In the nightclub of my mind I’m doing cocaine in the cloakroom: Roddy Frame ‘Surf’ - a man blessed with a melodic gift that even Mozart could envy. It’s been far too long since we had new music from this dude. And what a lovely album this is; Gruff Rhys ‘Sadness Sets Me Free’ - any new record that I have to hear at least twice a week is more than likely to figure in my end of year lists. In Roddy’s continued absence thank God for Gruff; Kirsty MacColl ‘See That Girl’ - damn-near definitive 6CD box of hits, rarities and extended mixes. Guaranteed smiles at every juncture. She’s sadly missed; Procol Harum ‘Exotic Birds and Fruit’ - Chris Thomas-produced album that sounds as fresh as the day it was minted, half a century ago. I just love this album; KK’s Priest ‘The Sinner Rides Again’ - pure, unadulterated metal is all here. The lyrics are laughably naff, but who cares? This blisters. As does Saxon ‘Hell, Fire & Damnation’ - comments EXACTLY as above. Guilty pleasure? Naah. Too old for that; The Teardrop Explodes ‘Wilder’ - the singer in this band sounded promising. Wonder what became of him? Seriously though, the Teardrops’ second album just grows in my affections as the years go by; Can ‘Live 1973-1977’ - I hadn’t heard any of Can’s live series until this week, via this fabulously low-fi ‘Uncut’ cover mount CD. Jeez, this is revelatory, especially the Paris ‘73 take on ‘Vitamin C’. I’ve always thought that Jaki Leibezeit had God-given talent. Now I wonder if he could be, in fact, God himself; David Sylvian ‘Blemish’ - his starkest, emotionally direct, most atonal utterance. Gets better with every listen - and I’ve listened to it a lot. In fact, I believe it to be the man’s finest work; Herbie Hancock ‘Secrets’ - one of Herbie’s funkiest offerings: very right-on Seventies with loads of wah-wah wonderment; Poulenc: Piano Concerto (Cristina Ortiz/CBSO/Louis Fremaux) - unashamedly lyrical 20th century concerto played as well as I could imagine here; Dunstable: Motets (Hilliard Ensemble) - John Dunstable was arguably the first great English composer. His vocal works are hypnotic and enthralling; Beethoven: Symphony no.3 (Budapest Fest Orchestra/Ivan Fischer) - beautifully played and recorded Eroica, maybe not the most dramatic available but highly musical and satisfying. Ditto its accompanying Coriolan Overture; Walton: Symphony no.1 (New Philh/Sir Malcolm Sargent) - always in the critical shadow of Previn’s classic recording of this most un-English sounding symphony, but every bit as enthralling in its more measured approach; Wagner: Siegfried Idyll (ECO/Vladimir Ashkenazy) - one lovely tune after another, sounding even more beautiful in a chamber orchestra context; Set me free from my vain and selfish ways. Sweet week all Dave x

Howdy! Broadcast - Spell Blanket (Demos 2006-2009) Enjoyable if not essential delve into the various tape and minidisc experiments that never made it to proper recordings covering mentioned period. Was a nice listening party over bandcamp on Thursday eve prior to official release. The vibe of one of the better tracks 'March of the Fleas' shares the same tonal palate as Copes Head hung Low (well to my ears). I guess it's for completists really (which I do count myself as). https://broadcast.bandcamp.com/album/spell-blanket-collected-demos-2006-2009 The Woodleigh Research Facility - Phonox Nights Andrew Weatherall & Nina Walsh. Acid tones and kraut vibes in a danceable fashion. https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/product/phonox-nights The Orb - UFOFF Best of with edits and versions Worth the paltry used price for ambient version of Towers of Dub alone. FSOL - Teachings From The Electronic Brain As above - versions and edits of all yer FSOL faves. Goat - Oh Death! Less afro funk, more garage fuzz, Good Stuff! https://goat.bandcamp.com/album/oh-death Various Artists Same as last week really, both Future Kraut comps and.... Morvern Callar OST I think of all the film OST's using other folks tunes, this is my fave. I mean, you've got a coupla Aphex Twin trax, Lee Perry, Broadcast, Stereolab, Boards of Canada, Holger Czuckay and Can to name most of em. Is it obvious it's on WARP? Hope you get a chance to enjoy the sun. Has Spring finally Sprong? xx

Goddodin is deffo my fav Test Dept release, though I realise it's a collaboration with theatre performance group Brith Gof. Sadly missed the shows at the time, think one took place in a colliery in Wales, must have been amazing. The last track Truan Yw Gennyf Fi (Lament) has some great prose in it... "It is a grief to me, after toil, suffering deaths agony. And a second heavy grief to me, to have seen our men fall headlong. And long sighing and lamentation, after the fiery men of our land Treon and Gugon, Gweion and Gullagen, Bravest in their station, mighty in Combat. May theirs souls, after battle be welcome in the land of heaven, home of plenty". Apologies for the spelling of names, dunno if they are correct or not, I spelled the phonetically. Stumbled across a documentary about it all on Utwat .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8NplXP6uPo
