Thom Yorke – Suspiria. Lots of droning and ominous strings/choirs, but blimey, the two big ‘songs’ are just beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTZl9KMjbrU / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27c3JaZq4_c

You Tell Me – s/t. New project from bloke from Field Music and female friend. Not really dug the last two FM albums, but liked a lot of this. It’s that ‘adult chamber pop’ sound, but it’s edgy rather than polite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoGf6EgQ6dc

Hawklords – Brave New World. Never heard anything before by this Hawkwind spin-off (kind of) band. Perfectly decent space psych, with the odd Calvert-esque moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwfbReQTsRU

Herself – Rigel Playground. Bloke from JuJu’s other band. Kind of baroque acoustic psych, with guest appearance from Mercury rev bloke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcKB20b70NA

VA – Black Mountain Sides. MOJO folk/blues comp, usual mixed bag, though nothing terrible. Good to be reminded of this song by Gwenifer Raymond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfLJvXNeY-M (love how pissed off she looks throughout)

Sherpa – Tigris & Euphrates

Tangerine Dream – Electronic Meditation / Alpha Centauri

Hawkwind – Space Ritual Sundown V.2

Paul Kantner/Jefferson Starship – Blows Against The Empire. Never heard this before. Interesting, but not really my bag…

Live:

King Crimson – Bournemouth Pavilion. Jammy bugger that I am, saw them last night at a Friends & Family show. They seemed particularly serious this time around, though pleased to hear both ‘Discipline’ and ‘Indiscipline” get an airing.
