Found an old Peel compilation tape from about 1980/81 whilst rooting about which I was surprised to find still sounds pretty good quality, so bits of that informed this weeks listening.

Bill Nelson - Quit Dreaming and Get On The Beam/ The Love That Whirls...
The track 'Do You Dream In Colour' off the above tape inspired me to dig out some more stuff by Bill. I'm not his biggest fan, but did enjoy the above records more than I thought.

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead 12"

Lemon Kittens - We Buy A Hammer For Daddy.
Not my fav' band, thigh this does get the odd spin years apart. Still as fractured and weird as I recall.

Various - The Some Bizarre Album
I played this to death back in the day. It was the album that divided 'those in the know' from normal pop nerds back in my school days. Still a fine comp of bands of the era, some who went on to be more famous (The The, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Blancmange, B-Movie) and some who pretty much ended up MIA.

Cup - Spinning Creature
I bought this a while ago, but only just got around to playing it. Has some guy from Wilco and his missus. Wow, what a great record. Kinda reminds me of
a more electronic version of David Thomas (Pere Ubu) solo albums crossed with Tarwater/Tortoise/For Carnation. Enjoying it a lot.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers - Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters
This is a fun listen, enjoying this muchly, mostly cos' of the crunchy dampened guitar sounds and lush delay vibes on some tracks. Think I've an earlier album by them called 'ZAM' somewhere too, but can't find it right now. Not as good as the Monsters record as I recall tho.

John Foxx - Metamatic 3 CD
I'd not really taken the time to read the lyrics to Metamatic, even though I've owned it fer 40 years, but glad I have, cos' I've been singing them wrong fer years :) Oddly for such a 'clinical' album, it probably some of John Foxx' most beautiful and evocative wordplay.

Primitive Knot - Unholy Grails
Occult obsessed lofi Manchester metal motorikers make a strangley enjoyable racket, well to my ears. https://primitiveknot.bandcamp.com/album/unholy-grails There's also a glut of shonky none essential covers up on their bandcamp page which I kinda like too. Orgone Accumalator... https://primitiveknot.bandcamp.com/track/orgone-accumulator-hawkwind
Metal Dr Who theme anyone.... https://primitiveknot.bandcamp.com/track/dr-who

That's about it. Keep Well Everyone!

Couple of weeks...

All Them Witches – Nothing As The Ideal / Lost And Found EP. New album from a great band who never seem to be as well-known as they should be. Difficult to describe, but they’re in that relatively small club of bands who manage to be classically ‘heavy’ but in a clever, non-generic way (closest comparison is Lullabies To Paralyze QOTSA): https://allthemwitches.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-as-the-ideal

The Golden Age Of Steam – Tomato Brain. A bit ‘challenging’ but worthwhile electronica/modern jazz thing

Spiral Drift – On The Shadow Line. Pretty generic/corporate desert rock, listening for a friend ;-0

Tangerine Dream – Pilots Of Purple Twilight. Been dipping into this excellent 10 CD retrospective of TD’s output 1980-83. Lots of unreleased stuff, but the pinnacle (for me) will always be 1982’s White Eagle, perhaps my favourite TD album. If you’ve never heard it and/or have any interest in the development of electronic music post-70s, give it a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVaE4J1Y-pA

Erkin Koray – Halimem. Latest Erkin comp. OK, but time for a proper anthology!

Pax – May God And Your Will Land You And Your Soul Miles Away From Evil. Some vintage Peruvian heaviness, but this dark psych ballad is perhaps the best track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoPAHXEaYVk

VA – Brown Acid – The Eleventh Trip. Still rolling on, and can be relied on each time to throw up at least a couple of truly deranged efforts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McrlAh7e78g

Have tried sharing it on Googledrive. There is a notification that it hasn't had a virus scan which I don't quite understand as it has been on my hard drive for quite some time and I thought it would be scanned automatically. Also I don't seem to be able to select the file individually to scan it as it suddenly doesn't become available. Agghghhh, computers!

Feel free to advise accordingly if not suitable.

Sam

Edit - I see that you have received it
