ZOMBIES Decca Stereo Anthology 2cd compi of the r+b/pop stuff from the most exam qualified band from the 60s. For a buncha swots they’re pretty dashed cooking. Seem more jazz influenced than most of the other bands I’ve heard from the time. SWANS Feel Good Now ’87 Children Of God era band live including 20 minute version of Blind Love which I always loved from the moment I saw it live. What this cd doesn’t have is the image of Mike Gira rolling around in a nappy.Wonder if they’re about to reissue 2 Anonymous Figures in a room which was the official bootleg of the next year’s heavy folk phase(I Think) HIGH ON FIRE Surrounded By Thieves About the most violent lp I’ve ever heard. Matt Pike takes out his frustrations by writing sword and sorcery/pagan primitive lyrics and assaulting the eardrums with his guitar and his bandmates drums and bass.Pike has the hoarsest voice that side of Lemmy methinks. SQUIRE OF SOMERTON Transverberations Weird psych type stuff that veers from trip-hoppy dance stuff to YES style guitars. Most eccentric. LITTER Distortions+ ’66 First lp by 60s punk/psych band. Mostly covers of earlier British Invasion stuff by The Who, Small Faces and The Yardbirds with killer guitar by Bill Strandloff. Here joined by the live versions of tracks from the second lp that were recorded during the filming for the film Medium Cool but replaced with the Mothers Flower Punk onscreen. Seems a shame since these are more muscular versions of the tracks and maybe replace the need to own the 2nd lp $100 Fine ETHIOPIQUES 13 The Golden Seventies Another volume of the series of African funk stuff. This is a few years later than the stuff I’d heard before coming from ‘76 and ’77. Thankfully hasn’t slid into the disco mire that was marring the music coming from the West at the same time. Has some guitar that verges on the metallivc. I’ve got to get some more of this series, what I’ve heard so far has been stellar. GAA Auf Der Bahn Zum Uranus Krautrock from ’73. Listening to this on my ghettoblaster I thought it sounded very Frisco Ballroom like, listening to it on headphones I’m not so sure. Still great trancey stuff with acoustic meets electric guitars. COIL The Golden Hare With The Voice of Silver The 2cd version of the Russian compilations. Frequently very eerie stuff between echoey acoustic stuff and electro beats. GUN CLUB Miami 2nd lp by LA postpunk band led by Jeffrey Lee Pierce.This is one of my all time fav lps. Weird mix of country type slide guitars over bass dominated sound. I hear this as close to the country lp that the Doors never recorded. I have this on cdr with the Death Party e.p. after it. I heard it was due a rerelease last year soi hopefully that’s forthcoming. If they have any sense they’ll bung out a 2cd thingy call it The Animal years and have the stuff I have here plus the early version of Walking With The Beast and The Las Vegas Story lp plus whatever out-takes. If they have any more sense they’ll get the live recording from Italy of Mr Duckworth and give it an official release. Np Cactus Cactology Oleo

GILA Night Works Muscular krautrock. Very trancey sounds like a good option if you’re looking for early 70s heavy. Mainly instrumental featuring the guitar of Conny Veit who was later with Popul Vuh. And is no relation to the Cabinet of Dr Caligari/same eyebrows as Blixa guy NAZZ Open Our Eyes 2cd compi of all the released material byTodd Rundgren’s first well known band. Heavy guitar dominated Brit invasion loving stuff. TRAFFIC John Barleycorn Must Die Originally solo lp by Stevie Winwood becomes 3rd classic lp by Traffic. Title track is a reworking of an old English Harvest folk tune.This is the remaster from a couple of years back complete with a couple of tracks live from The Fillmore from the time. I was surprised by how funky the lp sounded on first hearing it. Been meaning to buy it for ages. ISAAC HAYES Shaft Soundtrack Soundtrack to the blaxploitation movie. Here joined by the Bar-kays , The Movement and tHe Memphis strings and Horns. Mainly instrumental soundtracky music but I got this especially for the 20 minute version of Do Your Thing which cooks throughout. CACTUS Cactology Heavy blues band featuring rhythm section from Vanilla fudge, Guitarist from The Detroit Wheels . Initially formed while the Fudgers were waiting for Jeff Beck to get the nerve together to join. AUGUSTUS PABLO King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown One of the archetypal dub lps. Strangely not featuring much melodica considering who’s doing most of the lead. GROUP 1850 Agemo’s Trip To Mother Earth The 67 Dutch psych concept lp plus singles from 66 to 69. Very strange, the singles get pretty krautrocky. This is the version on Pseudonym with the 3d cover and glasses BLACK SABBATH Master Of Reality 3rd lp by Brum heavies. This might be their best . CHARLIE FEATHERS Wild Wild Party Hour+ bootleg cd by the rockabilly. Includes several different versions of several tracks. This is great but the sound does slip from time to time and its got no sleevenotes. Wonder what the Revenant lp’s like? GENESIS Nursery Cryme English pastoral sounding lp from 71. If I forget who its by I think its got its share of moments. I’m still trying to work out whivch hip-hop song starts with a sample of the musical box. Hope This ain’t the start of a lapse into proghood. GHOSTFACE KILLAH Ironman Very r’n’b based sound for the Wu with the great cadence. I think if I heard a live band playing something like this I’d be a happy chappy. This features The Delfonics on at least one track. ARCHIE SHEPP Fire Music Shepp from 66 with lp that gave a name to a genre though it ain’t quite that noisy. MC5 used to cover Hambone which I’d love to hear. This is pretty great r’n’b jazz including a great version of Girl From Ipanema. Strange to hear a trombone used in music this groovy. VARIOUS TURKISH DELIGHTS compi of Mainly 60s garage/psych stuff from Turkey. The combination of Beat/R’n’b with Turkish folk influence leads to something pretty psychy. I’ve read that this is far more garagey than Hava Nagile the other recent Turkish compi which was supposed to be the psych one. If that’s true and this sounds as cool as it do I wonder what that’s like. Stevo Np Cactus Cactology Oleo

Dear Man from the Ministry Are you proposing strict penalties for those who breach the guidelines? Fines or perhaps confiscation of any cd's or indeed vinyl which take the listener over the limit set by the Ministry. You cannot set such limitations without informing music listeners - after all we would like to avoid midnight raids if at all possible, and certainly no tabloid headlines publicly exposing those who abuse the new regulations! Further info would be very much appreciated! Also is there going to be a national register of those who are found to be in breach of the rules? AOTN

Third week in a row, too. WSYM Radio Session: Looking Back With Thighpaulsandra (pt. 1) As Cope's creative right-hand man on my favorite album of his, 20 Mothers, I thought I'd like this. I did, very much. Glad to see Todd Rundgren's clever Real Man starting things off (the closest an American has ever come to something the Teardrop Explodes' Brave Boys Keep Their Promises; and Todd's a son of Philly made good!) Plus the Osmonds alongside Krautrock and Sly Stone; my kind of programming. xxoo SOA

blimey o'reardon, that livened people up a bit didn't it. Just a viewpoint that I'm amazed how much people listen to, relating this to my listening habits which don't tend to listen to too much - and suddenly I'm adolf Heickman or whatever he is called. Was just relaying to people that sensation when you are buying or getting hold of so much each week that you never get round to listening to stuff you got. This nags at me, and every once in a while I refuse to buy stuff and try and catch up on stuff that I haven't played. It never works though and I start buying like billy o soon after. I think it is frustrating that there is a virtually endless amount of music to discover and get into, but listening to one thing means you neglect something else after a while. Just relating my personal music experiences, which is surely what this unsing part is all about, right?
