Chris Forsyth – All Time Present. More ‘classic’ American alt-guitar rock through a psych/prog lens. Another double, it’s bit overwhelming at first, and perhaps a bit over-long, but the quality remains high:

Rustin Man – Drift Code. Did I point out this track is absolutely bloody marvellous? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrGv1d8gFk

The Comet Is Coming – Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery

Dub Sex – Search For The Right Words. Anybody remember these spiky post-punk types from the Joy Division-haunted hinterlands of the ‘80s north-west? A bit like King Of The Slums, but without the violin. Anyway, this is a comp of pretty much everything they did, and it’s rather good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEFqM6nzjrw

Hawkwind – Live at Stonehenge ’77. Cobbled together by me from a couple of the Weird Tape releases (though some claim it’s not from Stonehenge at all). Prime Calvert-era, great version of ‘Damnation Alley’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9dg4MQFczA

David Bowie – Stage (disc 1). Or rather a YouTube-assembled approximation, listened mainly to hear ex-Hawkwind violinist Simon House’s contribution. Ironically, at exactly the same time as the Bowie doc was on BBC2…

Listen With Father:

VA – Scorched Earth. Still merrily indoctrinating the kids in the car, mainly with the Beatles this week, but also dug this out, a very fine comp of ‘funky white rock’ (eeek) from the 70s, with sleevenotes by no less than Chas Chandler I see. Love this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg2aRS6tf_k
