Paddy Kingsland - The Changes (my RSD 2018 Holy Grail! - I've been wanting this full soundtrack for years, the previously available 5-minute 'Changes Suite' being a tantalising sampler. Even then, I wasn't expecting a full 80-minute double album, featuring every musical cue in its entirety. For the casual listener it may be too much of a good thing, and could easily be pruned down to 2 side-long suites, creating a mid-70s pastoral prog opus to rival Mike Oldfield or Bo Hansson, but wonderful to have it at last). Delius - Brigg Fair / On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring / The Walk To The Paradise Garden / A Song Of Summer Stravinsky - The Rite Of Spring / Divertimento (The Fairy's Kiss) Pentangle - Basket Of Light Michael Rother - Flammende Herzen Tangerine Dream - Zeit Tangerine Dream - Atem Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation Tim Hardin - Painted Head Tim Hardin - Nine Can - Soundtracks Michael Chapman - Savage Amusement John Cale - Paris 1919 John Cale - Fear Popol Vuh - Aguirre Ash Ra Tempel - Inventions For Electric Guitar The Human League - Octopus Fleetwood Mac - Mirage Friends - Fragile Paddy Kingsland - Fourth Dimension

Chas Jankel - My Occupation (Best of) Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool Dave Edmunds - Repeat When Necessary Julian Cope - Skellington 3 - Stonking collection of songs. One area where I have to violently disagree with Julian though - tinned spaghetti on toast is STILL a very satisfying tea. Daniel Avery - Song for Alpha - Liking this pulsey, trancey techno very much. Rothko - Blood Demands More Blood. Extremely atmospheric & brooding drone & bass. Mark Beazley calls it his darkest album yet and it's easy to see why. Terrific. St Etienne - Songs for Mario's Cafe. The first collection St Etienne compliled, I think. Starts with Tony Hatch's theme from 'Man Alive'. Love it.

Bjork - Vespertine. Doing my head in as we speak, but then I find myself in a bad mood for whatever reason! Just seems a bit overblown and epic to me - too much emoting for my liking. Ash Ra Tempel - Schwingungen. Quite tasty thanks. Dan Auerbach - Keep it hid. Has its rootsy bluesy moments I guess Akron/Family - Meek Warrior. Ah, my old trusty friends. Never disappoints. Cosmic Jokers - S/T. S'alright 13& God - S/T. Nice bit of tuneful and intelligent hip hop. Neil Young - After the Goldrush, This is Nowhere, Harvest, On the Beach, Tonight's the Night, Zuma, Comes a Time. I think On the Beach won the non existent contest for being bestest this time around. First time it has done that... Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge & Hot Rats. Animal Collective - Sung Tongs The Associates - Sulk. Growing on me to the extent that I can stomach the production now.

Virginia Wing – Ecstatic Arrow. OK, so the singer may still sound like a dead ringer for Trish Keenan (or occasionally a very English Kim Gordon), and there is a retro futurist vibe (though also a futurist futurist vibe too), but VW prove that they’re more than just Broadcast disciples here. Excellent forward-facing avant pop, there’s even horns on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtR5gZbs8R0 Lunatic Soul – Under The Fragmented Sky. Side project from bloke out of Polish proggers Riverside. That might not be selling it, but this is actually quite nice, and for the most part, commendably restrained. One for fans of Steven Wilson’s more contemplative material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwQqCEAGr6U Maurizio Abate – Standing Waters. Italian guitar picker in the tradition of John Fahey. Rather good: https://boringmachines.bandcamp.com/album/maurizio-abate-standing-waters A Hawk And A Hacksaw – Forest Bathing The Advisory Circle – Ways Of Seeing Nest Egg – Nothingness Is Not A Curse The Left Outsides – All That Remains Skydive Trio – Sun Sparkle The Brackish – Firm But Fair Gonga – s/t. Quickly pulled from the archive before jumping in the car. It is of course flippin’ awesome, a riff-tastic West Country take on early QOTSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCEaFiYZDLo The Vinyl Countdown – D Drowning Pool – Satori. From 1987, when I was listening pretty much exclusively to American bands (err, and Gaye Bykers On Acid), mostly of the post-hardcore persuasion. Drowning Pool however were a bunch of arty neo-psychedelic types from San Francisco (and most definitely not the nu-metal band that came later). This was their sprawling double album debut which I now realise was actually a compilation of tracks they’d released on cassette over the previous few years. Lots of super-deep flanged bass, chorusy guitars and gated drums, it’s like a folk gothic take on the early 4AD sound. One of those albums where the band had clearly created a little world around themselves and were intent on doing their own thing, come what may, which possibly explains why they’ve dwindled into obscurity. But it’s a real treasure trove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTb7iFflQJM Live: Tangerine Dream – Union Chapel, Islington. Rather unexpectedly (a mate texted to say he had a spare ticket), I found myself in the lovely surroundings of the Union Chapel to witness TD’s first UK show post-Edgar. Never seen them before, and it was pretty great, if inevitably a little noodly in places. I also felt a little sorry for the violin lady, who stood centre stage the entire (two and a half hour) gig, but didn’t get to do very much… However, they did a cracking version of ‘Stratosfear’, and even better, they played ‘White Eagle’, which I consider to be a perfect piece of electronic music. Great light show too!
