Sendelica – Cromlech Chronicles III. Psychedelic space rock people from Wales do as per the description, though definitely a cut above your average hippie jam band: https://sendelica.bandcamp.com/album/cromlech-chronicles-iii

Heroin In Tahiti – The Casilina Tapes 2010-2017. Ludicrously named Italians rifle through their demoes (I assume). Hard to pin them down, a bit hauntological, a bit lo-fi electronica, a bit library post-punk. Worth a listen though: https://boringmachines.bandcamp.com/album/heroin-in-tahiti-casilina-tapes-2010-2017

Motorpsycho – Roadworks vol 5. Latest gigantic entry in ongoing official bootleg series – seven songs over the space of two CDs. Inevitably some extended periods of noodling, but a hell of a live band nonetheless: https://vimeo.com/276017071

Wire – Pink Flag / Chairs Missing / 154. Much as I like a lot of the songs on PF and CM, I find them overall a tad alienating as a listening experience. Ironically, I love 154, which is of course all about alienation, existential crises etc.

I only have that one and Time Honoured Ghosts, I really need to investigate their music further because I really enjoy what I have heard so far

World's Strongest Man – Gaz Coombes
To be honest I hadn't really thought about buying this until I saw GC on Later recently. I loved the track Deep Pockets, watched it a couple of times and bought the album. Liking it, too.


Got a few minutes time for Gaz. I actually prefer his solo stuff to Supergrass in the main. Also enjoyed his Later performances. If you haven't heard Here come the bombs, then you probably should - his first solo album.

Cheers, seem to recall hearing something poff that and liking it.

I remember hearing a track by another former member which was really good too!

Can- Future Days
This always comes out in a heatwave since I first heard it on an old tape given to me by a friend in around 89', just sublime, and not a duffer on it. (B-Side of tape was an 'ambient' album 'Morpheus' by Front Line Assembly/Skinny Puppy offshoot band Delerium if you're interested). Must have played Moonshake about 20 times in a row, maaaan I do luurve that track soooo much! :) Delerium - Morpheus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ-oEHkv7LA

Melody's Echo Chamber - Bon Voyage
Wasn't a fan of the first release, so dunno why I tuned into this on Spotify but liked it even less. As someone commented last week (Fatalist?) it's like soulessly crate diggin' a hipsters record collection.

Mamuthones - Fear on the Corner.
Loved the first coupla albums with their weird Sardinian ritual music vibes, but like many artists at the minute, he seems to be going for the electronic/dance angle, which having heard much of it a long time ago, I find less than inspiring tbh.

Wooden Shjips - V
Liking this a lot, though the last track feels a bit like filler. Nothing earth shattering, you've heard their sound often enough, but they are good/consistant at what they do. Touring in Sept :)
V -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxhEYgklyms

Halo Maud - Je suis une île
Near cousin to Melodies Echo Chamber, but cos' of it's more 60's psych pop/chanson vibe, I like this a bit more.

Circle - Raunio
Bought this from Cope (along with a couple of other Circle albums) a few years ago during a previous clear out. One of my fav' Circle albums, it's live, and
some of the recording is distictly overdriven, but love it all the same.

White Hills, Stop Deaf Mute
More drum machiney than previous outings, but enjoyable enough even so.
https://whitehills.bandcamp.com/album/stop-mute-defeat

Various - Avon Calling 2CD
Some good, some not so good track from 1979 with Peel intro. Mostly listening cos' of the devine post punk of Glaxo Babies.

Mark Fisher - LondonUnderLondon/On Vanishing Land
Stumbled across this on Soundcloud whilst perusing the Kpunk archive
S'OK. https://soundcloud.com/user-222190037/sets/mark-fisher-london-under
There are also a few tracks from the'On Vanishing Land' travelog from Lowestoft Container port to Sutton Hoo. Some is like a lost Coil album, some takes snippets and samples of familiar yet forgotten themes and codas (Oooh Laa from War of the Worlds, Doctor Who theme etc....) S'good stuff.

Fascinating author and philosopher on modern times. Sadly missed, RIP Mark.
That's about it. Keep well and soak up that sun. xx
