	16 HORSEPOWER    Hoarse

	98 live LP by Colorado based part French 'Gothabilly' kings
mixing 

	acoustic instrumentation with intense narrative rock. Includes
covers of The Gun Club and Joy Division. Wish it was easier to get hold
of Glitterhouse stuff in Ireland. I could do with everything else by
them

	 

	LYDIA LUNCH       Queen Of Siam

	Torch song LP by ex teenage Jesus poet of the lower east side.
Includes  Robert Quine, Billy Van Planck , the trumpeter from the
Flintstones cartoons  and a very groovy version of Spooky as well as her
cover of Gloomy Sunday (the song equivalent of Macbeth) and a cover of
one of Teenage Jesus's songs.

	 

	HIGH ON FIRE           Surrounded By Thieves

	Relentlessly crushing metal stuff from Ex Sleep guitarist Matt
Pike's trio.

	Really violent sounding. Yum

	 

	FOREVER BAD BLUES BAND   Just Stomping

	Lamonte Young and crew playing blues as ambient metal. One long
track goes across 2 hour-long discs. Very soothing.

	 

	FRED NEIL                      Tear Down The Walls/Bleecker And
Mcdougall

	Original baritone voiced folkie on his first 2 LPs. I normally
start playing from track 13 the last track on Tear Down the walls cos
I'm not a big fan of that LP. Bleecker and Macdougall is dang good
drummerless folk-rock stuff. Love his version of the Water is Wide.

	 

	 TRANQUILITY BASS         Let The Freak Flag Fly

	 Chicago based  Frisco type trip hop.  Psychedelic.

	 

	DILLARD & CLARK The Fantastic Expedition /Through The Morning
Through The Night

	Clark is of course one of the greatest lyricists ever. Here on
his late 60s folk-rock meets bluegrass LPs with Doug Dillard on banjo. I
think between this and seeing 16 Horsepower live the banjo is becoming
one of my favourite instruments. 

	Is there anybody else who specialises in banjo worth checking
out? 

	 

	FIREBIRD                      Deluxe

	Bill Steer's retro power trio. Possibly a little strange to hear
the ex Carcass/Napalm Death guy play something that sounds like it came
out of 68-72.

	Still nice LP, dunno if I'm convinced by the sub Stevie Winwood
vocals though.

	The guitar wrangling sure is something though

	 

	SAVAGE REPUBLIC       Jamahiriya

	Eastern folk tinged late 80s psychedelia. One of my favourite
LSD LPs thanks to its use of texture. They're reforming for dates in
November

	TIM BUCKLEY            Live At The Troubadour 1969

	69 live jazz folk LP. Long improvised versions of tracks from
Lorca and Blue Afternoon. Nice 

	 

	MOTHERHEAD BUG       Zambodia

	Jazz folk LP by David Ouimet ex C$C/Foetus keyboards guy

	Shame this was their only LP. Very dark Edgar Allen Poe type
influence throughout

	Plus a post Swans sighting of Norman Westberg on My Sweet
Milstar a love song from a missile silo to its missile.

	 

	DR ALIMANTADO          Best Dressed Chicken In Town

	Truly headwrecking dub plus toasting LP.

	 

	NURSE WITH WOUND     A Missing Sense

	Steve Stapleton's Acid LP. 3 long atmospheric mainly
instrumental tracks including

	Swansong SS's rumination on the bikini atoll bomb tests.

	Gotta work out what else I need by these guys, and send him that
Sonic youth stuff

	 

	HERBIE MANN              Memphis Underground

	Herbie on Flute, Roy Ayers on vibes Sonny Sharrock and Larry
Coryell on guitars

	Plus a Memphis rhythm section cover several soul tracks plus the
Battle Hymn of the Republic. Some great grooves

	This has recently been remastered and released

	 

	CABARET VOLTAIRE       The Living Legends

	Rough Trade era singles. Spooky electronic funk.

	Great cover of the Velvets 'Here She Comes Now '

	Had to get this through from the US, when're Mute UK going to
catch up?

	Or are they? I heard they just got swallowed by EMI

	Are the other Cabs LPs from this period still in print?

	 

	BILL FRISSELL with DAVE HOLLAND and ELVIN JONES

	Mix between relaxed Electric and acoustic jazz stuff from near
supergroup. I had hoped for Power Tools 2 or something but this is still
pretty nice. Mellow

	 

	PURPLE TRAP            Decided.Already The Motionless Heart Of
Tranquillity, Tangling The Prayer Called "I"

	Ambient Metal? As with the above it's not exactly what I hoped
it would be.

	Kaiji Haino, Bill Laswell and Rashied Ali, Coltrane's other
drummer.

	This has its moments, but I'm left wondering exactly what a
second meeting after playing out more would be like.

	 

	BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS    Trenchtown Rock

	Only Bob I've got. 3/4s of this is Lee Perry Produced. ½ of it
has Tosh and Bunny.

	Dashed great Trojan compi

	 

	NEU!   75

	3rd LP by the Motorik crew.  Here with the original Motorik
drummer Klaus Dinger on guitar on the 2nd side alongside his brother.
Something weird going down? Or a forerunner of La Dusseldorf?

	            

	SAVAGE REPUBLIC Customs

	Last lp by the LA dronerockers, here recorded on an unexpected
stopver in Thessalonica thanks to Greek customs hence the title. Mostly
played on borrowed instruments thanks to the Customs having confiscated
their own.

	 Veers between noisy jams, atmospheric folk stuff and post rock
prototypes

	 

	 

	SAVAGE REPUBLIC Ceremonial

	The instrumental version of the 2nd LP. First one with new line
up. Contains the Trudge ep, which was the blueprint for Bruce Licher's
later Scenic.

	 

	SAVAGE REPUBLIC  Tragic Figures

	First LP, their most punkish. Experimental surf rock versions of
eastern influenced art noise.

	 

	JOHN COLTRANE Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings Disc1

	61 was a great year for Trane. In Fact so were most of the
quartet 
	years.
	wish the later band had more than a couple of cuts available

	 

	FANTOMAS Director's Cut

	Mental metal covers of 60s and 70s film soundtracks by Mike
Patton, Buzz Osbourne and pals.

	 

	NEW KINGDOM  Paradise Don't Come Cheap

	2nd LP by NYC tripped out hip-hop crew. Sebastian looks like me.
Is this my fav LP?

	 

	GRATEFUL DEAD Dicks Picks volume 1

	First cd from Latvala's archive this is from Florida in December
73.

	 Don't have Micky Hart on it but it still sounds dashed good.

	Mainly material from Wake of the flood 

	 

	JOHN CALE The Island years 

	2cds of the 3lps, Fear, Guts and Helen of Troy plus. 

	My favourite ex Velvet playing intense narrative ambient rock.  

	With most of Roxy Music on Fear and Chris Spedding future
Pistols producer on the other 2 lps, plus one of Phil Collins few
positive contributions to rock on Helen of Troy
