Not sure if I'd taken in that this was a Bob Stanley cocompiled set. It's been sitting on a shelf here for a while.
Read BS mention it in his column in Record Collector this month so dug it out.Got some pretty sublime stuff on it.
1st disc which is the one I've been playing so far starts with a cover of Universal Soldier which is pretty liberal.
He has a great voice and the arrangements are pretty good

Numero group release of heavy garage proggy stuff. Got some great guitar on it. & a pretty dark atmosphere.

Human Impact, s/t: debut album by a new group led by Chris Spencer of Unsane, with dudes from Cop Shoot Cop and Swans. Kinda sounds like a slightly more postpunk/industrial Unsane, with creepy atmospheric synths that add a surprising amount.

Was looking for that last week but wonder if its too obscure for local record shop to get in without ordering.
Would assume synth textures would be Jim Coleman who i know better for working samplers with C$C.

It's on Ipecac's Bandcamp page, if you're not a stickler for physical products.

this glitchy no-wave bluegrass influenced debut from Astroturf is quite good fun.

ooh nice thx!

Was turned onto this guy from the yawnsomely literal album covers thread, pretty decent country-funk stuff.

Andaolu Psych band from Turkey. Mixes very traditional sounding folk stuff with western influences. Does get pretty psychy in places.
I'm not 100% sure of teh sources for all of these tracks.
Think I might need to get the first actual lp and possibly the 2nd. Got this from somebody in Turkey on discogs last year I think.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/b97e8a8b8ef5178696865c2875589260/1541034
Nairobi based congolese band, infectious grooves and guitar. Sounds pretty danceable but rhythms are outside of funk tradition. Does have a bit of Latin in it as well as more traditional stuff. Songs are nice and longand instrumental breaks are great.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/b1b1e70970341950e6c30fd274c862bf/1464214
3rd lp by country groove band. Just rediscovered this. Would have prefered a set of the 1st 2 lps but I think that never appeared at teh time this Lemon reissue did.THis is still pretty good.

ha I was only recently exposed to the first to BJ albums. such a weird band.

Is there an extant cd release, looks like the old cds are all getting pretty pricey

no idea, I grabbed an MP3 dl from somewhere

For some reason pretty much non-stop 80s thrash. Megadeth, Atheist, Excel, Coroner, Ludichrist, D.R.I., and Testament. To-do: Anthrax, S.O.D., Vio-Lence, Sadus, Exodus, Nuclear Assault. I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling this stuff, but I'm going to ride it until it crashes and I have to listen to Lustmord for a week to cleanse my palette.

ive been listening to a bit of coroner as well, they are so good.

Latest edietion of the magazine's cover mounted cd.
For some reason I haven't really explored Sugar who start this off which i think I need to remedy.
The rest is pretty decent too. & another couple of things i need to look into more than i did at the time.
