Literally a quiet week as I have had a problem with my pc audio On the upside I've had a chance to give a proper listen to two really interesting records courtesy of Mooncat that fit nicely with all the old ECM stuff I have been trawling through and my renewed interest in the early Bathory lps Turisas - The Varangian Way Shining - Blackjazz and promo copies of a couple of really good / promising records that were sent to me on spec by a start-up label based in Western Australia Intern - Wake Up & Smell The Coffin The Joybringers - Thrum, Twang and Threnody and Pat Metheny - Orchestrion Johann Johannsson - Englaborn Samuel Katarro - The Halfduck Mystery Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me

Boult's last (1978) recording of The Planets - which I have on LP only - is currently available on a mid-price EMI 'Great Recordings Of The Century' CD, i.e. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Holst-Planets-Elgar-Enigma-Variations/dp/B00005YUBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1270456184&sr=1-1 The Dorati Minneapolis 'Rite' - an old Mercury recording - seems to be currently unavailable, but I should be able to provide you with a copy if you're happy to email me your address. As regards your comments re Van Morrison, serious food for thought there. I agree that 'Veedon Fleece' is very much in the same ethereal ball park as 'Astral Weeks', but had never considered 'Common One' to be likewise. But the more I think about it, you may have a very valid point. Whatever, you've encouraged me to play 'Common One' again, and that can never be a bad thing...

They seem to naturally flow in that order for me, with the same interaleted themes. Although they are all reflective, Astral Weeks has a largely fresh morning/spring feel, Veedon Fleece has an overall autumnal celtic afternoon vibe, and Common One is perfect for a reflective fireside. They all have a multi-seasonal feel, but almost as from a different vantage point re. youth, young adulthood and middle age perspective as well. Common One I think is deepest Van. Summertime In England is going to be played very loud today!

Pixies - Bossanova Hoorah! Hadn't heard this for ages, really enjoyed it. Broadcast - Tender Buttons From the library after sopmeone here mentioned Broadcast. Hadn't heard them before, but liked this a lot. Reminded me of Stereolab, but with a bit more graunch in the synth sound. Eleh - Location Momentum My absolute favourite evening listen at the moment. Really haunting and hypnotic. Oneohtrix Point Never - Rifts Still getting regular plays. Another late night fave. Coil - Live One Really getting back into this again. White Hills - S/T The Heads - Tilburg Elvis Costello - Punch the Clock Bob Marley - Kaya Sunn O)))/Boris - Altar Fab as ever.

'The Happening'. Wonderful, goes very well back to back with 'Velouria'. :-)

As is a good deal of their output - one of the best live bands I've seen ever ever ever!
