Julian Cope - Rave o lution EP, Interpreter. Such is fate, I didn't particularly enjoy the latter this time
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
The Charlatans - Some Friendly. ?
The Cure - 4:13 Dream. It's improving, I'll give it that. Maybe not down to them though
Coldcut - Sound Mirrors
The Chameleons - Strange Times
Cluster - Sowiesoso. Very much getting to appreciate these guys now
Pharoah Sanders - Karma
Can - Ege Bamyasi, Monster Movie
Caribou - Andorra
Michael Chapman - The resurrection and revenge of Clayton Peacock
Deerhunter - Cryptograms. Superb psych
Elbow - A Cast of Thousands. This is pretty good. Don't think much of his radio show though, but then I'm full of love like that
Brian Eno - The Shutov Assembly, Nervenet. The former wins out
The Earlies - Those were the Earlies
The Editors - The Back Room
Espers - II
Cluster & Eno - S/T
Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things. Nearly alright
Kevin Ayers - The Unfairground. Knowing the vague events of his passing, this takes on a really dark tone and suddenly the clues were all there
The Flaming Lips - Embryonic. Can't make out if this is a dog's dinner or has one or two tricks up its sleeves. Not a fav anyway
Fuck Buttons - Street Horrsing, Tarot Sport. The latter wins out. The former gets thrown away, but then it was only a cdr
The Grails - Doomsday Holidays
Sarah Gillespie - In the current climate. Don't mind it being in my collection that much
Philip Glass - The Light, Heroes Symphony
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City Stories from the Sea. A few times actually
808 state - Ex:El. Best I've ever heard it. Maybe I should take the praise for that?!!!
Akron/Family - Meek Warrior
Alabama 3 - Outlaw. First time i've given this a proper airing and glad I made the effort
Amadou & Miriam - Dimanche a Bamako. Jolly affair
Bas Jan - Yes I Jan. Serafina has proper indie writing chops. Love her lyrics and the songs aren't that bad either. One of my albums of the year so far
Bernhard Cribbins bits and bobs
Beta Band - XFM Session
Bjork - Volta. Quite enjoyed this. Much more than Vespertine which is overdone IMO
Black Submarine - New Shores. Moody Indie/Alt Rock. Not bad as it goes
