Two weeks' worth, lots of new stuff... Heather Trost – Petrichor. Female half of A Hawk And A Hacksaw, but quite different on her own, and rather good. Gosh, did someone say Broadcast? https://heathertrost.bandcamp.com/track/let-it-in Mary Lattimore – Silver Ladders. US alternative harpist who crops up in various places. Not moved by her stuff previously, but this album is actually more of a collaboration with Slowdive’s Neil Halstead, and fans of Pygmalion will find plenty to like here: https://marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/album/silver-ladders Vennart – In The Dark, Dark Wood. Bloke who used to be in Oceansize. A bit like Deftones meets Radiohead, worth a listen: https://vennart.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-dead-dead-wood Domenique Dumont – People On Sunday. Nice library-style electronica: https://domeniquedumont.bandcamp.com/album/people-on-sunday Divide And Dissolve – Gas Lit. Whoa, crushing but allusive heavy drone duo, a bit much over an album, but pretty amazing in short bursts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdl7_hCwFZ0 Soho Rezanejad – Perform And Surrender. Super arty/blurry post-post-post-rock, some niceness here: https://soundcloud.com/siliconerecords/soho-rezanejad-half-the-shore Richard Durrant – Rewilding. Classical guitarist fancies himself as the new Mike Oldfield: https://richarddurrant.bandcamp.com/album/rewilding Martin Barre – 50 Years Of Jethro Tull. Tribute band-ish takes on the Tull back catalogue, though to his credit, Barre does tackle plenty of ‘deep cuts’. But this isn’t really for dyed in the wool Passion Play fans such as myself ;-0 Grive – EP. Oh, this is pretty cool, Agnes from La Feline and some bloke making an agreeably gnarly/interesting alt rock sound Ozric Tentacles – Space For The Earth Juana Molina – Arnmal: Live In Mexico VA – Southeast Of Saturn. So, the Michigan space rock scene is here ;-) New comp from Third Man, though what we’re actually talking about is US shoegaze rather than Hawkwind style brain-blasters. A couple of tracks here are more MBV than MBV… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q-uqKEyzK4&feature=emb_logo Michael Bundt – Just Landed Cosmic Kid. How have I never heard of this before, it’s great! Krauty electronics and drums from 1977, and a big influence on Add N To (X) apparently… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAFu9gKF4Q Five Day Rain – s/t Hawkwind – Dunstable/Croyden/Oxford 1977. More soundboards, there’s a hell of a live album lurking in these tracks… Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe – M144

Plenty of Dead Sea Apes - Astral House EP, Lupus and Sixth Side of the Pentagon. Twice. Datashock - keine oase In Sicht and Krauter der Provinz. They're German! Preferred the former, Drone type fare. Rather reminiscent of Can and Neu in places. Daniel Blumberg - On&On... Daniel Avery - Drone Logic. Pretty good electronica/techno type stuff Headswim - Despite Yourself. Trying to out miserable Radiohead in the late 90's would be my description. Failing, but not without some good moments David Holmes - Lets Get Killed, Holy Pictures. What a guy! Continues to grow in my estimation. Tried his hand at plenty of different projects from DJ/Soundtracks to full motorik/krautrock type band on Holy Pictures. Free association project great too Holy Modal Rounders - 1 and 2. Delightfully oddball folk/anti folkers from early 60's

Can't actually remember much of what I've tuned into, but here's what I do recall ... Stooges - S/T David Bowie - Metrobolist (aka the latest mix of The Man Who Sold the World) Yet another mix/re-imagining of my fav' Bowie album, allegedly as it was originally imagined in 1970/71. Is it much different to the other mixes about? well yes and no. If you're not a massive fan of the record, you can happily live on having not missed a whole lot though truth be told. Swans - Children of God. Well I DL'd this 2020 'remaster', as I was curious if it sounded any better, and as I already have the original vinyl and early 2000's remaster on CD, I wasn't so fussed as to pay £32 fer another vinyl copy that doesn't sound much different to my original (which I think was DMM anyways, though not 100% sure about that) plus my original vinyl cost a quid, cos the Cartel had just gone down the plughole in the 90's first recession. Great album still. Human League - Dare Probably played this more in the last year than I have since it was fresh and new to me in 1981. Still a great album, and 'Sound of The Crowd' gets me every time. Beta Band - 3 EP's Still a classic collection of those early 12"s Virginia Wing - Measures of Joy Do enjoy this record, and if you're a massive fan of mid period Broadcast, well you can't really go wrong, as they've nicked the sound wholesale. Good record nonetheless. Album https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kyjejZCDUcSYJzJzGOyubFMtbP9p8EWr8 Electric Wizard - Legalise Drugs and Murder Dooom-ee Irmin Schmitt and Inner Space - Kamasutra Mmmm Can-ish. Datashock - Pyramid Von Gesehen Blondie - Parallel Lines Metabolist - Goatmanaut and Stagmanaut! cassettes If you liked early Hula, 400 Blows and 23 Skidoo, then this gem from 1979/80 will blow yer socks off. Motorhead - On Parole Well that's about all I recall, know thre was morem but that'll do pig. Keep safe y'all!

My favourite Bowie too. But having heard the remixed title track, I wondered if Woody Woodmansey was pointing a gun at Tony Visconti's head when he did it - drums much more prominent. Rest of the album like that?

Leaving Meaning - Swans I haven't played this much TBH, but hearing it this week it sounded staggeringly good. I didn't look at the lyric sheet until afterwards and as it's pretty hard to understand I had no idea what he was MG was on about most of the time, but it didn't matter. This is seriously intense. I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep - Ghostpoet Another pretty intense one. Quite Tricky-ish. Hot Spot – Pet Shop Boys One of my most played albums this year. There are some great pop moments here though the final track gets on my nerves sometimes so I gave it a miss this week. Where Did The Night Fall - UNKLE One of my fave post-2000 albums and The Healing is one of my fave tracks from that period, too. Also... What Will We Be – Devendra Banhard Whatever Happened To My Rock'n'Roll (CDS) – Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Cosmo's Factory – Creedence Clearwater Revival A Few Scattered Hours – Memory Drawings Voodoo Lounge – Rolling Stones The Spice Of Life – Marlene Shaw Ha!-Ha!-Ha! – Ultravox!

TBH, I've only played it twice, and then wasn't really tuning in as I was otherwise occupied, but there are changes enough that I noticed more guitar here or (as you say) drums there, even in passing. But, like the original Raw Power, I'll still probably play the original and loved/familiar more than any subsequent efforts. Just a fans curiosity really caused me to get it. Nice cover etc... tho. I bought the 'mix' of Hunky Dory several years ago fer the same reason (and Ziggy too) and neither really get the plays of the original. Soz, doesn't really answer yer question, but if you like the original album it's worth tracking down a DL if only fer curiosities sake..... like this one... https://exystence.net/blog/2020/11/05/david-bowie-metrobolist-aka-the-man-who-sold-the-world-50th-anniversary-edition-2020/
