There’s no use crying over milk that’s spilt: The Pointer Sisters S/T - veering between funk and swing, this is a mighty stimulating listen, if a million miles from the pop hits that made their 80s fortune; Tangerine Dream: Dominion Theatre, Nov 1982 - the Tangs had moved well away from the abstraction of their 70s concerts by the time of this performance, which sounds fully formed and quite lyrical. Nice though this is, I prefer their atonal stuff; Gruff Rhys ‘Sadness Sets Me Free’ - another of Rhys’ understated melodic masterpieces. If I was Welsh I’d consider him a national treasure; Blodwyn Pig ‘Ahead Rings Out’ - jazzy, bluesy, rocking and wondrous; Iron Maiden ‘Brave New World’ - Bruce Dickinson’s return in 2000 saw a revitalised Maiden and their finest album since ‘Number Of The Beast’ by my reckoning. This still sounds mint fresh even now; Bob Dylan ‘At Budokan’ - I haven’t felt inclined to invest in the ludicrously overpriced expended edition of this, especially as a few of these reimagined arrangements get on my thrupennies. But when it’s good, it’s good; Van der Graaf Generator ‘Pawn Hearts’ - where calm and chaos cohabit contentedly across three chaotic continents of sound; Mogwai ‘Young Team’ - as radical now as it was 27 years ago. 27 years! Much as I still love them, I don’t think they’ve ever surpassed their debut; Mogwai ‘Happy Songs For Happy People’ - Mogwai’s pop album. Not; Slint ‘Spiderland’ - another epochal post rock epic (though I’ve always thought it owes loads to Sonic Youth); Elton John ‘Honky Chateau’ - one of those early 70s albums that never seems to date. If Reg had retired in 1975 I’d laud him as a legend. Many do anyway; The Fall ‘Perverted By Language’ - I don’t need advice about eating, thank you Mark. I do it all too regularly. But I still enjoy your lo-fi vibes more than ever; Anti-Pasti ‘The Last Call’ - punk’s second wave produced more genuinely punk - in the primal sense - music than the first. This is a good example. More rehearsal might have made a tighter album, but I like the naive approach apparent here; Jokleba ‘Outland’ - pithy free improvisations that provoke, console and sometimes irritate across a very individual album; Schumann: Symphony no.1 (Concertgebouw/Bernard Haitink) - Schumann was not Haitink’s natural composer but his interpretation has power and insight; Schumann: Papillons, Op.2 (Alfred Cortot) - it’s been said that Cortot’s wrong notes were more musical than most pianists' right ones. I think I can hear what that means; Elgar: In The South (Alassio) (VPO/John Eliot Gardiner) - great to hear the Vienna Phil play Elgar. Shame the interpretation is so clunky. What course is there left but to live? Happy trails Dave x

But I still enjoy your lo-fi vibes more than ever In the impossible question of what might be my favourite Fall song, Eat Y'Self Fitter is a contender. Up the stairs Mister.

Sea Of Mirrors – The Coral Yet another Coral album that delivers the goods. On and on they, class song after class song. Six – Mansun I know this one that Mansun fans and Paul Draper himself rate most highly, but...yes, I appreciate its ambition but I still prefer the maligned pop album, Little Kix. Yeah, yeah. I'm a pop tart at heart. Johnny The Fox – Thin Lizzy Hugely rated at the time, but though it has its moments I've never rated it anywhere near as highly as Jailbreak. Also... Ultra Truth – Daniel Avery Brutal – Black Uhuru Glassforms – Bruce Brubaker / Max Cooper Two Seven's Clash - Culture 17 Seconds – The Cure Fuse – EBTG Copy Copy – Gruppo Sportivo S/T EP - Hister Haunted Head – Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds A 60th Anniversary Sampler – The Kinks For Leolanda – Maria Moles Texas Fever – Orange Juice 4 Hands – Roedelius & Story Jeopardy – The Sound All Fall Down – The Sound Everything Was Beautiful – Spiritualized Themenininblack – The Stranglers The Comeback Special: Live At The Royal Albert Hall – The The Mojo Working: UK R&B Explosion (this month's Mojo cd) – V/A Studio One Space-Age Dub Special – V/A Sniper – Alan Vega / Marc Hurtado 154 – Wire Cool It Down – The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
