Free 'Songs Of Yesterday' - outtakes, remixes, alternative versions a go-go. Drool;

Wishbone Ash 'Distillation' - fine, one stop shop of everything you'd need from the terminally unhip (but great) gods of twin guitar-based classic raawwwcckk;

Richard Sinclair 'R.S.V.P.' - lost classic from the archbishop of the Canterbury Scene, with all of the great man's melodic subtlety and warmth in abundance;

Camel ' I Can See Your House From Here' - not one of their better efforts, but there are still a couple of goodies here and Jan Schelhaas is on good form;

King Crimson 'Islands' - it's took me an awfully long time to get into this, but get into this I finally have, though I still find 'Ladies Of The Road' woeful. Never mind, all of side one is fabulous and the long title track is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard by anyone. Incredible that a vocalist as gifted as Boz Burrell went on to make his name as a four-in-the-bar, root-noted bassist. Such are the ways of falling into bad company, I suppose;

Genesis 'Trespass' - this pastoral rock classic - and 'Selling England' - are the only Genesis albums worth bothering with as far as I'm concerned. VdGG were, and ARE, so much more intense and individual. But I wouldn't be without this, especially 'White Mountain' and 'Stagnation';

Loop 'Wolf/Flow' - searing Peel session performances from the doyens of repetitious drones;

Incredible String Band 'Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending' - late gem from the unsung Island years;

Rory Gallagher 'Calling Hard' - full on double live bootleg capturing the man's raw passion and energy to the max. I dig this more than any of Rory's official live releases, fine though they are;

Gilgamesh 'Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into' - good second album from one of the Canterbury Scene's lesser known acts, featuring some typically lyrical bass playing from the great Hugh Hopper. Hope Esoteric get around to remastering the first album too, which on my old Caroline CD sounds really flat in comparison to this.

Bernstein 'Mass' - the recent Kristjan Jarvi recording of this has brought out the merits of what remains a ludicrously over the top and indulgent mishmash of genres. The "rock" elements here remain almost comically twee, but there's so many catchy tunes and moments of downright nerve in evidence here I can't resist this. I intend to get the new Naxos recording of this as well, as this more than any other "classical' (lol) piece will surely sound totally different every time it's performed, such is the variety of delights and abominations therein. Lenny was the man!

And that's me for another week. Good health and good listening, friends.

Dave

TRACE ELEMENTS – Akatombo
UNCONFIRMED REPORTS – Akatombo

THE STARS WE ARE – Marc Almond

MONTICELLO – The Bastards

BLACK SHEEP AT THE BBC - Black Sheep
THE UNRULY IMAGINATION – Black Sheep

HOURS – David Bowie
Top notch Bowie LP. No, I mean it. He was bang on form with this one.

THE SINGLES – The Clash

IT’S LOVE (Trippin’) – Goldtrix Presents Andrea Brown
Classic dancey single from a few years back.

THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE - Low
TRUST – Low

PROTECTION – Massive Attack

HALLUCINATION ENGINE - Material

THE SECRETS OF ME – Andy Nice
New-ish release, predominantly instrumental set with orchestral leanings. Really good.

VERY – Pet Shop Boys
One of my fave PSB’S LP’s. Great pop songs and a great dancey bonus disc to boot.

SLOW TRAIN TO DAWN – The The
I always thought this sounded a bit Teardoppy. Great single!

RIDE THE WILD SURF – V/A
Cheap surf compilation with the likes of the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, Trashmen and The Chantays wonderful Pipeline.

MPJO PRESENTS SOUTHERN SOUL – V/A

Also had an Iggy Pop Morning:
A fairly random selection of Iggy tracks...
Tight Pants / Baby / China Girl / I’m A Conservative / Squarehead / Little Electric Chair / Cry For Love / I Wanna Live / Mask
Enjoyed them all with the possible exception of I’m A Conservative. Mask, from the otherwise not terribly good Beat Em Up, is fabulous. Like The Stooges playing PIL’s Banging The Door. Or something.

john foxx - from trash / cathedral oceans 3 / in mysterious ways

ultravox(!) - first/ hahaha/ slow motion

wooden shjips - contact

george harrison - all things must pass

foxx - quiet man - really enjoyed this spoken word/accompanied disc
