Lumerians – Call Of The Void. San Francisco space rock/post-punk/psych techno types return after a long absence. A bit more electronic than before, and not exactly boundary-pushing, but they’re one of those groups that can be relied upon to always deliver something listenable and interesting: https://fuzzclub.bandcamp.com/album/call-of-the-void
E – Negative Work. Various veterans of the US post-hardcore produce album that sounds remarkably like what they were doing 25 years ago, only in a good way: https://abandcallede.bandcamp.com/album/negative-work
Arctic Monkeys – Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino. Thought I’d give this a listen on the Spot following the reviews… It verges on pastiche, though not sure what of, and Alex Turner’s Bowie meets John Cooper Clarke delivery is quite something, but it’s certainly different. Not an album I’d rush back to, but would be happy to hear it again…
Tangerine Dream – Miracle Mile OST
VA – Winds Of Time: NWOBHM 1979-1985 CDs 2 & 3. Best lyric in a HM song since Rainbow’s ‘All Night Long’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7Afj7jmHk
VA – Bright Ambassadors Of Morning
The Vinyl Countdown – F:
Faith No More – We Care A Lot. Got this, FNM’s indie debut, when the shop I used to go to in Leicester had sold out of Introduce Yourself… Difficult to convey now just how different and weirdly brilliant FNM sounded at the time, and this album shows they were pretty much fully-formed from the off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnS9wDQowJ0
