War Machine – Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
I haven't really given this enough attention. I was really impressed this time round.
Guesswork – Lloyd Cole
This 2019 album is one of only a couple of LC album I've bought in some time. It really is rather good.
India – Gal Costa
Brazilian album from 1973.
Peace & Love (Wadadasow) – Dadawah
Described by Norman Records as a “Classic long form spiritual reggae release from 1974 that has been a huge influence on subsequent artists. Four lengthy excursions into dubbed out, explorative soundscapes with hypnotic drums, spare guitar licks and heavy, heavy bass. Imagine something like a dub heavy, Jamaican Can and you are somewhere near the mark."
Semi-Legal On The Edge Of Culture – Dope
Wow. I'd forgotten just how good this is.
Bilingual – Pet Shop Boys
Pop Kids – Pet Shops Boys
Bilingual is such a hugely under-rated PSB's album. More percussive at times than usual, but full of pop splendour. As is Pop Kids appropriately enough.
Righteous Lite – Revolutionary Corps Of Teenage Jesus
Where Stephen Lironi becomes Martin Rev for the day. Excellent late 90's album now available on vinyl.
In Out In – Sonic Youth
Five track collection of soundchecks, jams, etc. As patchy as that may suggest on first listen.
