I'll start that big weekly ball rolling....... CLUSTER - "Cluster 71" An definate unsung classic. Many people would put forward the theory that the first Kraftwerk album must have influenced early Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. Maybe so, but I've always thought that it's this absolute GEM that must have made the biggest impression on all concerned. NURSE WITH WOUND - "She And Me Fall Together In Free Death" Enchanting sounds to sooth a past dull week at work. Heard big chunks of it before, but just bought it recently to totally immerse myself - Bliss. HENRY COW - "Concerts" A long-time fave. The 'Oslo' and 'Groningen' tracks still boggle my noggin after nearly 30 years -Like a sort of... 'British pre-No Wave' circa 1975/6! MARS - Mars 78+ I've always believed that this lot were in fact....from mars..... APHEX TWIN - Ambient Works Vol.2 Don't care what anyone says about Mr.James, I think he's marvellous and this album is an ambient stonker!! Not a big list this week, but enough to make me run around like a headless chicken in my dreams... Have a great week y'all JT ;-)

Well I just moved on from the Throbbing Gristle TG24 set to TG+ and looks like I'm down to the last three discs... And last night (Beltane 'o course) I listened to the first two discs of the Aleister Crowley Satanic Verses box-set. I think there was a discussion on HH about it I only vagely remember. Well I was originally going to see a metal show at the Bug Jar but there were an ugly bunch of strangers there giving bad vibes so I went home not wanting to get involved... So listened to Satanic Verses instead -- second disc were recordings I've heard before but the first seems like modern recordings w/ synths and/or samplers. And I dunno if there's actual recordings of Crowley on that first disc but it reminds me of Schloss Tegal and has about the same effect and whatever. Nothing adverse happened after playing it so-far, but even that's better than a bunch of tatoo-ed uglies giving you dirty looks IMO...

Lawrence Maybe part of that Crowley set you've got includes some of the 'Great Beast Speaks' CD that was on M.O.D. from a few years back. They also released the first CD version of Beausoleil's 'Lucifer Rising'. Here's a review from Hyperreal: _______________________________________________ Aleister Crowley The Great Beast Speaks (Masters of Disgust DISGUST1) CD 23 minutes Ever wondered what the Wickedest Man in the World sounded like? Well, judging by this reissue of the original wax cylinder recordings from 1920, like some crusty old duffer shouting through a megaphone. Little here carries any of the power of Crowley's occult writings, save perhaps the much-sampled The Poet, but it is nice to have these brief souvenirs of the man available again. And look at that running time... Creepy! [M.O.D., c/o Trident Music International, P.O. Box 2903, London N1 3NE; dist. via Rio via Polygram] MG _______________________________________________

Do you have the lp or cd of the Concerts recording? I think the mix on oslo varies though I've not played them back to back. In fact there was a gap of a few years betwen me last hearing the vinyl and getting the ESD cd. But it didn't sound how I remembered it at all. The lp sounds like somebody playing Bitches Brew type stuff on bones or sopmething. The cd mix takes out the sense of space. Grreat cd as it is. Do wish I could find some other live material by the band especially video. I heard their stage set was based on a living room. Stevo

