chrisp65 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Lots of covers on this, but bloody hell it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 not the best album I've ever bought, but hey, they can't all be on your desert island discs list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 1, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2019 From 2010, The Time and Space Machine - Set Phaser to Stun (CD not vinyl) - It's in that area where psychedelic rock meets trippy pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 2, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2019 £ee $cratch Perry - Rainford. The latest joint effort between the godlike genius Adrian Maxwell Sherwood and Rainford Hugh Perry I even braved the red hordes assembling for the victory parade to get into town for this today, which I'd normally avoid like the plague but I wasn't waiting another week, I've only been waiting a full year since it was announced it was happening. Nice posthumous use of a Style Scott drum track on Makumba Rock which also features LSP chanting "United Kingdom - Charles won't be King!" Lovely backing vocals on a number of tracks by AMS's daughters Emily and Denise (Can't wait for her first album later in the year) Also features quite a few of the On-U regulars Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbish, George Oban, Crucial Tony & Mr Magoo, (from Creation Rebel) and Crocodile (from African Headcharge) Its chock full of the usual AMS production tricks and on first listen is as good as I expected it to be Here's the album closer, the story of his life... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I dabbled with the idea of picking that up yesterday but didn't. I'd only heard the one track and he sounded really quite frail on it. I'll have another listen later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 3, 2019 Russian outfit Gnoomes' new album Mu! Out now on Rocket Records. Plenty of motorik beats, hints of shoegaze with some Komische pop influences too. Definitely reminiscent of Klaus Dinger Sort of a bit like TVAM crossed Les Big Byrd for a more modern description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 3, 2019 Sacred Paws - Run Around the Sun on Rock Action (This is so far removed from Mogwai...) Sort of post-punk meets 80's indie and does a summer pop record 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2019 Killdozer - For Ladies only. An album of covers, it's really not that good, in fact it's mainly awful save for the version of American Pie, which is the reason I bought it and the reason I shall keep it. But as an album, nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2019 I may have posted this before. The absolutely iconic Pillows and Prayers - A Cherry Red Label Compilation that sold for 99p or less. Even back in 1982 they were essentially giving these away. Plenty more labels followed suit with these cheap sampler LPs but this was always amongst the best, hardly a really duff track on it, an eclectic mix, even though Everything but the Girl between the two of them appear four times. Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have a solo track each, The Marine Girls one and EBTG another.. It does kind of flow correctly as an album though. A truely democratic album, it was cheaper than a single, everyone could afford it and nearly everyone I knew who was into the Indie side of the music scene back then, owned a copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2019 Another compilation. Though this is more of the flogging a dead horse type. All Stax records tracks. I think I bught this second hand a long time ago for the DJ set (Emergency records for covering all bases), probably for Booker T and Eddie Floyd. But it does have some great tracks other than those on it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 7, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2019 One of today's purchases Drokk - Music Inspired by Mega City One A Soundtrack to an imaganry Judge Dredd Film by Geoff Barrow (Beak> & Portishead) & his film score collaborator Ben Salisbury Released originally in 2012 but re-released today with added extras in a lovely die cut embossed sleeve resembling an old large floppy disk (yeah Peter Saville eat your heart out) It's a very minimalist droney dark ambient album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
