I bought the 3-disc deluxe edition of Dance Craze. Best thing I've had in ages. Fuck art. Let's dance.

Open the door: Sonic Youth ‘Daydream Nation’ - perfect summertime rock & roll is all. As is MC5 ‘High Time’ - like ‘Born In The USA’, this has been too easily taken for granted in the shadow of one of the greatest live albums ever. On its own terms, it’s a belter; Syd Barrett ‘The Madcap Laughs’ and ‘Barrett’ - much as I love both of these records, they fill me with too much sadness when I play them. I can’t help feel that I’m intruding in their creator’s mental breakdown. Am I alone in this? Led Zeppelin ‘Southampton 1973’ - great sounding soundboard boot fully deserving of an official release; David Sylvian ‘Do You Know Me Now?’ - specifically Disc 4 which has some excellent Nine Horses remixes and other bits & bobs. Quite the man’s most accessible music of this century. God, that voice; Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real S/T - if you like country rock but think you’ve heard it all before, check this out. It ain’t new (2016), but it’s fresh as a daisy. Lukas has inherited his dad’s chops; Elton Dean, Steve Miller & Pip Pyle ‘Home Brewed’ - engrossing live session from 1976 that saw the light of day just a few years ago. More jazz than rock, but with ample invention from just three acoustic instruments. How tragic that all of these gifted players were to leave us before their time; Urs Leimgruber ‘Reflexionen Live At Montreux 1987’ - Urs has been swimming in more abstract waters in recent years, so it’s good to be reminded of how lyrical his playing could be in earlier groups like OM and the excellent combo recorded here; The Workers ‘Altburon’ - Urs is one quarter of this Swiss free jazz collective who released this online gem for just £1.49 a year or so back. Pretty much the polar opposite to easy listening, and worth every penny; Stanley Cowell ‘No Illusions’ - Cowell’s studio swan song was up there with his best work. He remains too underrated a jazz pianist; Beethoven: Violin Sonata no.9 ‘Kreutzer’ (Itzhak Perlman & Vladimir Ashkenazy) - I can’t imagine how this could be better performed. Sublime music and playing; Debussy: Images (SFSO/Pierre Monteux) - incredibly vibrant sounding reading from what Van the Man would describe as “the days before rock and roll”; Beethoven: Piano Concerto no.2 (Solomon/Philharmonia/Andre Cluytens) - poetry without histrionics was Solomon’s style, beautifully exemplified in this early Beethoven masterpiece; Mozart: Symphonies 29 (LPO/Sir Thomas Beecham) - Tommy’s Mozart style is long outdated but who cares? The pleasure quotient more than compensates; Bruckner: Symphony no.8 (VPO/Carlo Maria Giulini) - I don’t think a greater symphony was ever written than this, and this is one of very few readings that does its truly epic status justice; Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance Marches (LSO/Sir Arthur Bliss) - much as I admire the likes of Boult and Barbirolli in this music, it’s great to hear it played straight and free of the cloying pomposity (no pun intended) that it’s usually associated with. Bliss played it refreshingly straight; There’s more to life than you can think of. Happy trails Dave x

Such wonderful songs, but they just leave me, well, as you stated, sad.

How ya doin? I'm off on a short break tomorrow, so feeling kinda good! Can - Future Days I generally listen to most of my music through earphones when I'm out and about. Always floors me (literally) how much bass this recording has when played through a proper stereo system. Holger is soooooo low. Picked up a pre remaster edition recently, just for comparison (used to have an original tape years ago and remember it not being terrible). Difference between this and remaster is loudness/business. Original is a chill listen. Remaster is louder (not brickwalled, just made louder) and a busy mix. Lots of incedental noises have been brought forward and, if I'm honest, it's a more tiring listen. Deffo going back to Holgers mix from now on. Julian Cope - Robin Hood/ Floored Genius II (Expanded Edition 2CD) Some great versions on this one. Esp loving The Ballad of King Plank. KP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZS2OUvtTT8 Coil - Musick To Play In The Dark (Vol:2 - Original 2000 c.e.) The Folk Devils - Beautiful Monsters (Singles and Demos 84-86) Esp Loving Evil Eye. https://folkdevils.bandcamp.com/track/beautiful-monster John Lee Hooker - Burning Hell Hawkwind - In Search Of Space Played in anticipation of 'new' remastered/mixed edition coming imminently, kinda excited. It is one of my alltime fav records after all. May not stump for the rather expensive (£55!) 2CD/Blue Ray edition and just pick up the double vinyl (Rough Trade have a nice edition). Theatre of Eternal Music - Dream House 78? 17? Not heard this before, it's kinda nuts. Sounds like Copes Odin filtered through the vocal bits of Boredoms VCNS, though obvs, much before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlCg_2pK1oM Foetus - Thaw/ Nail Thirwell always has an ear for a catchy tune and a great lyric. Prob my fav is Prayer For My Death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj71ktW9HEw Pigface - Gub Solid Industrial rock. Passed me by on it's original release, probably cos' I was off munting in a field with some faeries or something. TV Ghost - Mass Dream Noisey post punky indie Ala early Pop.1280. https://televisionghost.bandcamp.com/album/mass-dream Pop. 1280 - The Horror See above with an added dose of Shellac like geetar. https://pop1280.bandcamp.com/album/the-horror Rosie Tea - Night Creature More Brum Broadcasty infused leftfield pop. Don't forget your limited edition 'eco' vinyl! https://rosietee.bandcamp.com/album/night-creature Various Artists - Ambient Dub Vol.1 (The Big Chill 1992) Chilled comp, perfect for the summer. Many of the artists on here came through Brums not legendary ambient club Oscillate. Great space, fun times! Ketemine Entity by Higher Intelligence Agency still a firm fav. Full CD if it may float ya boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIqnxex8pDQ That's about it, keep well, see next week, same time, same channel!

Dog in fog wrote: Queen - Queen II Queen - Sheer Heart Attack These two albums work so well played back to back, with the "I Do Like To Be The Seaside" fade-out of "Seven Seas Of Rye" the perfect cue for the insanely brilliant "Brighton Rock." It also helps that they are my two favourite Queen albums. I'm planning to take the kids to Brighton this week so what better excuse to crank these classics up by way of preparation?

Led Zeppelin - I and II Love - Four Sail Jeffrey Lewis - The last time I did acid I went insane and other stories - It's the ones that have cracked that the light shines through - 12 crass songs - Bad Wiring. That's all I got from the great man. Great mixture of being highly intelligent and very open and willing to be vulnerable for his art. Even checked out his live gig at Orlando this year on Youtube. Seen him myself a few times too. Teeth of the Sea - Highly Dead Black Tarantula. Love theme for 1984 has stayed with me. Techno Animal - Re-Entry. Wondered into the dance tent at Glastonbury many moons ago and thought they had an amazing sound. Alas not replicated on this album that much The Teardrop Explodes - Culture Bunker 1978-82 - Everyone wants to Shag Tapir! The Pilgrim, their God and The King of my Decrepit Mountain. Quite like the musicality of this. Think bands like Black Midi and Black Country New Road Tangerine Dream - Zeit - Rubycon - Stratosfear - Force Majeure. Wasn't quite so keen on the latter but the rest'll do Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Szun Waves - New Hymn to Freedom Syd Arthur/Amorphous Androgynous -A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble That'll do for now