What have I been listening to this week? Van DEr GRaaf Generator Present. Very strong return to form from the reunited band. I think they've changed a bit since they don't seem to be consciously avoiding a groove any more. Walking into college today listening to the lp on my walkman I was wondering if there is much (if any) guitar on it or if what I took to be that was played on other instruments. I know Hammill took up playing it with the later band. Also has me wondering about what other bands have reunited this strongly. Can think of Mission of BUrma and Television. Any others? Fall Totally Wired THe Rough TRade compi. Didn't have quite a bit of this and found it cheap in a HMV sale which is nice. Loads of great stuff on here think it verges on colour instead of the b&w sound I half remembered it as. Pelt Ayahuasca Disc1 Long droney largely instrumental acid drenched folk stuff. Has me wondering what its main influences are. Were there many doing things like this before their advent? Strawbs From The Witchwood. Pretty good in places though the vocalist is an acquired taste and some of this does get a tad monochrome. Rick Wakeman's pretty good on it, as he is so often as a sideman (& I thunk I were a punk). Richard and Lindsa Thompson Pour Down LIke Silver + I want to SEe THe BRight LIghts Tonight Greatdour folk rock from the early 70s. Bright LIghts is one of the best of the genre methinks especially in this remastered version. It's where the original of Calvary CRoss resides, here joined by a long live version as a bonus track. The lp is bolstered by some strange instrumentation, crumhorns and accordians etc but really is rather tasteful Pour Down LIke Silver has R&L as recent sufi converts and is pretty sparse. Apparently Richjard thought he'd add a lot of overdubbing later then thought better of it. Works dashed well anyway. Nick Cave Bsides and rarities. Great to finally get a lot of this. Been wanting the Shane Macgowan collaboeration since it came out. Grat overview. Shelagh mcdonald Stargazer or Let No Man Steal Your THyme disc2. Bunged this on to make a walkman tape. Pretty great folk rock stuff with backing band including R THompson and several Actioin/Mighty Baby types among others. She is a bit like a female NIck DRake and uses the same orchestrator. Lovely. Jackson C FRank Blues Run The Game disc1. Bunged this on the bside of the aforementioned tape. Great folk singer, Especially the '75 material. Stray Time Machine Disc1 Pretty good compi of psychy stuf to melodic hard rock. Sounds in places like the next step after Small Faces/Action mod rock meets far more heavy. Glad I got played sme of their stuff over Xmas, think I might need to invest in the 1st couple of lps separately too. Hawkwind Doremi Fasol Latido Getting into this band, could get much more into them. Was without much of them for ages, think they're one of the greatest things to come out of early 70s britain yum. Nightclub playing a lot of 3rd World Funk including an Afro-Spacerock thing that I'm told comes from the luaka Bop World Psych compi volume 3. So've ordered it. Great heavy guitar, not something i'd expected from the continent at the time possibly greatest track ever heard I thought at the time. Rest of the dj set was pretty great too, he played Fela Kuti's Zombie just before and severaol tracks of Spanish(portuguese?) language rap. Oh yeah my other walkman tape's been Jimi Hendrix live at Berkley/Caspar Brotzmann Home. Both sides are pretty visceral and have guitar as tone far more than classically played. Though Hendrix is far more melodic, Caspar's reflects the primitive artwork tyhat he adoprned his early lps with by sounding like bronosaurus roars. Sure I've played a lot of other stuff but can't think what. Stevo Np Captain Beefheart Click-Clack

LP’S NATACHA ATLAS – Something Dangerous (I’ve been a fan of NA since she wailed on those TGU records and her solo output has been first class, too. I’ve been a bit slow getting this one – from 2003 – but I’m glad I finally managed it. The opening track, Adam’s Lullaby, is a really beautiful thing – and uplifting in it’s own exquisite way) BILLY MACKENZIE – Auchermatic (Recent cd that includes three excellent tracks that he recorded with other people shortly before he died – with Loom (do they actually exist?), Barry Adamson and Apollo 440 (Pain In Any Language is almost unbearably emotional) – and though they’ve all been previously released, it’s great to hear them again. One track here I hadn’t heard before that I love is his stonking version of Annie & Daves Here Comes The Rain.) 45’S JULIAN COPE – The Greatness & Perfection (The title says it all) THE NIGHTINGALES – Devil in the Detail (I saw the doctor about this the other day and as result of his help in weening me off it, I’m now down to two listens a day) NANCY SINATRA – Let Me Kiss You (a pop single in the grand old-fashioned sense) SMOG – Held (Pounding, percussive. One of my fave Smog tracks) STEX – Still Feel The Rain (Joyous! And I love the “Like a knife in the wrong direction” line for some reason) TEARDROP EXPLODES – Bouncing Babies / Treason / Passionate Friend (As Bill Drummond once sang, The Teardrops weren’t they great) Plus a couple of live things – The Fall download mentioned on these pages and the early Teardrops cd that was kindly sent and which brought back some happy memories. Thanks.)
