I'll happily listen to the US one!

they are excellent

the record is great the center label on the vinyl has two eyeholes with red/blue plastic so you can use the record as a pair of 3D glasses to look at the cover

Permission to get excited, sir?

Permission granted!

Sounds prertty much like a more fleshed-out SiB. Which is good!

Looking back, 2018 was a pretty good year for this sort of thing (and I mean that broadly) between Sterbus, Army Of Moths, Major Parkinson, Slunq, Crayola Lectern, 7Shades, Thumpermonkey and probably a bunch more.

Also nice to see Tim's legacy (outside of the bands he influenced) gaining a little traction, did you see that clip of the music students performing one of his early written (but not recorded) compositions? Pretty great!

If you vote in the EOYs you'll be able to express your enthusiasm even more!

I'd love to see that video BTW - please link!

Incidentally, parallel to this thread's more retrospective gaze I have started, as a replacement for my time-travel concern, the following: Rolling herky-jerky 2019 - for not exclusively Cardiacsy 2019 content - the new NSRO rarities compilation might go there, for instance...but then so might a particularly baroque American indie-rock single

Good to know, ta!

Here is that thing, Piffol 100 Times...

That was pretty good!

Yeah, I thought so too, shared out by Sterbus on FB today.

Aight hive mind, I need a hand, where to start with Joanna Wang?

you can't go wrong with either Bob Music or House Of Bullies!

ty LJ!

Let us know how you get on with her!

Wildo!

if you speed the new Futureheads single up to 1.25x it sounds pretty Cardiacsy

is this the thread where I post that I'm going to see Steve Davis's prog band with one of Monsoon Bassoon tonight? after they play live there's DJ sets from Stevie D and Graham Massey from 808 State.

It certainly is! Let us know what you thought...

I was into it tbh. Drony analogue synth stuff with occasional bagpipes. Maybe a bit like Tangerine Dream or Cluster?

David Tibet was there, I guess he knows one of them. Graham Massey is DJing next then Steve Davis but I dunno if I'll hang around that long

Richard Larcombe's Lost Crowns are album of the day on 6Music, Stuart Maconie's choice for album of the year(so I guess he is useful for something after all).

that Utopia Strong album is really sweet, just wish it was longer

Not sure if this is the best thread for this but Hlhippie bobbins time travel reminded me about these guys. Where are we at with Henge.

New AOM is another enjoyable ride! Nothing really new or anything but they put all of themselves into it

New Arch Garrison looms, but I've dealt with that elsewhere...

Ad Nauseum live footage! Bob looking positively Jesus-like behind his kit, Jon looking about 12 years old.

Craig Fortnam's solo album is out soonish and all.

Heard the first couple of tracks from a new Danny Elfman solo record and it sounds like some Cardicas/Pond adjacent metal band like Major Parkinson, Mr Bungle or Slunq

Interesting...

Kinda don't think there would have been a Mr. Bungle without the pre-existence of Danny Elfman so ... makes sense

It's even called BIG MESS

I can hear Major Parkinson kinda, not Cardiacs but

Listened to the new Craig Fortnum this evening, it's lovely.

lol

Ah, apologies LJ, I must have forgotten that there is a CF thread on here :)

lol no need to apologise, I was tickled that we both bumped threads at exactly the same time!

on this thread I can add that the new Army Of Moths EP is great fun too - https://armyofmoths.bandcamp.com/album/the-canine-trilogy

Featuring the most beautiful instrumental about Suffolk-based longshore drift you're likely to hear this year, kids.

A Speck I Am is quite something, isn't it

Yes! And the closest thing I've heard him do, tonally, to the Shrubbies record.

I love that rather wobbly Philacorda dotted throughout the record, puts me in mind of Terry Riley.

of course! Arch Garrison has plenty more, naturally

think Ravensodd is my toppermost pick!

mark of the man that that's probably my...seventh? eighth? favourite album of his, and it's still really lovely

New instrumental record coming from Craig F

NSRO......but there's (pointedly) something missing :(

this is amazing but also I respect that nobody else on here could possibly like it. prove me wrong

Yesss

Been waiting for this remaster for so long (although technically it's just a "master" as the original tape version never had one), such a trip to finally hear this album in high definition.

Just need to update this old fan vid now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57AhyLSWs10

1972, and a well-known act, so probably doesn't belong on this thread, except it completely does.

dear old Viv invented Cardiacs too eh

Well! He's certainly at least invented William D Drake

Well it's an Innes track and Viv probably wasn't involved

Oh! Right. I don't know my Bonzos lore do I

Amazing, could absolutely be a Sea Nymphs tune!

slightly vaguely Cardiacsy prog-pop request:

is there anywhere to hear the early Richard Larcombe band Defeat the Young? there's an EP from 2001 that i can't find anywhere, even the actual CD of it doesn't seem to show up on discogs.

only slightly vaguely Cardiacsy prog-pop request:

does anyone know anything about this Zag and the Coloured Beads-related group - Gloup? there seems to be at least a whole album on casssette but the only traces i can find are these two tracks posted by a ZATCB member:

There's a DTY track on this comp:
