First of these for a while - recently got back from a trip to India. Hell of a lot of good stuff has come my way in recent weeks, this is just a small sample of what I've been listening to...
Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurt
Really enjoying this. It has a lightness of touch and some gorgeous songs.
King Crimson - Live In Vienna
Saw them on Friday at the Palladium - what a gig. I dragged myself out of my sickbed to see this (I brought a chest infection back from India with me, don't worry, I don't think it's anything serious), and boy was it worth it. Picked up this live 3CD set at the gig and its a stormer. I've also been listening to Discipline and Islands.
Peter Hammill - Over
Edgar Froese - Solo (1974-1983)
Working on a cover version of one of these pieces.
Julian Cope - Jehovahkill
Vinyl:
Earthling Society - Mo The Demon
Last album from UKs greatest psych rockers, and what a way to bow out. This is a contender for album of the year.
Melting Hand - Faces of Earth
Dead Otter - Bridge of Weird
Culto Al Qondor - Templos
All top recent releases, I'd recommend any of these if you get a chance to grab a copy
Hawkwind - Levitation
Vangelis - Earth
Dead Sea Apes and Adam Stone - Warheads
This is a cracker - punk-fuelled psych from DSA with strong vocals from Adam. This feels like an important release to me, a gamechanger for DSA. Good to hear a band hitting out politically amongst all the bland shit.
The Oscillation - Wasted Space
Fantastic groove on this one, particularly side one. Side two is a bit more laid back. Really good stuff though, and I much prefer it to the previous release.
