V/A - The Outer Church
Amazing 2 CD comp of out there eclectica with a better that 80% hit rate in terms of quality. Couldn't put it better than this rather nice review....
http://thequietus.com/articles/13271-the-outer-church-compilation-review

Outstanding moments for me include tracks by Broken Three, These Feathers have Plumes, The Wyrding Module and Grumbling Fur to name a select few. Loads of Coilesque moments for those who enjoy that kinda diversion.
Oh, Free to download EP/LP by Wyrding Module Here....

Maniqui Lazer - Dead Celebration
Great LIARS informd racket (track 1 and 2 could come straight off Drums Not Dead) but great nontheless. Pretty much what the slightly disappointing WIXIW should have been to these ears.

Eagleowl - This Silent Year
Great Scottish downbeat/tragipop ala Arab Strap with orchestral/string asides.

White Rainbow - Prism Of Eternal Now

White Hills - So You Are, So You'll Be
IMHO, best thing so far by WH.

Aqua Nebula Oscillators - Third

High Wolf - Kairos: Chronos

AMT - In Search Of The Lost Divine
Track 'Space Speed Suicide' is just awesome, turning out to be one of my fav' AMT releases since La Novia (though doesn't sound much like it).

Destruction Unit - Deep Trip
Fabbo noise/psych/space rock for when you just need an Arrrr and an Ahhhh moment all on the same record.

Have a better one!

That's one serious review for the Destruction Unit album. When the comparators are the golden age lineups of Chrome and Hawkwind, I have no choice but to sit up and play attention.

Heads Up for the recommendation.

Yeah, the Destruction Unit album is a goody. Think the review over did the Hawkwind comparisons, but I can deffo hear the Chrome sound in there.
Mind you, I pretty much buy anything on the Sacred Bones label, gotta be one of my fav' labels of the last few years.

They cover everything from alt folk through punk rock and psych to synth pop and quasi industrial. Don't think there's a release by them that I haven't rated to some degree, not that I have them all. Great quality control, and a great 'corporate' image to boot.

Here's Destruction Units label written bumf...

"Destruction Unit are a band from Arizona. Destruction Unit play loud rock music. Destruction Unit have recorded a long playing record. Destruction Unit think you should buy it. It is morphine boogie for the 21st century noise addict. A spiritual odyssey of sadomasochistic self-loathing with songs about love and freedom. The world is a sick place and Destruction Unit is it’s medicine. But you better act fast before its as illegal as the black market medicine these guys must have taken to make such a record. This line-up has released several cassettes on their own label Ascetic House, a small run LP, Void on Jolly Dream and have an upcoming limited edition 7-inch on Suicide Squeeze Records. Deep Trip is their first proper studio record, recorded by Ben Greenberg of The Men, Pygmy Shrews and Hubble, and Kyle Keays at Vacation Island in NYC, and mastered by Kris Lapke of Alberich and Josh Bonati, this is brooding American psychedelia, modern psych, debt and war psych. The future of Rock and Roll burning through three twin reverbs and a pound of grass."


And if you feel like investigating the label...

If yuo've not heard em' already, you may enjoy the band Pop.1280 too, they have a distinct Chromish edge to some of their songs. Particularly recommend the album 'The Horror'.

Been listening to the Destruction Unit album all fuckin' day, really gotten under my skin.
Just came to me who they remind me of most (and as a Chrome fan I'm sure you'll approve) ...

Helios Creed

Specifically, soundwise, 'The Last Laugh' album comes to mind.

Gotta say, Deep Trip is shaping up to be an album of the year for me.
