Cobalt Chapel – s/t / Orange Synthetic. Modernist folk duo in the tradition of Broadcast/Ladytron/Goldfrapp – if you like that crowd, you’ll definitely want to hear OS, their new one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ySAFwXV4g

Nilson – Here & Now. And talking of the above, here’s a young man from Germany who’s trying to out-hauntologise the lot of ‘em: https://nilson.bandcamp.com/album/here-now

Gazelle Twin & NYX – Deep England. What’s that, Sooty? More arty stuff about England’s hidden reverse and The Wicker Man? Yes indeed. GT is one of those people I find myself wanting to like rather than actually liking, and over the long stretch, this album is pretty hard going to be honest. However, this version of a WM fave is very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyQEoaMZe8U

Witchwood – Before The Winter. No, not more Wyrd England, but Italian retro rockers pledging allegiance to Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull. Ridiculous but entertainingly so: https://jolly-roger-records.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-winter

October And The Eyes – Dogs And Gods EP. Young NZ lady who may possibly be acquainted with Siouxsie Sioux. This is a bit of a spiky earworm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otfvp-e8CyE

Brian Eno – Film Music: 1976-2020. Well, some of it anyway ie. only 17 tracks. He’s pretty good at this stuff though ;-) Includes edit of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4onBqilHvc

Kate Bush – The Dreaming

Michael Bundt – Just Landed Cosmic Kid

Hatfield And The North – s/t / The Rotters’ Club. Erm, I’ve never heard HATN before, which I know is a bit of an admission here ;-0 Prog jazzery of the highest order, but gosh, doesn’t Richard Sinclair sound like Robert Wyatt – or is it the other way round? Anyway, inspired to finally check them out by this…

25 Views Of Worthing – s/t. Canterbury Sound-inspired band from the early 70s finally release some recordings they did for Island. If you’re a CS aficionado, you’ll want to check ‘em, though it’s actually their 1977 EP (also included) which is perhaps more intriguing, almost anticipating the Cardiacs: https://soundcloud.com/barnstorm-music/you-are-what-you-eat-25-views-of-worthing

Hawkwind – Doremi Fasol Latido

Roxy Music – 1972 Peel sessions. Oh, I had not heard this before, first RM Peel session with Davy O’List on guitar. Better than the album versions?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZPfF-X_kN0&t=11s

Iron Butterfly – Heavy / In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida / Ball. Another band I knew little about other than the obvious track. Curious stuff, some of it pretty awful, some of it rather good, and all randomly scattered over these first three LPs. I can’t decide which category this track falls into, but it cracks me up every time – “Come here, woman!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBk9WnclOA

Standhouden (45) – De Ambassade
Interesting in an early 80's kinda way recent release. One side side sounds like a cross between early Depeche Mode and SPK, whilst the other reminds me of Everything's Gone Green-era New Order where they still had something of the Joy Division doominess even though they were branching to pastures new.

Substance – New Order
Be A Rebel (45) – New Order
Talking of who...Admittedly Be A Rebel is not their greatest ever single (many of which are on Substance) but it's nice to hear them again all the same and the remixes are enjoyable if you want to be transported back to 1993 for a bit.

Metamorphosis – Rolling Stones
Living In A Ghost Town (45) – Rolling Stones
Compilation of early stuff and the recent single. OK the latter is a bit ripped off from The Specials but I like it all the same. A quick mention for the production...OK they can obviously afford the best, but it really is rather good. It almost sounds like Jagger is in the room at one point, though admittedly that will not be everyone's idea of fun.

Mutant Moment (EP) - Soft Cell
Cruelty Without Beauty – Soft Cell
Recent re-issue of the debut ep (I don't have the original sadly as it's worth a bit!). It's an interesting 'left-field' record that has more in common with the type of oddball stuff that Peel would have played back then than the chart material of the times. I certainly don't think many folk would have chanced a fiver on them having the best selling single of the year a year later on the basis of this! Their early 2000's comeback album has also been re-issued in an expanded version. Hopefully it will get more recognition this time around as it's a corker!

Also...

Karma & Desire – Actress

Gold Record – Bill Callahan

War Machine – Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

Rockfield Files (EP) – The Damned

A Few Scattered Hours – Memory Drawings

The Spice Of Life – Marlena Shaw

Return Of Django - The Upsetters

Head In The Clouds – V/A
