Gong – The Universe Also Collapses. Second album from the rebooted, post-Daevid Allen pothead pixie crew, and it’s actually a good deal more psychedelic/Gong-like than the previous (and very good) Rejoice! I’m Dead! Which right now I think I prefer, but this has still got its moments… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VQQbIi4Xc5E

Nik Turner – The Final Frontier. Uncle Nik tries to outgun his old band in a bid for space rock supremacy. Not bad actually, though the poor guy is starting to sound increasingly frail https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1w5aLf8z890

Fire! Orchestra – Arrival. I loved the last Fire! (Trio) album, The Hands, which was basically fuzzed up Sabbath basslines and brutal skronk, but I can’t seem to get into their Orchestra incarnation. Some decent bits, but still too much Nordic soul emoting for my liking.

Flamingods – Levitation. Possibly a little hipsterish, but this is a likeable collection of Indo-Anatolian psych bangers, with more than a nod to the baggy Madchester rave of the early 90s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wysb9kMSRuQ

JuJu – Maps And Territory. It’s Gioele Valenti, ex of Lay Llamas, and one man Sicilian psych factory. His first JuJu album was immense, his second a good deal less so, but this has him back on the right track, with a kind of post-punk Afrobeat vibe
