White Dog – s/t. Austin-based rockers and latest signings to Rise Above. Sounding like a proggier Allman Brothers. Not bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG0UxufiSaY

North Americans – Roped In. New agey American Primitive guitar and pedal steel combo. Again, not bad: https://northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/album/roped-in-2

Ray Russell – Fluid Architecture. Avant jazz guitarist who worked with Bill Fay and went on to compose the theme to Bergerac (!) returns with a pretty decent offering. Fans of Terje Rypdal take note: https://cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fluid-architecture-2

Kairon; IRSE! – Polysomn. This is a hell of an earworm: https://kaironirse.bandcamp.com/track/welcome-blue-valkyrie

Hawkwind Light Orchestra – Carnivorous

Spriguns – Time Will Pass / Magic Lady. Been meaning to properly check these out for a while. This actually *is* acidic folk rock about witchcraft and Satan as opposed to all the other bands for which such is claimed. Check this version of an old standard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUOsKbG6gew&list=PL55664FBB78B388F2&index=6

Highway Robbery – For Love Or Money. An old Cope favourite getting a reissue. Horrible production but very heavy in places, certainly for 1972: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6MWkUdpVJc

Fleetwood Mac – Future Games. Other than the ‘hits’, I know very little of FM’s oeuvre. This was perfectly pleasant if not amazing.

Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe – M144. Oh blimey, why haven’t I checked these guys out before? Great jazz/psych rock from Denmark, and before the likes of Can, just about the first European band to be taken seriously by the UK press. Love this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxSXEofTvhc

VA – Living On The Hill (CD1)
