The Strokes - 'Is This It' album

U.S. import edition I think. I forget this record, doesn't get many plays. Excellent if in the right mood.

 

[Fudgemaster]

Deodato, Love Island ( no, not that one on telly), LP just arrived.

It is a stunning pressing, soo quiet. If you have not seen the definitive manga film, or never heard this soundtrack? Then you are missing something very special. Magical.

Was Dire Straits Brothers in Arms

Is Dion Yo Frankie

 

[Vinniemac]

Johnny Hodges and Ben Webster small group sessions. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E7L7ZWS/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

I never get tired of listening to Johnny Hodges.

 

[DAVEDWACK]

The Cure Standing on a Beach The Singles on vinyl

• Uncharted Territories - Dave Holland, Evan Parker, Craig Taborn, Ches Smith. Released last month and it crept up on me - https://daveholland.bandcamp.com/album/uncharted-territories
• Dave Holland Big Band - Overtime http://daveholland.com/recording/ssc3028-dave-holland-big-band-overtime
• The Orb - No Sounds are out of bounds: http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-orb-no-sounds-are-out-of-bounds/
• Following a little fanboy snippet of a thing on Radio 4 iPlayer... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b88k6l I revisited Aphex Twin: Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt2 EP (quite old, dating back to the prehistoric era of 2015) slipped by me. Like it a lot and probably more than I did Syro. https://bleep.com/release/56481-aphex-twin-computer-controlled-acoustic-instruments-pt2-ep

T++ Wireless EP.

https://honestjons.com/shop/preview/36167

Sort of the kind of dub primitivism with African reconstruction that clogs up every single ****ing online artist led music streaming service, except this is better. It has a far deeper and richer methodology than its peers and sits a little apart from the mainstream of Grime meets Jungle meets Breakbeats meets Dub. Strip it all back, to a Basic Channel-esque minimalism with just a hint of the original sounds (and more than a little of the Monolake collab where T++ cut his teeth) and you have this Wireless EP. Really, what's not to like?

Sun Electric - Live Japan 30-7-94

https://boomkat.com/products/30-74-94-live

Lovely live - almost new-age long extended excursions into trance. I was supposed to be working today but I decided not to. The fields are being mown and its a glorious smell I have a fully armed and operational bottle of Estrella here (with lime wedge) and I am not afraid to use it.

 

[sideshowbob]

Spirit, Feedback. Yes, Randy California wasn't in the group so it isn't really Spirit, but I still have a soft spot for this LP.

Was: Tussle - Warning EP
Now: Tussle - Tempest

Recommended for fans of Liquid Liquid/ESG/that whole punk funk vibe. Tempest is produced by JD Twitch of Optimo.

If you can get tickets for a decent venue when he comes back later in the year - GO!
One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. So good I've got tickets to see him again in Brighton in October (Brighton's way cheaper than seeing him at the O2 btw - on the assumption you're at this end of the country)

Score! The wife just got us tickets for the David Byrne tour > Nottingham. Looking forward to this.

'Superfly' original soundtrack - Curtis Mayfield - on record/canadian import. Smooooooth.

 

[alan967tiger]

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
2014 vinyl

Excellent.
I've been nagging some friends in Nottingham to sort themselves tickets.

I am alone in the house for a few days (and suddenly realize that it is actually the first time for many years..hmmm...).
I am into my third G&T and listening to Maggot Brain rather louder than I have listened to anything for ages. After Cosmic Slop.
I've only very recently listened to Funkadelic for the first time. Love it. Maybe a decade or two too late to the party...

Firstly it is great.

Secondly, listening to it slightly louder than normal makes it a significantly better experience. The SBLs need to be turned up a bit!
