Finally caught friken covid. Don't feel to bad tho truth be told.
Bauhaus - Press the Eject/Sky's Gone Out/Bela Sessions
Currently re-reading the very old SAF Bauhaus biog by Ian Shirley. A little sycophantic in parts but mostly solid. Hence back catalogue diggage. For me, Press The Eject is a little like Space Ritual in being a solid representation of the band where they shone most.
Love and Rockets - Earth Sun Moon/ ST/My Dark Twin
See above. My kids bought me one of those 5 albums box sets of L&R a few years ago for a birthday gift, knowing I wanted to replace a few vinyl bits. Gotta say, till these last months I'd not bothered with the later stuff. Pleasantly surprised how good much of it is, well beyond those godawful 80's 'big drum' sounds.
The Orb - Orbsession v:1/ Metallic Spheres in Color remix EP
Another two new to me Orb records that are deffo more than half decent. The Mettalic Spheres remix if pure gold if you enjoy that early 'ultraworld' Orb period. Plenty of jokey samples etc..

FSOL - Environment 7.003
In A Similar vein to the above, FSOL seem to be minig that Lifeforms era with various unreleased DAT mixes and recordings of the time. Good stuff!

Silver Apples and Makoto Kawabata - Mirage
Kinda what you'd expect soundwise, not something thats gonna get a spin often, but i'm glad it exists when a track turns up on shuffle. Also makes me feel a little better about my own aweful tuneless sonic experiments.

Still hitting the spot.
