Modern Nature - No Fixed Point In Space
On first hearing this last year I thought it was a bit of a fart in a windtunnel, it;s so fey it's barely there, but when insomnia rules, I've come to find it deeply soothing. Deffo one for headphones. Beautiful record.

Population II - Electrons Libres de Quebec
French Canadian psychsters second long player. Can't say it's a s good as the last LP, but it does have it's moments C'tau Boute being onhttps://population2.bandcamp.com/track/ctau-boutee of them.
Jesus and Mary Chain - Sunset 666 (Live Hollywood Palladium)
Don't think I've ever heard them so good live. Great set too.

Walter Wegmuller - Tarot 4CD
I've only got youtube to compare to sound quality wise, but I gotta say this remaster and remix sounds mighty fine to my rather ancient and losing the top end ears. Perfect tune in or zone out sounds. Coulder made more of the cover etc... but guess it's a digital repro sans cards of the original.
Tony Conrad/ Faust - Beond The Dream Syndicate
William Shatner - Ponder the Mystery (revisted)
I've a massive soft spot for Shatners wry delivery and the proggy sounds of this vaguely Zodiac Cosmic Sounds vs The Trip vibe of this record. If you skim the various digital tv channels you can see he's stepped into Spocks 'In Search Of' shoes with the amount of mystery/supernatural content he contracted to front. https://williamshatner.bandcamp.com/album/ponder-the-mystery-revisited
Mort Garson - Journey To The Moon and Beyond
Yeah, it's cheesy as fuck, but I've got a soft spot for most of Garsons daffy electronic plinkings. https://mortgarson.bandcamp.com/album/journey-to-the-moon-and-beyond
Thomas Leer/ Robert Rental - The Bridge
Had a bit of a Leer/Rental moment this week or so. Loads of interesting content and interviews up on UTwat. Love that most of this album is two Wasp synths, guitar, bass voice and tapes. Less is deffo more. Mind you, Leers more recent stuff isn't too shabby either. https://futurehistoric.bandcamp.com/album/emotional-hardware
Eric Random – Subliminal 1980-1982 (comp)
See above. Think early Random got closest to the beloved (by me) Cabs paranoid musics vibe *thugh that coulbe be the mallinder
/Kirk collabs mixed up in the shuffle). Recent collection on vinyl of above album. A Boy Alone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOH1AoVjGPc
Second Layer - Courts Of Wars
Could this sound further from the band The Sound? Post punk electronics and guitars make a meaty mix. https://secondlayer.bandcamp.com/album/courts-or-wars
Dub Syndicate - Fear of a Green Planet.
1998 album gets the 2024 treatment. Deffo seems an uptick in the O-U-Sound/Sherwood front in teh last year or two. Which is only a good thig to me, means I can reaquaint/tune in again to their unique take on dub and beyond.

Cope - Peggy Suicide (deluxe)
Don't ever get bored of this. Missed out on his Robin Hood release sadly, was hoping a family member (Yes you Jess!) was gonna pick it up for me for X mas, ho hum. It is up on UTwat, so I have heard it, and it's deffo his best in ages.
Various - God Unknown Records singles club Vol:1
Toppity good selection of modern psych and beyond.
