and Brian Eno's Another Green World album. The combination of Phil Collins and Percy Jones shines through on both. Vinyl: Bong - Thought and Existence Just love a bit of Bong. Another great addition to their catalogue. I'd love to see them live again sometime. Gnod - Be Aware of Your Limitations This is more a kind of Gnod R&D thing really. Live recording of their more experimental set at Roadburn. Kind of like a really paranoid weirded out version of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. Sort of. Zong - S/T Keep coming back to this one. Brilliant sprawling prog marathons that rock and seethe in a pleasingly psychedelic fashion. Anthroprophh- Omegaville Wow. This is an incredible assault on the senses. Heavy, rocking and pretty strange in places, I still don't think I've really got to know this brilliant double album. If not the best release of the year, certainly the most ambitious. Gnod - Chapel Perilous How the hell do you follow an album as great as last years "Just Say No"? Well this is a pretty bloody good attempt. A couple of great Neil Francis vocals on this one, and some fantastic trademark heavy repetition on show. There are elements of light and shade on this album too - not as monolithic as "Just Say No". Flowers Must Die - Dar Blommor Dor This lot were a highlight of the recent Record Recordings 20th birthday weekend gigs. Completely entrancing live. Some marvellous wigged out hypno jams on this double.
