SHINY BEAST – Captain Beefheart
Not sure how this is rated today, as I seem to recall his latter-day stuff wasn’t revered as much as his earlier work, but I love this LP. Sounds better than it ever did - to me at least.
SATAN’S CIRCUS – Death In Vegas
I liked this one a lot when it came out. It seemed a real return to form after Scorpio Rising which seemed a bit disappointing after the fabulous Contino Sessions. Even so, I've felt that I've not played this as much as it deserved (which I guess is probably true of too many records these days!). So I dug it out and I was right. It is good. In fact those Krautrock-like beats sounds even better than I remembered. It’s gonna get far more listens from now on.
BACK IN DENIM – Denim
And there were Osmonds. Lots of Osmonds. Everywhere. Had forgotten there was a track called Bubblehead!
DEUTSCHE ELEKTONISHE MUSIK – V/A
Especially Amon Düül II’s Wie Der Wind Am Ende Einer Strasse.
