Echo and the Bunnymen ‘Crocodiles’ - it must be at least ten years since I last played this stone classic debut album. I never dug it more than now; Epic Soundtracks ‘Rise Above’ - simple, charming songs gently rendered by the Swell Maps legend. Inhabits a similar half asleep world to Skip Spence’s wacked-out meisterwork ‘Oar’, but less lysergically. RIP, Kevin; Neil Young & Crazy Horse ‘Toast’ - still enjoying a fine record released two decades too late. ‘Boom Boom Boom’ is a masterpiece; Porcupine Tree ‘Closure/Continuation’ - I refer to my earlier comments re this album. Please try to hear it; Tangerine Dream ‘Cyclone’ - an album with vocals (well half of it anyway) is something of an anomaly in the Tangs’ vast back catalogue, but I’ve always loved it - even in 1978 when I’d temporarily dissed any band without short hair; Keith Jarrett ‘Sapporo’ - from the sprawling, intermittently brilliant ‘Sun Bear Concerts’; Beethoven: Symphony no.2 (LCP/Norrington) - probably the best performance of Norrington’s somewhat overrated first Beethoven symphony cycle IMHO; Brahms: Symphony no.1 (LCP/Norrington) - this is much better. Norrington isn’t afraid to play Brahms’ tempo marking as they’re written: a rare thing in my experience, and for once period strings don’t grate in such a late work as this; Beethoven: Symphony no.6/Mozart : Violin Concerto no.3 (w.Francescatti)/Wagner: Flying Dutchman Ov/Bruckner: Symphony no.9 (all Columbia SO/Walter) - satisfying programme of recordings from Bruno Walter’s late 50s indian summer; Beethoven: Symphony no.9 ‘Choral’ (LSO/Stokowski) - how I first heard this monumental work as an eight year old (see pic), and still something of a benchmark recording for me; Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A, Op.101 (Daniel Barenboim) - Barenboim’s latest (2019) recording of this underrated late sonata sings like a bird. Enjoy your week, friends. Dave x

The Music Of... - John Barry So many great pieces on this compilation. Live in Brighton 1975 - Can The second in the current run of live albums. Very little of this is anywhere near Can at their peak in my opinion, but no doubt I will still buy the third when it's released in October. Kiwanuka – Michael Kiwanuka A modern day classic as far as I'm concerned. I Trawl The Megahertz – Prefab Sprout The lengthy opening track is the stuff of genius. Electric Warrior – T.Rex Futuristic Dragon – T.Rex Bizarrely the track I enjoyed listening to this was My Little Baby off FD even though ultimately I know it's not as good as anything on EW! Also... Remix 12” - Liminanas De Pelicula – Liminanas / Garnier Entangled Routes - Pye Corner Audio Let's Emerge - Pye Corner Audio Novelty Waves (CDS) – Biosphere Covers – Cat Power Let Love In – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds The Boy Named If – Elvis Costello & the Imposters Under The Spell Of Joy – Death Valley Girls Club Sentimientos Vol 2 EP – DJ Python 3rd – Peter Gabriel Club Tongue EP – Greville It-nes – Hox Goud - Lay Llamas Sonancy - Loop Forever Dolphin Love – Connor Mockasin Roisin Machine – Roisin Murphy New Nonsense EP – The Nightingales Henry May Long – Max Richter Wailing – Wailing Souls
