Donovan - Sunshine Superman Donovan - Mellow Yellow Kate Bush - Never For Ever Julian Cope - Saint Julian Julian Cope - My Nation Underground (first time I've actually listened to these two albums in their entirety - that late 80s production sound is so hard on the ears I can't quite believe we tolerated it at the time, and there are some uncharacteristically cheesy moments, but the good songs are very good indeed, especially the title track of SJ). Julian Cope - Skellington Julian Cope - Droolian (what a breath of fresh air these are after that rigid sterile sound of the previous two albums) The Move - Something Else The Move - Shazam The Move - Looking On The Move - Message From The Country Speed Glue & Shinki - Eve The Flowers - Challenge Flower Travellin' Band - Anywhere Vangelis - Direct Vangelis - Themes Vangelis - The City Vangelis - The Thread (his new work premiering at Sadlers Wells this weekend - went to the opening night and I'm pleased to report it contains some of his best music for years, instantly hearkening back to his classic 1972 Vertigo LP 'Earth', and with one sequence of heightened apocalyptic intensity to rival '666' or 'Heaven & Hell'. Hopefully it will come out as an album at some point, although Vangelis is notorious for leaving classic scores in the hands of the bootleggers if he doesn't feel the time is right for an official release. The accompanying dancing was often mesmerising, although at times it felt rather restricted compared to the excitement and propulsion of the music). Jon & Vangelis - Page Of Life David Bowie - Scary Monsters David Bowie - Let's Dance David Bowie - Tonight (first Bowie album I bought, so I have a soft spot for it, despite the lightweight reggae and excess of cover versions. It's a fun listen) David Bowie - Never Let Me Down (2018 version - the original has that same late 80s production curse as Copey's albums of the period, and just feels interminable to listen to. This new reworking is much more enjoyable and at least helps you appreciate how much work Bowie was putting into his songwriting again, even if the results haven't always dated too well) The Stranglers - Feline The Stranglers - Aural Sculpture The Stranglers - Dreamtime

Leafcutter John – Yes! Come Parade With Us. Bloke on James Holden’s label, sounding not unlike JH, though a bit less cosmically intense, more trippily pastoral. Good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaCOvylhxks Ty Segall – Deforming Lobes. I really liked Manipulator, but not been that impressed by anything I’ve heard since. And there’s something about his voice that irritates me. Plus, piss-poor version of Cherry Red, despite what the reviews say, mainly because it is impossible to improve on the original. Mint Field – Mientras Esperas. Mexican shoegazing people turn the dial to ‘dreamy’. Is nice: https://mintfieldil.bandcamp.com/ Modern Nature – Nature EP. More young men on a pastoral hypnotic tip, but again, this is rather good, and features a member of BEAK> … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIMnkaujEeU The Hardy Tree – Stagdale EP. Clay Pipe Music founder Frances Castle produces a library-tastic accompaniment to her upcoming graphic short story… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8tUI2vp8Cs Time Grove – More Than One Thing The Comet Is Coming – Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery Frankie & The Witch Fingers – ZAM The Budos Band – V Robert Aeolus Myers – Talisman. Comp of new age Hawaiian bloke, pleasant, Tangs-lite stuff. VA – Jobcentre Rejects

Cherry Red: yup. Some things just have to be left alone. Any attempt sacrilege. The Ladykillers: there's another one.
