Hawkwind – Doremi Fasol Latido probably my fave Hawkwind, absolute gem, never tire of this
Also Quark Strangeness & Charm-finally replaced my battered vinyl with the 2cd remaster, should have done this soon as it was issued, this is how you should remaster an album, all the extras are worth a listen, sounds great, packaged well , 5 stars for Atomhenge, will be checking out the other releases post-haste

Black Sheep –KMSA still floating my boat etc

Cathedral-Garden of Unearthly Delights-cheap as chips from HMV with a scratch & sniff disc, BIG ROCK record, with a 25 min progmetal epic to finish, now that Sleep are mostly defunct Cathedral are the worlds best Sabbath tribute with the exception of Heaven & Hell

Led Zeppelin-How the West Was Won-This is how to release a classic live band on CD

Deep Purple-Live In Japan-see above

Sabbath-Live at Last –this isn’t, I’m biased towards the Sabs as I love everything except the Gillan abortion but even I can see that Sabbath could be better served in the live CD field than with this mish mash. Still it’s Sabbath and therefore you must worship at its feet

Crippled Black Phoenix-Night Raider-quality band, should be a household name, unfortunately the kids are too busy deciding if Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite to listen to decent music. Youth is indeed wasted on the young

James Blackshaw –Walking Into Gothenburg-live doc of 12string twiddler-v.nice indeed, must catch up on his latest releases

Fearthainne-S/T Cascadian acoustic black metal, I love it, yet to find anyone else who is equally impressed [or even a little bit impressed]

Moss- Tomb of the Blind Drugged-does what it says on the tin, contains a Discharge cover that sounds exactly like Discharge would if they were drugged, blind & in a tomb, as mentioned already does what it says on the tin

Diodaar-The Ash Falls Like Snow On A Hillside what a lovely record, reminds me of a grim Tangerine Dream, I have it on good authority that they have a new & improved CD out soon, I’m excited , you should be too.

IS That the Light I See…?...Or Is It The Gleam In The Devils Eye- N/E supergroup combining Waz Hoola and Bong/Lobster Priest/Basillica just about any band in the NE man M.Vest. A cracking slice of Drone Metal. And brilliant live as I found out last night. Only me though it seems as the audience consisted of the bands mates, a couple of staff of the venue and me. But modest crowd size apart it was superb. It also included something called a Sarz [sic?], which is Turkish. M.Vest is I suspect a bit of a Sabbath head, so we were treated to something that sounded like Tony Iommi fronting a Turkish brothel house band, kept me off the streets & out of trouble and I got a bbr>voicecoil cd which has listed on the instruments played ‘pre –stressed concrete’ it is I’m happy to report unlikely to topple Michael Jackson from his throne as King of Pop, it is also unlikely to trouble the portals of the houses of tune or melody either, but that has never bothered me, and if you are of the same ilk and fancy listening to some overly reverbed rainfall in Whitley Bay get ye forthwith to the home of bbr>voicecoil.
High point of the evening was a photographer appeared upping the crowd by 20%, a mysterious lady having appeared to boost the audience of 2 band members’ friends & old man who should know better. If the photos ever appear I’ll be easy to spot, I was the bald one :^)

I would like to point out that Mr Photographer was not just some bloke doing holiday snaps, he was a full on shape thrower with all the square finger poses and light level technical stuff, he appeared as if by magic, and departed equally mysteriously after doing his photog bit
