Submerged But Floating Still - http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/quietspace/quiet-space-february-26th/3842870
an Australian podcast of recently released ambient tracks from the UK. Soporific and perfect for a Sunday morning (enhanced by the fact that the presenter sounds a bit like he could be the secret love child of Bob Harris and Murray from the Flight of the Conchords).

Epic45 - various tracks, especially liking With Our Backs to the City - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krKjAONyAtY

Lower Dens - Brains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyxzjF8IjE8

Plinth - Collected Machine Music

Tyneham House - S/T

Biosphere - Compilation 1991-2004

Still waiting for my turntable pre-amp to be repaired, so still no vinyl - curses! Last night I dug out my tape deck to listen to the new Dylan Carson Albion tape, but that died on me too. I did manage to listen to it on an old ghetto blaster this afternoon though, so that's some consolation. Intersting tape it is too.

Clinic - Bubblegum
Been on a bit of a Pete Fowler thing this week having got a couple of his posters, and came across the vid he did for Clinic's "I'm Aware" - ace!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuDQAEOMWWo

And continuing the Pete Fowler theme,
A Psychedelic Guide to Monsterism Island
is a cracking CD, featuring the likes of Belbury Poly, Wolf People Amorphous Androgynous and Gruff Rhys.

White Hills - Live at Roadburn
Mark Fry/The A Lords - I Lived In Trees
Zombi - Escape Velocity
Steve Miller Band - Children Of The Future
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live, Tales Of The Unexpected
The Nazz - Open Our Eyes
Shirley Collins - The Classic Collection

Sylvester Anfang II - Latitudes
What I've listened to most this week, really very good.

Silver Stairs of Ketchikan - 20:20
Charlie from Thoughtforms does her solo thing, and very good it is too.
http://silverstairsofketchikan.bandcamp.com/

The Chasms - Alchemical Postcards, Advance Paranoia Advance
Still loving this lot. If you haven't checked them out yet, do so ASAP:
http://www.thechasms.co.uk/

As The Crow Flies - The Advisory Council.

Black River Falls - Cathal Coughlan.

Dead Magick - Dead Skeletons.

Fear Engine - Shock Headed Peters.

Free For All - Ted Nugent. I'd have voted for him in '76. This is great.

Heavy/Metamorphosis - Iron Butterfly

Isla - Portico Quartet.

Lost In The Former West - The Fatima Mansions.

Past Life Martyred Saints - EMA.

Reality Bath - Nice Strong Arm. Trip, trip down memory lane when I was young, handsome and free with reality kept at a safe distance.

Saw Delight - Can. Is this still generally disliked? Probably my favorite Can album. Must go back to Soon Over Babaluma as well. Many thanks to Fatalist.

Shoot! - Hedvig Mollestad Trio.

Slugs and Toads - The Reflections. Bit of a Karl Blake thing going on this week, I can't be a happy bunny. Relaxing to Toy Dog Ripped By Cat... Is that normal?

The Future Will Destroy You - Viva Voce.

The Isness - Amorphus Androgyness.

The Night - Sula Bassana.

Transmalinnia - Lumerians.

(Mankind) The Crafty Ape - Crippled Black Phoenix. A good album I think. Confident and ambitious.

Tracks : Rolling Stone - Terje Rypdal. Wonderful. 20 minutes plus but doesn't flag at all. When prog is too good to be prog. Again, thanks to Fatalist.

Modern Music – Be Bop Deluxe
Some good moments here – I particularly enjoyed hearing Kiss In Light again.

Psychedelic Revolution – Julian Cope
I played this once or twice when I first got it but then kinda avoided playing it further for a few weeks whilst all the big discussion were going down here. I think subconsciously that I didn’t want to be too influenced by all thoughts and opinions. But anyway, after hearing it again I like it – not sure how much I’m gonna end up rating it but the signs are good despite the, er, odd lyrical reservation.

