John Foxx - Glimmer - Best Of

Julian Cope - Peggy/ Jehovahkill

Ozrics - Pungent Effulgent

Dollkraut - Holy Ghost People

Duir - Stout Guardian Of The Door

Death In Vegas - Satan's Circus
My only problem with this album is that it wears it's influences a little too openly. Hell, like Elastica and the Wire/Stranglers debacle, I imagine Kraftwerk got more than a few bob from a couple of these tracks.

Shit and Shine - Total Shit!

Kungens Man - Dat & Nat
Really liking this bunch from Sweden, kinda like a more ragged take on Post Rock with the odd Morphine-esque breathy/jazzy sax and heavy riffage interlude. It's a 'concept' album designed to take you through night and day (hence the title). https://kungensman.bandcamp.com/album/dag-natt

DAF - Alles Ist Gut

Have a better one!

Six Organs of Admittance @ Miss Peapods 09. Could be my favourite ever gig, but that's probably in exaggeration so probably not. Blimmin good though

Smoke Fairies @ Exeter Phoenix 11

Shearwater @ End of the Road 09

Sleepy Sun @ Holland somewhere 09

Sunburned Hand of the Man @ Miss Peapods 08

Slowdive - S/T Has some moments - probably my fav being Star Roving

Sonic Youth - Dirty. Need to get more SY. I like what I've heard

Tears for Fears - Song from the big chair. Has several hits on it which I pretty much all like in the main

Melanie De Biasio – Lillies. More moody, brooding post-jazz from the Belgian chanteuse. Not as exploratory/out there as last year’s 25 minute ‘Blackened Cities’, but often claustrophobically intimate, in a good way. https://melaniedebiasio.bandcamp.com/album/lilies

Charles Howl – My Idol Family. This is the kind of light psych-inflected indie pop that I normally run screaming from, but I actually quite like this, probably because it possesses a pleasingly caustic edge in places, a bit like early Auteurs or Blur: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hhZ8gQnBx48

Scanner – Fibolae. Hmm, the kind of album that would have sounded pretty groundbreaking 20 years ago, but now… not so much.

Monolord – Rust. Was Cope once a fan of these guys? Not terrible, but poor man’s Electric Wizard springs to mind. Didn’t make it to the end.

Esmerine – Mechanics Of Dominion. This was also on its way to an early bath, being that kind of earnest neo-classical stuff mentioned last week that really wants to be Taken Seriously, but it dramatically improved halfway through with a healthy injection of Rock Wig-Out, the title track being particularly nice: https://esmerine.bandcamp.com/track/mechanics-of-dominion

The Belbury Circle – Outward Journeys. Loving this, Ghost Box are going through a particular purple patch at the mo. Brilliant track: https://soundcloud.com/ghost-box/the-belbury-circle-forgotten

Trojan Horse – Fukashima Surfer Boys. Worth lending an ear if you think ‘modern prog’ has stalled with Steven Wilson. https://trojanhorse.bandcamp.com/album/fukushima-surfer-boys

Cluster & Eno – s/t

Listen With Father:

More rock hits from my youth lovingly recycled for my daughters. ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’ (Rainbow) and ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ (Joan Jett) particularly popular, surprised both haven’t been given some Glee-esque make-over by whoever has replaced One Direction in the affections of the nation’s teenage girls (not that I’d know if they had)

T is for…

Tarentel – The Order Of Things. First wave post-rock, mathy, droney, orchy stuff, pretty decent but not quite as engaging as it wants to be. On saying that, I remember sampling the hell out of the cellos on this track: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xjMLTMtrzhM

Theorem – Nano. First wave minimal techno on Richie Hawtin’s label, like Plastikman with a bit more colour, quite hypnotic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e7N07Ym50jE Stuff like this and the Tarentel now seem utterly ubiquitous and therefore a bit devalued, but when they first came out, it genuinely sounded like they were at least trying to do something different.
