when that 99p purchase earlier in the week provides loads of 'OOOOOHHHH its this ... ' moments.

so much fun spread across 2cds.

jerkcurb — 'air con eden'

just released today, but pretty much better than any other new release i've heard this year not by abdullah ibrahim. such a cliched evaluation, but it's absolutely beautiful.

NUmero group release of anachronistic sounding 1977 lp. It sounds like it should be from about 5 years, possibly more earlier.
Have heard comparisons made to Astral Weeks. I hear Bioll Withers among other things.
Came with a 5" 33rpm single that I had thought was going to be normal size and mess up the postage. I think the tracks on taht are on the end of the cd anyway.

collection of recordings glen Campbell made as demoes for Elvis Presley. Seems to be right around the time Campbell is making a name for himself solo though I can't find dates in the linernotes. So seems mid 60s semi blue eyed soulish stuff among other influences.
Quite enjoyable, turned up in a local sale so I thought I'd give it a chance

Mojo picked Best of the year, seems a couple of months early doesn't it? I needed a 3rd disc for my 3-changer and this does have some interesting stuff on it.

man, that willie wright looks clean. really want to hear it!

been really enjoying two abdullah ibrahims from the 80s this morning. kind of larger arrangements of some of his best stuff from the late 70s / early 80s. african river closes with 'the mountain of the night' which is SO DAMN CATCHY. i seriously want to learn it and record my own version of it. fantastic stuff.

going to be MP3 but I guess it gives you an idea.

nice, will definitely add to my wishlist. thanks for the heads up!

That Willie Wright album is a thing of beauty.

yeah i was unimpressd by the Leams overall but tbh love that first cover to death. main guy later went full fash iirc.

that would explain why it sounds like the work of an idiot, then!

King Crimson, Audio Diary 2014-2018. A 5CD box, one disc for each year. A very short track from the 2017 disc comes from the show I attended.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/5ab4ed582bdb68acbbf1934beced0513/6530168
Current London based folk singer's lp on rituals etc concerning May. She has a great voice and is trying to update folk , but I'm surprised by the inclusion of songs with very archaic sympaties, as I was when i saw her playing live yesterday.
Had teh choice of 3 cds by her after the gig. Not sure if i went for the best one, this i sher latest one which has Daviud Tibet guesting on one track. Quitie nice, not sure it's her best of the 3.
Gig was good, was part of a series of afternoon concerts that have happened at the local university. Enjoyed it anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/6bf5a2c76d05a234d3db126c71d59922/1618331
The only one of the remastered cds that I have got so far . Hope i get a chance to get the other 3 or the whole box.
THis sounds great now anyway. Not sure when the last time I heard teh actual lp was, I don't think I had it on cd and don't think I found any kind of remaster for it anyway. Later 2 of the Flying Teapot trilogy seem to have had some attempt at sound improvement on earlier issues i think.
Wish I'd got both voilumes fo Daevid Allen's GOng Dreaming before SAF disappeared. 2nd one is pretty great.
NOt sure what I'm missing in terms of linernotes & packaging by having the individual cds not the box too.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/8c0ed334180f1152e071c75fdf087253/7728122
Current oregon based psych band who have this released through cardinal fuzz.

Something has come over me, and I'm listening to loads of Black Metal. I liked this band The Black Dahlia Murder...but to wade through the crap on Spotify's Black and Death Metal lists is a chore.

I like this because it's dark and scary but funny at the same time. I can hear the similarities between indie and hardcore I used to like, and I didn't expect it.
