  1. Hidden Cities (Expanded)
    by Horse Lords
  2. Continuum
    by HOUSE Of ALL
    Under A Crooked Sky Under A Crooked Sky
    These tracks were recorded around the same time as their self-titled debut, and while that was excellent, I reckon this to be twice as good. Funky, chunky, melodic and lyrically superlative, Mark E. Smith would be very pleased and proud to be honoured so regally, not that he'd ever admit it.
  3. I Wanna Be Your Dog (Stooges Cover)
    by Tightwire
    Of course, the original Stooges version can never be beaten or even equalled, but these Minneapolis punks have torn down several walls with this effort. Fabulous.
  4. LF17 / Edinburgh
    by Elizabeth Joan Kelly
    Princes Street Gardens Princes Street Gardens
    Atmospheres, sounds and timeless recordings of Edinburgh, eerie and totally in it's own zone. A beautiful, wondrous experience.
  5. Frayed Rope Sessions
    by Sleater-Kinney
    Untidy Creature (Frayed Version) Untidy Creature (Frayed Version)
    Different versions of tracks from Little Rope, complete with strings. The Mini Doc is also well worth checking out. Search YouTube if you want to watch it.

    13 tall boys 13 tall boys
    Fantastic DC punk, a relentless assault on the senses. Magnificent.
  7. Devil In The Room
    by Tinsley Ellis
    The opening track from a very impressive blues album. For this set he's cut much of the electric aspect usually visible on his previous 21 albums and I reckon it works nicely. I love this number.
  8. SEALORE
    by Laura Cannell
    The Earth Under the Sea The Earth Under the Sea
    Spacious, eerie and actually quite beautiful, here's another superb release from Laura. Her body of work continues to grow more and more impressive with each new record.
  9. LABYRINTH
    by Chino Amobi
    Jerky and danceable with a pleasant yet somehow ghostly female vocal here and there. It's no Paradiso but highly worthy nonetheless.
  10. Komy [EP]
    by ZULI
    Yabny Kfaya ft. Dakn Yabny Kfaya ft. Dakn
    Pretty freaky, frenetic and creative from ZULI as usual. Beautifully muscular beats abound.
  11. Coin Coin 5-Album Bundle
    by Matana Roberts
    a caged dance [Coin Coin 5] a caged dance [Coin Coin 5]
    Upon the release of each of the Coin Coin series, the wonder and amazement only ever intensifies. This is jazz of an incredible stature, yet placing these monumental works into any genre seems superfluous. Me, well when I saw the 5 album bundle I couldn't resist owning this gargantuan colossus of genius.
  12. IRREVERSIBLE LIVE IN ITALY
    by irreversible entanglements
    LIVE IN ITALY I LIVE IN ITALY I
    What an incredible experience being present at this performance must have been, as the group navigate themselves and their audience to hitherto unattainable heights. Jazz from another dimension? Surely.
  13. It Must Be Love (Remixes)
    by The Rallies
    As Long As (Remix) As Long As (Remix)
    Good music kindly sent to me due to previous support on Bandcamp. My pleasure guys.
  14. etay el baroud
    by ZULI
    I found this on a compilation record from the Cairo label Nashazphone, and as ZULI is one of my favourite artists (in any genre), I bought it. The usual frenetic techno is here for all to hear, though with an impressively patient and atmospheric build-up and general overall feel. Magnificent.
  15. Many Headed
    by A7PHA
    Dandelion Radio recommended this via their DJ Brownbutter. Best described as electro hip hoppy it's a very good track.
  16. TWENTIETH CENTURY
    by Swansea Sound
    TWENTIETH CENTURY TWENTIETH CENTURY
    Completely and utterly irresistable, full of catchy melodies and witty lyrics. And I'm certain totally imbued with a huge Welsh sensibilty. Just fabulous. Thanks Zaph.
  17. Sister Time
    by Amy Cutler
    sleeper train to nowhere sleeper train to nowhere
    Superb stuff full of dream like atmospheres, beautifully recorded and mixed together. Be patient with it as the record will eventually envelop your brain.
  18. We'll Be Piranhas
    by Eamon The Destroyer
    The Choirmaster The Choirmaster
    This is a record very kindly sent to me from Dave at Bearsuit Records, and Dave, I reckon it's great. The main thing for me is how, from a relatively stable musical base, it travels off in all sorts of directions, including completely weird (a good thing) before returning from whence it came. Excellent.
  19. Meat Joy
    by MEAT JOY
    Final Curtain Final Curtain
    Everything's here to be sure. A reissue of a very rare record from 1984, hardcore, acoustic, general house sounds, discordant noise, non-sensical verbiage, children singing in the bath between tracks, there might even be a kitchen sink somewhere if you look and listen hard enough. They've come back with some reunion gigs in their home town of Austin, Texas this year, so I'm pleased to have become aware of them through The Wire Magazine Issue 476.
  20. DREAMING - FARMA (BONUS TRACK)
    by FARMA
    Here is Farma's lead vocal track from the new Farma Beats album "Farma's 10 Pound Bag Vol.2" which is pretty much a showcase for his exceptional production abilities and the respect in which he is held by others.