Lost Souls – Doves
I've loved hearing this one again – a genuinely great LP IMO. Not sure they ever bettered this tbh.

The Infotainment Scan / Middle Class Revolt – The Fall
Neither are their best by any means, but as always there are tracks well worth hearing. I didn’t even remember It’s A Curse on the former, but it’s great!

Six – Mansun
It’s all over the shop, but you have to admire their ambition! I've also played their earlier Wide Open Space single loads this past week – what a fab pop song, with lots of interesting little bits going on in the background with the guitars and vocals.

Dead Cities, Red Seas, Lost Ghosts – M83
I think this was the 3rd week on the trot I've played this. I don’t know why I haven’t checked anything else by this fella, because I rate this electronic pop highly. Mournful is a word that tends to spring to mind! And one track, Gone, is one of my fave tracks of the past ten years.

Estefonia The Great EP – My Laundry Life
The first track on this is brilliant – it’s lovely melodic pop song pitched roughly somewhere between The Boy With The Thorn In His Side and Driving Away From Home.

Revolution EP – Retribution Gospel Choir
New material available as free download from the official website.

Playlist November 2006 – V/A
Old Uncut cd with a nifty track from Dan Sartain, the aforementioned Wide Open Space and a live version of Rescue by the Bunnymen with lots of Doorsy organ on it. I like this song a lot apart from the chorus which has always sounded a bit limp to my ears. I've always liked the “Is the blues I’m singing?” bit at the end, and I still do but it does a bit daft now, because no, it isn’t the blues, Ian. It’s early 80’s alternative pop sung by a Scouse bloke with a funny haircut and being a bit on the short-sighted side doesn’t make you Blind Lemon McCulloch. Still, it's an enjoyable version all the same!

Also...
Ass – Badfinger
Green River - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Giraffe - Echoboy
Spunk – Sex Pistols
Now & Then – The Who

Plus Live stuff by The Doors and Michael Rother, an old Radio session from The Kinks and a few old Moby singles.

Hail!

El Doom & The Born Electric - S/T. Unbelievably bloody great!! A scando-prog metal pile-up where Mastodon & Opeth crash into VDGG style idiosyncratic vocals and arrangements, occasional pumping Heep hammond and 70's prog meets 21st century metal to form a truly fantastic hybrid beast of extreme awesomeness with a sniff of Zappa style absurdity on the side. For prog-metal & 70's rock enthusiasts I cannot recommend this enough. Bit early for albums of the year and all that but this RULES! Also features the lyric "...born out of a colostomy bag" as a selling point!

Element - Corrupt Desire. This too is excellent. Metallica worship melds with almost Floydian and/or post-rock soundscapes to great effect. Thrash-prog! Like it lots!

Liquid Graveyard - The 5th time I die.
Julian Cope - Psychedelic Revolution.

School of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire. Like these a lot, although I gather they are now down a duo, which is a shame cos they're gonna miss those wispy and ethereal harmonies from the 2 sisters.

The Chasms - Alchemical Postcards. (Thanks for nod Squid! Just nabbed the other stuff too!) Noisy but nice. Funny thing is, track 3, which is the most like a conventional song, was really bugging me with what I thought it sounded like. Then the penny dropped and the vocals remind me of Franz Ferdinand but doing noise/space rock.

Have a nice week x

801 - Live

The Associates - Sulk. Found it quite a heavy listen this time around. Dark stuff

Akron/Family - Meek Warrior

Cosmic Jokers - s/t

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs. Definitely growing on me

Apse - Spirit. Lovely Moody eerie post rock kinda vibe

Date Palms @ Miss Peapods about October 11'

Then there was stuff beginning with P like:

Pink Floyd - Piper & Dark Side

Peaking Lights - 936

Pink Fairies - Never Never Land

Primal Scream - Exterminator

Psychedelic Furs - s/t & Talk Talk Talk. Criminally underrated band me thinks.
