The Black Dog - The Grey Album
Best release by Sheffield concussive elctro nerds for a while. The last two, Music for Photographers and Music for Real Airports tried the Eno-esque ambient route and didn't really work for me.

Goldfrapp - Love Invention
Not bad, had it on shuffle, so not sure which are album tracks and which the remixed versions, like what I've heard tho. It's with Richard X, who I always seem to mix up with the guy out of Death in Vegas.
Sabres Of Paradise - Haunted Dancehall, Sabresonic, Theme single
Following on from last weeks Weatherall fest.... Best version of Theme for me was on an old Select magazine free cassette. Theme II i think it was titled. T2 = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt9UG10Kkl4
Also liked their extra long remix of James track called Jam J https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzvTvhgy00E
Wire - 154/ Chairs Missing/ Not About To Die
Mostly listened to the demos from each, and obvs the last is all demos.
Various - 'Fame' Jon Savage’s Secret History Of Post-Punk (1978-81)
Seems to be ole' Johnnys stock in trade these days, this is well put together in the usual format, well known and unheard of.

Also following on from last weeks Bowie thread, sat down and watched the recent Stardust biopic. Wasn't expecting much cos' of the solid panning review wise, but Wow, loved it. Really captures that time around Man who Sold The World when it really could have gone either way career wise. Thought the lead did a reasonable Bowie take, tho not sure why Angie had a British accent, or Bolan looked like a 5o year old sex worker. It's a real pity they couldn't get any music rights. Much prefer it to the overhyped Moonage Daydream, which is for me a bit Smash Hits make Bowie docu. Yeah, it looks nice, but not much I haven't seen before, despite the bloke having unlimited access to a vast archive. I made it about 3/4 through afore I gave up tbh.
Have better one!
