Teleplasmiste – To Kiss Earth Goodbye. Some cosmic/ecstatic dronic signalling fer yer… https://teleplasmistehom.bandcamp.com/album/to-kiss-earth-goodbye
Noveller – Arrow. ‘Future guitar psychedelia’ is one of the best self-descriptors ever… Fans of Fripp etc should go here right now: https://noveller.bandcamp.com/album/arrow
Trees Speak – Ohms
Slift – Ummon. Have I mentioned already that this might be the best space rock album since Hawkwind’s classic years…?? Yes, I think I have. You can listen to the whole trip here: https://slift.bandcamp.com/album/ummon
Loop – A Gilded Eternity
Groundhogs – Thank Christ For The Bomb / Who Will Save The World?
Motorhead – No Sleep Til Hammersmith
Spirit – The Best Of… Took one of my intermittent visits to Spotify to do that thing where you decide ‘it’s high time I checked out…’ xxx bands you feel you should at least have a passing acquaintance with… usually as an accompaniment to some Practical Task You Need To Do, in this case the building of a dog cupboard (don’t ask). Anyway, pick of the bunch was very much Spirit, enjoyed quite a bit of this, an interesting band who seem to be combining psych, prog, jazz and rock from the late 60s onwards. Will have to dig out that old copy of Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus that I may never have played properly…
The Allman Brothers Band – Legendary Hits. As seen in that Eric Clapton doc the other week (which was quite something of itself). Fairly inoffensive Southern boogie/blues rock… Oh, hang on a sec, this song’s called ‘Whipping Post’… Oh, and that’s the Top Gear theme… Can see that they’ve been relentlessly ‘homaged’ over the past 50 years, and there’s the occasional rocking riff, but I don’t think there’s any need to revisit this one.
Nazareth – The Very Best Of… Nor this one either really. One of those bands where you think, ‘ I surely must know some of these songs…’, but only ‘This Flight Tonight’ vaguely rang a bell. A band that doggedly moved with the times, from rapey Faces-esque boogie to metal balladeers. Though I did enjoy the heavy disco of ‘Expect No Mercy’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0MP1hOc6t8
