Worm Orobourous - S/T. Still lush to my ears.

Trigger The Bloodshed - Degenerate. Powerful, young Brit death metal. Suprisingly good actually.

Abadden - Sentenced to Death. See above, though not quite of the same quality

Charles Mingus - Ah Uhm. Like it

Dee - Various drone tunes on a cd. Genuinely, really great stuff. Have to be honest, a lot of drone leaves me a bit cold. So much sounds like "Press effects pedals, press record, go make a cup of tea, come back, press stop, et voila! I am an artist!", but Dee's stuff is considered, textured and even in some ways, quite melodic. Excellent!

Beta Band - erm...2nd abandoned disc of first album. Intriguing and atmos heavy stuff.

Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of the Silent Earth: 3. Always kind liked this but never WOWed! Saw em at Glastonbury and now it all clicks much more for me. Funny how that can happen when you've seen someone live.

Tudor Acid - Merri Portland. Nice mix of Squarepusher meets Orbital electronica.

Guru Guru - Kanguru. Top Krautyness.

Circulus - The Lick on the Tip of an Envelope Yet to be Sent. Lush neo folky prog from medieaval nutters. Great stuff!

Philip Glass - The Essential. Toe-in-the-water type best of. Like it

Van Der Graaf Generator - World Record! Spikey!

Mystery Jets - Making Dens. Not heard 2nd, or new album, but I do like this.

Have a nice week vibe vandals x

That should be a kids tv programme, starring Ross Noble as Trigger, the not very handy assasin!

Might I recommend Symphonies 2 & 3, if you fancy getting a whole foot in?

when I first heard that lp I heard (pre-)echoes of mid 60s mod stuff like The who & Small Faces in it. I think it was something of an influence on a lot of that material, or possibly Mingus in general was. You can hear that it took an influence from a lot of blues/r&b itself.

Guru Guru - Kanguru. Top Krautyness.

I know this is Stephen Stapleton's favourite of their records. Not sure if it's their best. I guess their material falls into at least 2 categories because of line up changes, 1st 3 and the later stuff. Think 1st 3 are heavier guitar burnout scorchers which are extreme enough to verge on the industrial and later stuff while remaining pretty psychedelic is a lot less extreme ? Did find the early later stuff did retain some worth after hearing it dismissed beforehand.
