Original Sound Of Sheffield ‘83/87 - Cabaret Voltaire
For obvious reasons.

Around - Thought Bubble
Kid Calamity and friend on fine form here. Opening track is particularly good. Splending looking packaging, too (always loved that artwork).

Alan Vega After Dark - Alan Vega
Us Alan Vega fans are being spoilt this year. First we had Mutator where Jared Artaud of The Vacant Lots got to work with some raw, unmixed mid-90’s recordings by Vega and his wife Liz Lamere. Overall, it was a pretty uncompromising album, but one I like a lot. Now we get this, a previously unreleased late-night session with Pink Slip Daddy members Ben Vaughn, Barb Dwyer, and Palmyra Delran shortly before Vega died and there is talk that it includes his last vocal performance. And it's bloody great - so ignore the misguided three star Mojo review! Vega had previously worked with Vaughn on the excellent Cubist Blues that the two made with Alex Chilton and there is a similar feel here. Tight and loose at the same, with bits of rockabilly and a great drum sound. And Al sounding as fabulous as ever.
