It's just about to thunderstorm here, so I'm getting blinder of headache...anyways, not done this is a while...
Craven Faults - Standers.
Still not really digging this, it's all a bit samey, more so than the other releases, which are, generally, ace. Well, except for the track Sun Vein Strings which is a belter. https://cravenfaults.bandcamp.com/album/standers
Godflesh - Purge
This Has got to be the weakest Godflesh album I've heard. They tracks never really resolve into anything substantial or punishing, which, lets be honest, is what we (and by we of course I mean 'I') want from a Godflesh Album.

Electric Wizard - S/T
Now that's what I'm talking about! those geetars make the room positively vibrate with their detuned loveliness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoGB8JNx1GQ
Coil - Equinox/ Solstice EP's
Beestings/ Magnetic North/ Moon's Milk, so many great tracks on these EP's. This is the later, more song driven Coil, which led to Musick To Play In The Dark etc... Still not really anyone like em' as far as I'm concerned.

10 000 Russos - Kompromat
Kinda like Kreidler or Motor Guzzi or Follakzoid in being a rock band reproducing electronic music through geetars and drums etc... C'ept these guys add a hint of space rock geetar repetition. Like em' a lot. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ky4wkQHDCeH6cTTzTGKIwdZ6p9cETcFLc
Pere Ubu - Trouble On Big Beat Street
Enjoying this a lot. Mind you, if Andy Diagram is involved it's usually a sign of a goody. After pre Covid health scares, ole DT bounced back to everyone's surprise, and this is the lockdown album that followed. https://pereubu.bandcamp.com/album/trouble-on-big-beat-street
The Orb - Abolition of the Royal Familia
Over the last several years, The Orb have produced some top records. Dare I say even eclipsing the efforts of their early years. https://theorb.bandcamp.com/album/abolition-of-the-royal-familia
QOTSA - In Times New Roman
Not a great deal of the top riffage of R Rated or Songs Fr The Deaf. S'all a bit meh! really. Not the wort thing I've heard of late, but yeah, Meh.

Cope - Jehovahkill
Soft Cell - Non Stop Erotic Cabaret, Plus Other Stories
Enjoyable live album that covers all the bases.

Moss Icon - Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly
Wow! how did this pass me by in the 80's? Well, cos' it wasn't released till 93', long after the bands demise. Now it gets a re-up. Kinda Shellac, meets Jesus Lizard meets... well fill in the blanks for your fave band of similar ilk. Only one duffer as fa as I'm concerned. Well worth your time.

Echo and The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain/ Radio Sessions
Brainticket - Celestial Ocean
Wire - Pink Flag
Goat - Headsoup/ Run To Ya Mama remiixes
Beat Band - 3 EP's
Still a corker, even after all these years.
Creepshow - Yawning Abyss
Enjoyed the first Wrangler + John Grant = Creepshow collab so took a punt on the second. Even better as it turns out"!

Ultramarine - Send and Return
Decent Ep' from one time 90's ambient Houser's
https://blackfordhill.bandcamp.com/album/send-and-return
Various
Dave Brock Presents - This Was Your Future
