Flying Saucer Attack - Flying Saucer Attack

Flying Saucer Attack - Further
Flying Saucer Attack - Chorus

Elvis Presley - Today
Elvis Presley - From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee
Elvis Presley - In Demand
Elvis Presley - Welcome To My World
Elvis Presley - Moody Blue
Elvis Presley - In Concert (I'd always avoided this last album because I imagined it would be a painful listen, but it's actually one of his best live albums. Superbly recorded with the 'King' captured in fine voice at the end of his life, with a particularly great version of 'Trying To Get To You'. He slurs his way through some of the rockers which are fairly truncated, so evidently his heart wasn't in these anymore. I imagine the TV special itself would be harder to take, with his poor health more evident in the way he looked than the way he sounded).

Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs
Yo La Tengo - Fade
Yo La Tengo - Stuff Like That There
Yo La Tengo - There's A Riot Goin' On (My goodness the Tengo have got a bit boring in the past decade. 'Popular Songs' is excellent, but 'Fade' fades pretty quickly after the great opening track 'Ohm' and they seem to now be permanently stuck in subdued mode. Made me go back and check out their alter egos the Condo Fucks for some much needed excitement).
Condo Fucks - Fuckbook (Great fun lo-fi garage rock covers album, concluding with a particularly raucus 'Gudbuy T'Jane'. Haven't yet checked out their lockdown improvisations from last year, which apparently were recorded in the same manner with a single mic in the middle of the room, so hopefully there's a bit more edge there).

Pet Shop Boys - Cricket Wife
Pet Shop Boys - My Beautiful Launderette (After the disappointing Hotspot last year I hadn't been paying too much attention to what the PSBs were doing, so was surprised to discover these two potentially interesting releases. 'Cricket Wife' is an unusual piece - a 10-minute pseudo-orchestral track by Chris to which Neil sings the words of a poem he'd written. Inevitably a bit-more home-made sounding than usual and perhaps a bit limited melodically, but something different at least. 'MBL' is a soundtrack they recorded for a theatre production which makes quite a good mini-album if a bit cheesy in places).

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - I'm In Your Mind Fuzz

Indeed. Very impressed by the sublime and inventive bass lines of young Oldfield.

Yes, the bass is just perfect. Also, I particularly love the sustained accordion during the sax solo, so much so, the accordion becomes the 'solo' instrument in my mind, backed by the sax! I think this is due to my natural preference for the horizontal over the vertical ;-)

Oh, and to correct my listing, 'May I?' is performed by 'Kevin Ayers And The Whole World'.

Faust - 1971 - 1974 (CD version)
The 4 classic albums remastered (remixed?): not my thing. There is more bass and the sound in general is fatter and more "glued", but the quirkiness is missing. Example: the rhythm guitar in "It's a Rainy Day" has more clarity and cuts way more through the mix on older releases. The Wümme Box set is the gold standard, soundwise.
The new stuff: Punkt is excellent, very dark, sounds almost like a finished album. Momentaufnahme I-II: bits and pieces with some Sosna magic in places. They should relase this new stuff separately.

Los Lobos - Native Sons

Jerry Garcia Band - s/t

John Zorn - Parables

Daniel Bachman - Axacan

Necks - Hanging Gardens

Beach Boys - Feel Flows, The Sunflower & Surf’s Up Sessions

Velvet Underground - Loaded, 45th Anniversary Edition
