Replying to 1001realapes

John Martyn - Solid Air (Deluxe Edition, 2nd CD)
A revelation. Didn't know these versions existed. Like having him play them in my front room.

Idea Shower
Tracks from Hookworm's singer & others. Really nice psych stuff.

Mugstar - Ad Marginem
Really good. Must get round to watching the DVD.

Daryl hall - Sacred Songs
Great to revisit this. Some classic Fripp on this, making it a close relation to Scary Monsters.

Eat Lights Become Lights - Heavy Electric
One of the best krauty sounds around

Sunlight Service group - Bowling With the Bloody Head of Barbara Streisand
Great stuff - addictive!

Mono - For My parents
Lovely, if rather melodramatic! Like Sigur Ros on a sugar rush.

Nope - Revision
Hookworms - S/T

Black Bombaim - Titan

Six Organs - Ascent
Still getting lots of airplay round here.

Carlton Melton -Smoke Drip
Looking forward to their new one very much.

Thanks for reminding me about the Solid Air deluxe, Squid. I bought it when it came out, played it a lot, then it got swamped by other purchases. I love the intimacy and looseness of the second cd, and am wondering if I prefer it to the original, as I do with One World. Must replay soon. I'm also very interested by some of the others on your list, and note the repeat appearers. Oh for some more dosh.. you've been bookmarked. Again.

I've been enjoying that Mono Cd immensely, along with Rothko Chapel by Morton Feldman & Scott Walker's Drift
Swans The Seer has taken up most of the rest, stunning IMHO the Swans live CD was top of the 2012 list but this has knocked it off
any slack has been taken up by ELP,Feedtime and Jackson Browne
