Forest - Full Circle The Kingsbury Manx - Let You Down Brian Wilson - Brian Wilson Brian Wilson - Sweet Insanity Brian Wilson - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks - Orange Crate Art The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street Edith Frost - Calling Over Time Edith Frost - Telescopic Edith Frost - Wonder Wonder Michael Nesmith - The Wichita Train Whistle Sings (was always rather baffled by this all-instrumental big band meets rock album, but Nez's remixed and re-sequenced version released on CD a few years ago fixes some of the problems with the original vinyl version and it is now genuinely powerful in places. Found myself loving a lot of it for the first time) Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Magnetic South Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Loose Salute Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Nevada Fighter Goat - Head Soup

Carnage - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds There are some stunning moments on St Nicholas’ latest release, not least the title track. Translucence - Poly Styrene I’d like to say this is better than was considered when it was released all those years ago, but I can’t. File under Brave But Disappointing. Zinc Alloy & the Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow - Marc Bolan & T.Rex Marc Bolan would have been 74 last week so on the evening of his birthday I switched off the lights and listened to some Marc In The Dark. I chose the much maligned ZA. Sure I understand the accusations that it’s messy, over-produced, the backing vocals are too loud, etc, but I love it. It exists in its own world. Funky guitars. Soul influences. Beautiful strings. It sounds like no other album at times. The two tracks that stood out this week were the single Teenage Dream and Carmsile Smith & The Old One which contains one of my fave Bolan guitar solos. Also... Commutators (12" Single) - CZN Duke Of York - Hox Private Space - Durand Jones & the Indications Auto Sequence Start EP - Steve Moore Roisin Machine - Roisin Murphy Electrically Possessed: Switched On Vol 4 - Stereolab Linval Presents Dub Landing - Linval Thompson Alan Vega After Dark - Alan Vega Dengue Fever Presents Electric Cambodia - V/A What’s Your Pleasure? - Jesse Ware

Appliance - Reconditioned 3CD/ Imperial Metric Early EP's, radio Sessions and out-takes galore on the Re-Conditioned 3 CD comp. The tracks do sound different to the 'official' versions too, which is always good. Can - Future Days Never gets old. Cauldron - Fifty Foot Hose This album is nuts, in the same way Brainticket - Cottonwood Hill is nuts, or White Noise - An Electric Storm. I'm ashamed to say I only recently came across it and love it to bits. In case you fancy a listen https://fiftyfoothose.bandcamp.com/album/cauldron Nurse With Wound - Chromanatron How to edit and make the band Sand sound not like Sand (in a good way). A- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwfIOen77hU B- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW_W7FXGBmw Cabaret Voltaire - 2X45/ Red Mecca Red Mecca was my intro to the Cabs. Landslide is still amongst my fav tracks by them. Landslide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_1rxkDPyb8 Julie's Haircut - Our Secret Ceremony Alan Vega - After Dark Arthur Brown/Kingdom Come - Journey/Galactic Earth Dossier Does Arthur Brown have the most 'Rock' voice of all time....you bet! Dug out their performace on the Glastonbury Fayre film. God, if you were off your tits watching this performance, it would be terrifying. HEAVY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IivivoOkrec They look like a buch of Hammer Horror extras. Did they invent the feckin' Insane Clown Posse? Various - Sub Pop - Infecting the Galaxy..... Decent varied label sampler CD when labels used to knock out such things fer a few quid. Sampler ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giev1fIalCk&list=PLkdDljfjUhwcbEW2bQTMvcAZfqLk87jO1 Various - Rough trade R n R Vol:1 (2CD) Still waiting fer vol 2. This is a great comp, not a duffer on it, I must have bought about 5 copies over the years for various friends and family members. Still to be had used fer just a few of yer sheckles should you want a copy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMeZSxNWV8&list=PLurTO43o-LBKcUJCDwQdYyzVQtwD6OgF8 Annie Anxiety Bandez/Little Annie - Jackamo/Short, Sweet and Dread EP Annie Anxiety is an artist I feel is much overlooked. Much of her 80's/early 90's stuff is still worth digging out. She worked quite a bit with On 'U' Sound, a label that was quite dear to my heart in the 80's, what with Tackhead, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge, Singers and Players and those wonderful Pay It All Back compilations, with the ever present Adrian Sherwood at the controls. One of my faves... https://payitallback.bandcamp.com/track/prince-far-i-w-singers-players-water-the-garden The Soundcarriers - Celeste Camera - Prosthuman Chords4/Kurz Vor is my new jam. https://camerawithin.bandcamp.com/album/prosthuman Edward Ka-Spel - Prints of Darkness Had this a while, first listen, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Don't know if these tracks were recorded earlier in his career or not, but he sounds so feckin' young. https://edwardka-spel.bandcamp.com/album/prints-of-darkness Maserati - Inventions for the New Season Never heard of these fellas before, god awful name, bit nice strung out guitar chugings and noises. https://maserati.bandcamp.com/album/inventions-for-the-new-season-anniversary-edition Massive Attack - Heligoland DNA - DNA on DNA Ugly music for ugly times. I do enjoy DNA, mostly for Arto Lindsays' contributions, but I'd be hard pushed to say it was a totally enjoyable experience over an album length. Hell, even SWANS - Cop comes off as sweetness and light compaired to this. Not sure about all this Bowie crate scraping malarkey now he's not around. Toy is about to be released, which isn't from his peak period it has to be said. But have you seen the feckin' cover! I can't imagine in a million years that the good man would sign off on something so ugly and unimaginative (best not mention Reality eh? An album I own, but I can't think of the last time I gave it a spin....may have to look it out next week). Anyhow, needless to say, I probably won't be forking for it. Have a good week everyone.

It's terrible. They should have stayed with this... https://www.discogs.com/master/603639-David-Bowie-Toy I don't mind the Reality cover though!

And so ahead of it's time and I can't image it sold well way back when it was released. So up there with as you say Brainticket and White Noise. Perhaps one of the first "space rock" albums? Can't help comparing a bit to the United States Of America but that may be as I came across them both around the same time.

I've been tuned into this kinda musical wackery fer years, I was amazed that I'd never heard or read about them (well until I happened on some guys blog who mentioned em'). They should deffo be up there with Brainticket et. al. for sheer wigged out greatness. Great album cover too!
