Seem to be in 'ambient' mode at the mo, hence....

Dorothy Moskowitz & the United States of Alchemy - Under an Endless Sky

In Gowan Ring - The Glinting Spade/ The Twin Trees
Not played these in the longest time, probably over 10 years at least, dunno why, cos' both are a fabbo smoosh of neo folk atmospheres. Pity that the World Serpent label went sideways, they used to put out interesting stuff, without the vague flirty fascist whiff of labels doing similar stuff today like Cold Spring.

Eno - Wobble - Spinner
Think ole John put all he hard work in on this one whilst Eno as usual drew the acolades.

Jah Wobble - The Bus Routes Of Sarf London
Nice idea, working up songs on an ipad on route to somewhere, though not being familiar with the bus eoutes of South London I couldn't say wether he captures their essence or not, or even if that was the intention. Could have just been an excercise in working outside the box. Anyway, decent enough listen, though prefer the more recent 'A Brief History Of Now'.

Love and Rockets - Sweet F.A / My Dark Twin
Considering my mispent youth as a rabid Bauhaus fan, Iwas never the biggest L&R fan, esp after they emigrated and went all American rawk, but these two hit the spot nicely. S>F>A> Originally released in 97' long after I stopped paiying them any interest gets a justified reissue. The new sister album of outtakes etc... is equally entrancing. Mind you, I still do love the proto L&R get up that is Tones on Tail.

Nick Turner - The Final Frontier
Particularly like the quieter 'Back To The Ship', which manages to sound like half a dozen different Hawkwind tracks all at once.

Children Of Alice - S/T
Wonder if there will ever be a follow up to this meandering beauty?

Off on a break in a week or so, saw a recommendation on here for Mick Houhtons 'Fried & Justified...' so picked up a copy and it's gonna wend it's way with me. Looking forward to it.

Have better one!
