Zombi – 2020. They’re back! Electro-rock duo go a bit doom metal on this new one, alongside the usual Goblin/Carpenter/Rush vibe: https://zombi.bandcamp.com/album/2020 Mong Tong – Mystery. Lo-fi sampledelica from Taiwan, bit like Sun Araw in places, not bad: https://mongtongggb.bandcamp.com/album/mystery Schizo Fun Addict – The Last Wave. Blimey, that’s an awful name, but this is quite a nice album in a dreamy indie psych style. Nothing online from this album, but they do a great version of ‘Theme One’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCEKPuLwYjI Electric Moon – You Can See The Sound Of… German space rock trio do their thing, reliable vibes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq-snDGPDIw Ohmme – Fantasize Your Ghost. Quirky indie female duo, some agreeably edgy moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9E9ngQ9lVI No Age – Goons Be Gone Modern Nature – Annual Mantis – s/t. Re-release of obscure Canadian prog AOR album from 1973, surprisingly good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgzu7wqBiPk Groundhogs – Hogwash

Sleepless – Immersion I only got round to getting this 2018 release recently for some reason. For the uninitiated it is Colin Newman & Malka Spigel returning to their 90's instrumental / electronic guise. I think it was labelled 'dance music' back then. It isn't. But everything like this got called that back then! Anyway, this really is very good. Check out the title track! Straight Songs Of Sorrow – Mark Lanegan The album that accompanies his recently published autobiography, Sing Backwards And Weep. Wow. That doesn't didn't pull any punches. Lanegan isn't just a great singer, he can clearly write, too. He's lived a life as well. And he tells us all about it with both honesty and a lack of self-pity. Sure other people upset him but Lanegan is increasingly his own worst enemy, ravaged by an addiction that literally results in him being on his knees. Along the way there are some great anecdotes about other musicians, friends or otherwise. Compelling and hugely entertaining, too. Rock Sutra – Sun Araw I was a big fan of those earlier releases like Heavy Deeds, but kinda lost touch for a while. I bought the last one recently and that hasn't blown me away and this, the new one, hasn't either, going off in a slightly different direction that isn't really doing it for me. Not yet anyway. Walls Have Ears – Transglobal Underground First TGU album in a while I think. Some really great things here, not least Chant Sans Addresse which is probably the track I have most enjoyed listening to this week. Also... Fur Immer – DAF S/T – The Detroit Spinners Babylon – Dr John Mantovani & Friends – V/A Revolutionary Spirit (The Sound Of Liverpool 1976-1988) - V/A

Coupla Weeks worth here...don't seem to listen to as much music in 'lockdown' as I used to....don't get the chance really, plus middle of last week my very old Akai CD player 'phuzed' out, so had great fun digging out a bunch of old cassettes to fill the void. Managed to score an old Sony DVD/SACD player for no money off ebay, so hopefully CD situ will be sorted later this week. I don't need audiophile quality these days, I'm half deaf + tinnitus = not a lot of discernment between Ok I'm happy with that and great sounding electronics. Ennyways.... to business.... Thipe - Lepore Extrusion Eno - Thursday Afternoon/ ...Tiger Mountain P.I.L. - Metal Box Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out If there was one record that was a springboard to many more musical excavations as a young teen, for me. it was this album. I'd not heard anything like it back in 1982. Not having older siblings, and having parents a generation or two older than my mates (my dad was in the RAF in Burma during WWII.) I had to pretty much picked stuff up I liked myself (with massive helps from Peel's show it must be said). This album (through reading interviews with the band amongst other things) led me to Bowie, Iggy, Velvets, Eno and all ways West from there. Still one of my all time topitty records. Now I'm an old fart, I'd say this release was more akin to a prog album than the 'goth' tab that got hung around their bony necks at the time. I really do think it's an unsung masterpiece, though I'm probably in an audience of one there ;) Coil - Horse Rotorvator, Scatology , Stolen And Contaminated Songs, Timemachines Motorhead - Overkill Live Aylesbury 79' Second Part of the Overkill Remaster/Reissue package...fine stuff too. Lemmy on fine form between songs, and he seems genuinely chuffed to have an audience...he's on fine fettle. God bless Ya Fella! Fu Manchu - King Of the Road Ozric Tentacles - Live Atlanta 1994 (Tape) Bowies, Loads on shuffle Doors - Ditto Slint - Spiderland P J Harvey - Dry, Rid Of Me, Four Track Demos I'd not really put it together in my head till this week that parts of 'Rid Of Me' owe a great deal to the timings and sonics of Spiderland (and I read this week that she apparently wrote off to do female backing vocals on the Spiderland sessions, but never heard back from Slint fact fans....guess her 'career' may have taken a mucho different course if this had come off). I was also thinking that Dry was well overdue a remaster, when low and behold, an email from Norman's dropped in my inbox stating just that...funny how life works. Prince - Purple Rain I'd not played this tape in the looooongest time. Probably since I was dating the girl I was trying to impress with my love of Prince back in 85' (shhh, don't tell, but I didn't really like him that much...though weirdly I did end up sitting through the 'Under a Cherry Moon' flik, bought (and quite enjoyed) Parade, went to see him live for Sign 'O' The times (very enjoyable) plus bought the album...ditto Lovesexy, and Around the World In A Day). In fact, there were several females I ended up dating that fer reasons I couldn't fathom, who just luuuurved Prince to death, alongside loving The Cult, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus et al.... Anyway, I enjoyed it waaay more than I was expecting, so ordered the 2CD remaster to embarass myself further. Swans - The Burning World I hated this on release, then I kinda liked it a bit, now I hate it all over again. Funny how we move in cycles ADULT - Perception is... Y'know. Sometimes electronic music just gets places a guitar can't. The Bass, The freqs, The Rez, just ARRRGGGGH I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Stephen Malkmus - Traditional Techniques This has gotten under my skin big time. It's a fairly understated record, with just enough of a nod to Pavementesque tones, but with a subline 60's /early 70's vibe can't quite pin down. Love it, esp during these sweltering afternoons in the yard. Fav track is opener 'ACC kiritan' a lovely 'ragaesque' vibe to it. https://stephenmalkmus.bandcamp.com/album/traditional-techniques Iggy - Live Rainbow 1977 That's about it. Keep well everyone! Oh, recently read in The Grud that Andy Gill's missus thinks he may have been an early victim of Covid. Apparently the band had not long gotten back from China back in November when he fell ill, along with tour manager who also had respiratory problems :( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/01/spate-of-possible-uk-coronavirus-cases-from-2019-come-to-light https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/28/andy-gill-gang-of-four-to-release-guitarists-final-recordings

Quite a selection there - lots of stuff I frequently turn back to... Agreed "Sky's Gone Out" is there best. I caught onto Bauhaus at the time but only really had a few singles and that double comp LP. Always loved that "All We Ever Wanted" - found it so Bowiesque - but a couple of years back I heard the whole SGO album and was in awe - def bits of prog in there. Nice as always to see Coil in there (esp Horse Rotorvator - I fell in love with them when I got that at the time and that Stolen and Contaminated is one of their best comps). I was digging out some early PiL this morning and will no doubt get the box out some time this week. I shouldn't really but I still love Swans Burning World - not as much as the album before (COG) and the two after (White Light & Love Of Life) - it may act as an interlude between these albums. They did not suit being on a major label and that production but some great songs nonetheless. Don't see the Ozrics much here - good to see them too. A blast fromn the past - supported them on their first Scottish gig away 30 years ago ... Have a good week, Gary
