New Records

Some nice stuff on the new Compost Future Sounds of Jazz 12 compilation

I'm really enjoying the Blondes albums at the moment - sort of early Underworld if they were on Kompakt (ish)

Amazing LP http://www.chocolateindustries.com/blog ... nal-space/

kate bush- 50 words for snow. Unbelievably good, got classic written all over it from every angle.

Not for want of trying, but absolutely chaff-all this week. Everyone must have had too much fun at Easter.

The new Idjuts track is doing it for me

and the Terje edit of Joakim

all in all a cheap week in music

Chandra got dr johns new locked down album today, sounding great so far, I havent a had a drink for 3 months but this makes me want to go on a 3 day bender and rob some banks.

Record Store Day tomorrow - just sayin.

Record Store Day tomorrow - just sayin.

It is indeed. I've got my eye on the Little Boots release on Trax.

I'd like to get hold of the Simple Minds I Travel remix 12", and maybe the Tortoise double 7" -but not much on the list I'm fussed by really. There's a few collectory things I'd not mind, but I'm trying to be sensible.

Record Store Day tomorrow - just sayin.

and that's why I have to work tmrw

some nice bits have come through work this week, mind. I particularly like the heart-shaped red vinyl 10" of diana ross & the supremes - baby love

Shimmery but with enough of a motorik feel to lift out of bland in to brilliant. Tin out bliss out.

Not gay at all. No siree.

Not gay enough.

I will be getting full of red wine and playing this loud this weekend. It's a 2am swayer for the kitchen. Stick with it because it's worth it. No one does big and overblown like Spiritualized.

Weatherall played it on his mix on 6 music nice blue vinyl

Idjut Boys new 12'' is great on Smalltown supersound

Picked up the RSD release LP & CD of this yesterday - it is indeed ace. The good Dr's vocals could be a bit higher in the mix, but the drums sound fabulous.
Also picked up the Simple Minds remix 12", and one of the Franz Ferdinand cover 12", to get the LCDSS and ESG reworks.
And all the way from America, direct from Malcolm Cecil, came a Tonto's Expanding Headband CD containing both albums - nice.

The drought appears to be over...

AEROMASCHINE Feldgrau EP White Rabbit Music Germany 12"
MARVIN & GUY Let's Get Lost Vol 14 Let's Get Lost 12"
COCK, Steven/EKKOHAUS/SVEN TASNADI/MICHAEL MELCHNER Warehouse Vol 2 Cargo Edition 12"
M ONO/LUVLESS/MARTIN HAYES Various Two Rose Germany hand-stamped limited 12"
LIONNI, Tony/RADIO SLAVE Berghain 03 Part 1 Ostgut Ton Germany 12"

The Max Cooper remix of Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm is gorgeous, and available for a short while as a free download. Any fans of lush electronica should really get right on this.

I seem to have been buying a lot of rekkids recently (ooh, what a surprise):

Roberta Flack - First Take (got a nice first press of it for a couple of quid)
The Chic Original Album Series 5CD set for nine quid
Steve Hauschildt - Tragedy & Geometry (kinda Gottsching/Tangerine Dream/Emeralds sorta thing)
The Time & Space Machine - Taste the Lazer (more consistent than the debut on first listen)
Johann Johannsson - Miners' Hymns (his soundtrack to the Bill Morrison film - gorgeous brass band, church organ, and electronics)
A Winged Victory For the Sullen (beautiful minimal yet lush piano and strings pieces)
Blondes - Blondes (I'm hearing bits of early Underworld, but if they were on Kompakt)
Blondes - Touched (earlier EP by them)
Psychedelis Jazz and Soul (nice compilation with stuff by Sun Ra, Gary Burton, and Yusef Lateef, amongst others)

...and some other bits on their way to me.

Haven't been buying owt for a while due to finance issues, invoices finally being paid so have treated myself to the following:

Bullion - Love Me Oh Please Love Me (choice cut - "It's All In Sound": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ihCrV4vYdk )

Rocket Juice And The Moon LP - Damon Albarn's new project featuring Flea, Eryka Badu, Tony Allen - Loving this!!

Jimmy Edgar's forthcoming album on Hot Flush is currently available for streaming over at RA:
