Hope you're all doing fine.

Prins Tomas - S/T
Wish he had continued in the 'kosmiche disco' stylee of this debut, it's a lovely chilled record.

The Orb - Abolition of the Royal Familiar
There are a couple of super chilled piano led tracks on here that are just lush.

Erika - Anevite Void
If you're old enough to remember those Warp artifical Intelegence releases of the mid 90's then you may just enjoy this, as the sounds and atmosphere remind me big time of the B12 album Electro Soma (which is deffo worth a listen too). https://erika.bandcamp.com/album/anevite-void-it-50

Rrose - Please Touch
Minimal techno and stretched out ambience. Not always in the fram of mind to listen to this kinda stuff, but htting home runs all week with this.

Dorothy Moskowitz & The United States of Alchemy - Under an Endless Sky
This is just abeautiful record. It's a new release, but For a while I was under the impression that it was some kinda 'lost' reissue, being as it has the lady from United States of America band on it (much beloved of Broadcast and their ilk). Part Coil 'angelic conversation/how to destroy angels' part Ruth White 'Flowers of Evil', but in reality it's own thing entirely. Love it!

Incredible String Band - Hangman's Beuatiful Daughter (mono)
Picked up a cheap old scratchy 56 year old vinyl to have a listen to the allegedly slightly differing mono mix as I do love this release. Gotta be honest, I barely noticed the difference to the stereo version. Maybe I need to listen harder :) I do like owning the cover in all it's 1960's full size laminated glory tho. Gunna put it up in the loo.

Various - Jon Savage ''Fame''- Secret History Of Post-Punk 1978-81
Got several of the Savage comps' always worth a punt as he always turns up a few unheard gems amongst the usual selections. Mind you, hardly unsung, but never get bored of the Pere Ubu song Heart of Darkness.

Various - Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present Winter of Discontent
As above really.

Keep keeping on y'all!
