Been on holiday, so not much…

Russian Circles – Guidance. Militant post-rock, like Mogwai/ GYBE, but with added crunch, very good: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eWoJs4QkvwE

VA – I’m A Freak Baby. Been banging on to all and sundry about this excellent 3 CD comp of UK heavy psych/proto-metal from the late 60s/early 70s, but it really is very good – even The Guardian agrees with me ;-) https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/21/im-a-freak-baby-a-journey-through-the-british-heavy-psych-and-hard-rock-underground-scene-1968-1972-review-grey-grim-and-glorious Obsessives of this period will know a lot of this stuff, but there’s enough new, and more importantly, good stuff here to justify investigation. A few highlights:
Iron Claw: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eSRZz13YiqI (allegedly threatened with legal action by Sabbath ;-))
Egor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VloBI0OUT6c
Velvet Frogs: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OojTWyd5zD0

Thank you so much for posting this - I ruled this out when I first saw it forthcoming due to cost but after reading what you said bought it as my 45th birthday present to myself. And I'm loving it, totally my bag. Thanks dude!
