Lots of new stuff…

Crippled Black Phoenix – Great Escape. Latest album from Floydian gloom merchants. You sometimes wish for a change of pace/mood, but it’s still a pretty impressive work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGC6444NMj8

Alexander Tucker – Don’t Look Away. Much prefer AT’s solo stuff to Grumbling Fur. Much the same here as on previous albums ie. moonage folktronica, but that’s not a criticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2bkKrQkfFY

Orions Belte – Mint. Laid-back library psych from yet another Norwegian jazz/rock crew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV6mrRj4CZg

Hawkwind – Road To Utopia. Ah, the HW acoustic album. Except they let Mike ‘Wombling Free’ Batt and Eric ‘Enoch Was Right’ Clapton into the studio as well, much to the consternation of some Hawkfans. In truth, there’s a lot here you’d never want to hear again, but ‘The Watcher’ and ‘Down Through The Night’ are actually rather great.

Soft Machine – Hidden Details. The first ‘official’ SM album in 37 years (though there’s been loads of ‘might-as-well-be-SM’ albums in the interim), and blimey, much like the revamped Gong, it’s a bit of a killer: https://softmachine-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/hidden-details-hd

Møster! – States Of Minds. Two CDs worth of avant jazz skronk, featuring Motorpsycho people. Large sections of “get on with it!” punctuated by some frustratingly cool stuff.

Matthew Shaw – InsideOutside. Nice drone by HH parish dweller: https://texlahoma.bandcamp.com/album/inside-outside

Plinth – Music For Smalls Lighthouse. Liked this a lot more on second listen, requires proper attention: https://iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-smalls-lighthouse

Gryphon – Raindances. Repackaging of first four albums. I had somehow never heard Gryphon before this. It’s as you’d expect – a bit too hey-nonny-nonny in places, but much to warm the heart of any 70s prog fan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S08vAfuJTdc
