Laurel Halo - Chance of Rain (2013) A fairly average and forgettable ambient techno album. Nothing much worth commenting on here so moving swiftly on... Prefab Sprout - Crimson/Red (2013) Honestly this album sounds like it could have been a lost album recorded during the band's heyday. Maybe not as good as the likes of Steve McQueen and Jordan: The Comeback but it's a damn good album. It's mainly the product of frontman Paddy McAloon, not bad for a 56 year old geezer. Sounds timeless. Puressence - Puressence (1996) Some nice alternative rock/Britpop with a shimmering, melancholic edge. The high-pitched vocal histrionics remind me of Matt Bellamy at times but they don't put me off too much. There's plenty of great tunes here and Cure-style guitars to keep me happy.

The Velvet Underground - VU (1984) A collection of studio outtakes from 1968-69. Decided to transfer it from my original vinyl release to digital. My second favorite Velvet Underground album (Loaded being the first.) |

Another great album from Stick Figure. It still amazes me that there's only one guy behind all the music (Scott Woodruff) This dude can really jam!

Melt Yourself Down - Melt Yourself Down (2013) Janszoon introduced me to these in plug (via an association with another band) and I am loving it. Funky, Jazz-y and all round super.

The Devil's Anvil - Hard Rock from the Middle East (1967)
"The Devil's Anvil" would have been a great name for a hard rock band, but unfortunately, there's no hard rock here (except in the title of the album.) Just 60's garage rock with a mix of Turkish, Arab and Greek vocals with some traditional instrumentals added. I found the album to be mildly interesting as something of a novelty for the time of its release. Produced by Felix Pappalardi, who played with the band occasionally in New York City. |
