The Kinks ‘At The BBC’ (selections) - this box is an embarrassment of riches to any Kinks fan, full of great takes on great and lesser known Kink classics, live stuff, and revealing interview snippets; Dr Feelgood ‘Down At The Jetty’ - well, I had to spin this again after this week’s sad news. Was there ever a more original and distinctive English guitarist than Wilko Johnson? And what a band he had back then; Julian Cope ‘World Shut Your Mouth’ - the Drude’s baroque pop solo debut is still up there with his finest albums forty years on; Marillion ‘An Hour Before It’s Dark’ - that this marvellous band remains a cult - albeit a large one - is beyond me. You’ll never hear them on Later, and that’s not to that programme’s credit. This is a fabulous, distinctive, entertaining album, superbly performed and great sounding. Yet you’ll struggle to find it on any mag’s best of 2022 lists (short of Prog, maybe). Eff’em all. Trust me, this is modern rock music at its finest; Neil Young & Crazy Horse ‘World Record’ - no, not an homage to VdGG’s classic 1976 LP (now wouldn’t THAT be something) but a typically ramshackle Americana session extravagantly spread across two short CDs at double album price. He’s made better albums; Killing Joke ‘Revelations’ - truly horrible and mesmerising. No-one else sounds like this; Porcupine Tree ‘Closure/Continuation’ - another band you won’t hear on Later; OM ‘With Dom Um Romao’ - OM’s third album was a collaboration with Weather Report’s one-time percussionist, sounding much like that venerable fusion group but without keyboards. Most agreeable, methinks; Schubert: String Quintet in C (Melos Quartett/Rostropovich) - decent take of one of the most sublime chamber works of all time; Beethoven: Diabelli Variations (Mitsuko Ushida) - a critically acclaimed reading, and justifiably so; Gluck: Iphigénie et Auride Overture/Mozart: Piano Concerto no.25 (w.Barenboim)/Haydn: Symphony no.95/Beethoven: Symphony no.5 (all Philharmonia/Klemperer) - a reminder that the Philharmonia of the 50s and early 60s was at least the equal of any of the world’s greatest orchestras, especially when Karajan or Klemperer was in charge. And Klemperer’s 1955 Beethoven Fifth sounds pretty damn definitive to these ears. And that’s me for another week. Good vibes to all Dave x

Low - A Lifetime Of Temporary Relief Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstacy Black Sabbath - Never Say Die Bee Gees - Horizontal The Beach Boys - Surf's Up Füxa - Very Well Organized Elton John - Elton John (3LP Mexican comp) Pet Shop Boys - Alternative Dave & Toni Arthur - Morning Stands On Tiptoes Once Dreamt - Once Dreamt Scott Walker - Stretch Scott Walker - We Had It All The Walker Brothers - If You Could Hear Me Now Cardiacs - Songs For Ships & Irons Cardiacs - A Little Man & A House & The Whole World Window The Dream Academy - The Morning Lasted All Day: A Retrospective + ABBA Voyage live - a great way to end the week - the 'ABBAtars' are a remarkable feat of technology, although there are still some elements that break the illusion that you are really seeing the fab four live in their prime. This barely matters - what this show really excels at is reclaiming ABBA from all the camp and kitsch connotations that have been foisted on them for too long and instead presents them as an absolutely stunning pop/rock/disco group with a truly incredible catalogue of songs presented loud and live by the excellent musicians positioned to the left of the stage, combined with absolutely stunning visuals that often place ABBA closer to prog rock than Eurovision. Starting the set with the eerie The Visitors sets out the stall perfectly. Highly recommended.

Coupla Weeks Here. Had a shitty dose of Bronchitis fer the last 5 weeks, feeling a bit better now tho. P J Harvey - B_Sides, Demos and Rarities Pye Corner Audio - Black Mill Tapes Thomas Leer - Contradictions Sweet Exorcist - Spirit Guide to Low Tech Hawthon - Earth Mirror Coil - Live Lodz Hawkwind - Friends and Reations Lil Obeah - From Transylvania https://www.iriemag.com/respect-lil-obeah-from-transylvania/ Banshees - Juju/ Kaleidoscope/ Dreamhouse Magazine - Second Hand Daylight The Leaf Library - Library Music Abronia - Map Of Dawn Kinda remind me of Heron Oblivion in parts, good stuff. https://cful.bandcamp.com/album/abronia-map-of-dawn Men - OST Ministry - Mora Hygeine Wrangler - A Situation Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express Heads - Undersided The Pop Group - Y Various - John Savage's 1977-79 Various - Eins Und Zwei Und Drei Various - Electrical Language (Synth pop 78-84) Just finished the John McGeoch biog. Overall felt it was a bit meh, and a way too fawning. Half way through Bobby Gillespie's effort, not that great, seems to mostly be a bunch of lists of records and gigs he went too. I'm sad to say the same abut Kid Congo Powers too after looking forward to it fer ages.

Two weeks worth... Grace – Jeff Buckley Sefronia – Tim Buckley I was a big fan of Grace at the time but nowadays it seems to overwrought to my ears. His father's Sefronia is generally considered too MOR but I have always loved it. Live At The Witch Trials – The Fall Dragnet – The Fall I am reading the excellent You Must Get Them All book so thought I would listen to these. Rattus Norvegicus – The Stranglers I went to see Hugh Cornwell live in a small venue recently. The first half consisted of solo material. I'm not familiar with his solo output and there was little to entice me further to be honest. The second half was Stranglers stuff including Strange Little Girl, Golden Brown and, perhaps surprisingly, Grip and London Lady off this. Also... Cast Of Thousands – The Adverts Rubber Soul – The Beatles Diamond Dogs – David Bowie Changes – Charles Bradley Live In Cuxhaven 1976 – Can Supernature - Cerrone Erratics & Uncomformities - Craven Faults Enclosures - Craven Faults You Got A Problem With Me – Julian Cope England Expectorates – Julian Cope Rome – Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi Searching For The Young Soul Rebels – Dexys Midnight Runners Too-Rye-Ay – Dexys Midnight Runners Veiled State - Ekca Liena Life Is People – Bill Fay This Is The Modern World – The Jam Sound Affects – The Jam Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround – The Kinks Tick Tick Tick – Stephen Mallinder You Are The Quarry – Morrissey Shazam – The Move Close To The Glass – The Notwist Time Booms X De Devil Dead – Lee Perry Sally Can't Dance – Lou Reed Con-Struct – Conrad Schnitzler & Schneider TM Linval Presents Dub Landing – Scientist/Linval Thompson Adventure – Television Puzzle People – The Temptations Psychedelic Shack – The Temptations Original Soundtrack – 10cc Rejoice Rejoice – Transglobal Underground Here Comes Everybody – The Wake Scott – Scott Walker Big Wheels Of Motown – V/A
