Been up hill and down dale this week, trying to get my lung capacity back after nasty asthma crap. Seems to be working!. Hefty hike across the Long Myndd and back up through Nut Batch, a wonderful fairy dell of a valley, that gets to be a slog towards the end....worth it though, as it's not visited very much judging by the narrow sheep track. Truley unspoiled. Tuneses along the way and there and back went something like this.....
Broadcast - Tender Buttons/Ha Ha Sound
Think these two wonderful albums really speak to me during the Autumn. For me, there's a tangible flavour of loss, sadness and the passing of time to both albums.
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules.
I've a massive soft spot for this Dio fronted Sabbathian rocker. Seem to remember title track was in 'adult' animated movie 'Heavy Metal', which is why I probably picked it up originally way back when.
Iggy - New Values
Various - Reverb Conspiracy Vol:3
Bruce Gilbert - Ex Nihlo
Ex Wire experimenter releases new record and it's pretty good, shock horror!! There's a some great drones on it that remind me of the Timemachines album or 'Soliloquy for Lilith' era Nurse With Wound. Good stuff.

Dope fear Fuck Authority - Seven Disquieting Dirges...
Enjoying this. First track is the gravy for me thus far, but I'm sure the rest will reveal itself in time. Love that he's using the cheapo Korg Monoton Delay all over these DOPE releases, it's an unsung piece of gadgetry.
Also, Whose the cheeky sod whose put it up on discogs fer 19 odd quid plus postage when it's still available at ES for much less ;)
Cope - Rite At Ya
Probably the most stripped down of the Rite series, though still much to enjoy here (particularly like Boskawen-Un). Almost has a proto DOPE feel to it. If you put the band names of his more outre releases together you get QUEEN ELIZABETH, RITE, DOPE. (Made me laugh anyway.... I'll get me coat....)

Fu Manchu - Clone of the Universe
Last couple of FuChu albums have been almost as good as the early stuff in being riff heavy monsters, Luuuurve it!
Clones - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEN1YLBw80w
Well that's about it, keep on keepin' on y'all!
