Jane Weaver – Loops In The Secret Society. Album based on her solo shows from last year, where she did various stripped down but swirly reinterpretations of recent songs. It is, dare I say, a little samey in places and a bit over-long, but still quite a trip: https://janeweaverfire.bandcamp.com/album/loops-in-the-secret-society

Justin Hopper/Sharron Kraus/Belbury Poly – Chanctonbury Rings. Latest from Ghost box, and it certainly ticks all the expected boxes, even if the narration from Hopper is delivered in an American Accent, good god… https://soundcloud.com/ghost-box/sets/chanctonburyrings

Elephant9 – Psychedelic Backfire 1. Heavy jazz rock types from Norway produce live album which is pleasingly a bit more direct than some of their studio stuff

Spaceship – Outcrops. New one from enviro-ambient bloke, ecstatic drones and field recordings galore, very good: https://wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/album/outcrops

Hampshire And Foat – Saint Lawrence. Bloke from The Bees and jazz pianist record album live in a church. A bit folky, a bit jazzy, a bit post-rocky, perfectly nice: https://aotns.bandcamp.com/album/saint-lawrence

VA – The Watchers. Latest comp from A Year In The Country, who are also very much on the hauntological wagon, but specialise in a kind of pastoral electronica. Nothing terrible, but nothing that outstanding

Beaver & Krause – In A Wild Sanctuary / Gandharva / All Good Men. Never properly checked these guys out before, so this three-albums-on-two-CDs reissue is handy. Not at all totally electronic – in fact, they cover just about every musical base at some point, inc blues, soul, gospel and ragtime – but IAWS in particular has some cool proto-radiophonica. On saying that, the ‘holy jazz’ tracks from Gandharva with saxophonist Gerry Mulligan are perhaps the best thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMoQIr_ngAs

Minoru Muraoka – Bamboo. Japanese ethno-jazz from 1970, this track plundered for breaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EfsEMg8swI

Procol Harum – Broken Barricades

VA – Lullabies For Catatonics

It's been a long time, sorry! I regularly read your Soundtracks and find much of interest, but I haven't had a chance recently to post a proper list myself. Many thanks to those who do go to the trouble to post these every week, they don't fall on deaf eyes!

CDs
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play (An Extended Performance)
Julian Cope - 20 Mothers

Vinyl
So much good stuff lately it's hard to keep up!

Sunn O)))- LifeMetal
Wonderful record, it has a shimmering beauty to it's huge drones and throbs. Glorious gatefold sleeve too.

Dead Sea Apes - A Free Territory
A whole new sound for this ever-changing, ever brilliant band. Dark and beautiful.

Vert:X - Death To False Motorik
This is fab - insistent beats and savage guitars. Get a copy if you can.

Hibushibire - Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out
Oh man this lot burn. Only just got this one, but love it already on first listen.

Dreamtime - Tidal Mind
By far the best of their albums that I've heard (I missed the previous one through sleeping on a pre-order), this is a psychedelic swirl of wondrousnesses. Early Pink Floyd but a bit heavier in places.

Centrum - For Meditation
Not actually meditative as such, but certainly mesmerising. Another amazing band out of Sweden. Another tremendous gatefold sleeve as well - proper trippy on the inner!

Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain
Well worth a revisit on vinyl.

Patterns/Harmonics – AK/DK
Nothing like AC/DC.

Bump'n'Grind – Marc Bolan & T.Rex
This “collection of session takes, working versions and mixes” is a serious contender for being the best post-humous Bolan release. Originally released on cd in 2000, it is now available on (blue) vinyl, albeit shorter in length.

The Sound Of Sheffield '78-'83 – Cabaret Voltaire
Top notch compilation of the early stuff. Loving this more than ever.

Surf's Up – Fat White Family
Great title!

Can I Colour In Your Hair (7”) - Lark
With Andrew Weatherall mix on the b-side.

Keep On Keeping On – Curtis Mayfield
(Boxset containing Curtis, Roots, Back To The World, Sweet Exorcist)

A River Ain't Too Much To Love – Smog
New Bill Callahan album coming soon. In 70's style cover. Not in a good way!

Sound-Dust – Stereolab
Fab Four Suture – Stereolab
I hadn't heard these in a long time. Enjoyed them enormously.

Where Did The Night Fall – UNKLE
I think this is a bit of a modern day classic.

Making Music - Bill Withers
Some great numbers here.

Peel Session (1984) – The Woodentops
Great to hear this again. I remember taping this off Peel at the time.

Quite a different sound to it from the previous one, and highly recommended. Great band.
