This week I listened to Killing Joke S/T - caught before atonal riffs became their awesome norm, Killing Joke’s debut album still made - and makes - a powerful impression; Metallica ‘72 Seasons’ - back to their scintillating best, this is up there with their first three albums for sheer visceral power. Doomy riff lovers will shoot their load. Welcome home, guys; Paul Brady ‘Hard Station’ - so fresh does this remarkably tuneful 1981 album sound, it’s incredible to think that its creator has now reached the stately age of 75. Scott Walker ‘Climate Of Hunter’ - not many albums released in 1984 have worn as well as Scott’s only album of that decade. Totally out there, yet relatively mainstream compared to what was to follow, this short and sweet gem is my favourite of the man’s solo oeuvre. And my, that sublime voice never sounded better; Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ - which has been part of my life since childhood, yet still registers new subtleties with each listen. Popularity and mega sales haven’t always guaranteed quality but my, they did here. I might kid myself that everything up to ‘Ummagumma’ is my preferred Floyd era but there’s no denying the class of this tremendous summary of the human condition, both then and now. And has there ever been a better sounding record than this? Black Flag ‘Nervous Breakdown’ EP - Extended play? That’s a laugh. I’ve hundreds of regular two song 45s that last much longer than this. Not many with this much primal bile though. Wonderful; Cooke: Organ Sonata no.1 in G (Tom Winpenny) - unsung English organ music at just the right extreme of tonality, superbly played; Haydn: String Quartets Op.77 (London Haydn Quartet) - this latest instalment of the LHQ’s long-gestating Haydn quartet series is as serious and considered as its predecessors; perhaps a little too much so; Haydn: String Quartets Op.33 (Festetics Quartet) - although following similar period practice, this has much more thrust and vibrancy than the LHQ’s sometimes over-gentile approach. I’m thoroughly enjoying this Festetics’ Haydn box, which an unnamed online retailer is now selling for a ludicrously low price; Beethoven: Symphonies 1 & 3 (RPO/Dorati) - Antal Dorati’s RPO Beethoven cycle from 1975/76 has only now been released on CD for the first time. These are unashamedly old school readings, a little too measured in the First for my tastes, but good to hear at last. I’ll play some more in the coming weeks. This is how you disappear. Happy vibes, all Dave x

This and that this week, or several really. Shocked by the sudden passing of Mark Stewert. Pop Group/Mark Stewert - Y/ We Are All Prostitutes/ Citizen Zombie/Metatron/For How much Longer.../VS Future Sound Of London - A Space Of Partial Illumnation Holy Fuck - S/T Magazine - Rays and Hail Comp. There's an episode of Granada TV's What's On up on youtube that has early footage of Buzzcocks/Magazine in early years alongside interviews. Worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x7-T4_d--U&t=4s Liquid Sound Company - Psychoactive Songs For The Psoul Ladytron - Times Arrow Nurse With Wound - The Devils Interval Clock DVA - Horology 3 The Fall - Peel Sessions Doesn't get much better than the Peel session version of Blindness. Various Artists Heavy Nuggets 15 Brown Acid 6 Ost Kraut. Progressive Rock from the GDR Fast Product - The First Year Plan Other stuff. Top little film of Scottish indie labels and acts of the late 70's - mid 80's called Big Gold Dream. Kinda like a more interesting Punk Brittania, but for Scotland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M5aOKj3UQI Keep Well x

From the times of regional TV in the UK where if you were not from the area, these things passed us by. Did you notice a very young Mick Hucknall down the front when Magazine were playing? Around the 16 min mark. There's a whole bunch (well 4 episodes) of Futurama 1980 if you're interested.... Hit and miss tbh, but loads of bands that were just a flash in the pan as well as stuff like the Banshees. 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGP7QLgguTE 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Se_sFjOBk&t=8s 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhFHXL7IMC0 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zbt0mP6Eu0
