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
