B&S arrived yesterday and I've listened 3-4 times now. Really enjoying it - real good vibe to it. I haven't seen Steve live yet and I need to recify that! I'm a bit of an old school raver and the melody in the chorus of the title track "Brothers and Sisters" sounded really familiar. It...

Chatham Rise, on their FB page, said they were just in the process of mixing their new album. Can't wait for that! The last one - Meadow sweet - was ace!

stegraham

Oh yes, forgot about the Light in the Attic re-release of Nancy & Lee Again, due out in March.

I know it's already Feb (where did January go?) , but just thought I'd see what people are looking forward to this year - 2023? What bands/acts have new records out etc.These are on my list so far. Some of them bought or pre-ordered already: Already Out Belle & Sebastian - Late Developers Andy B...

This is great news. It didn't feel right not to have any release featuring Ripley last year. Also a tour - hopefully I'll be able to catch them in London (The Scala) this time, after missing out last year.

Don't know anything about this band - Jadu Heart - but I like this track.

I had forgotten about the Fuxa album. What a lovely looking piece of vinyl that is! I haven't had my turntable available much this year, so only managed to listen to the record a couple of times. Two singles/EPs I had forgotten about whilst looking through the very few bits of vinyl I bought this ye...

Anyone else read Miki's autobiography? It came out at the end of last year and I got it for Xmas. It's well written and an interesting read. First part of the book deals with her childhood - pretty difficult in places - and the second half deals with Lush. It doesn't paint a very favourable picture ...

2022 has been and gone! Wow, that went fast! Top 10 albums anyone? Plenty of decent releases to choose from. I have a top 11 simply because I couldn't make my mind up. Here they are - in no particular order ... Pale Blue Eyes: Souvenirs - a relatively recent purchase, but I totally love this record....

stegraham

No, not a programme that is on in the mornings in the UK, but I'm liking this track by TVAM. Don't know the band, but will check the album out when it's released in October:

Fuxa covers Sonic's 'Help Me Please' https://fuxaband.bandcamp.com/track/help-me-please A lot of interesting names involved in the new album. Scroll down the bandcamp page for all the blurb. Great to see Fuxa back, it's been a while! Shame there's no physical release.... Ha ha! I see there is a ltd...

Really enjoying the new Black Sand album, "Above the clouds" - nice and droney and very hypnotic.

Also enjoying the new album, had it on quite a few times over the last few days. I read somewhere that it's the first record in a while where the band play on it. If that's the case then I think you can tell - especially the drums. They sound great on this, whereas they've usually been pretty basic ...

stegraham

Another album to add to the list - House of Love have announced their new album is called A State of Grace , and they'll be doing a UK tour in September. Jolly good!

stegraham

Well these are the ones that I've already got (first 3) or pre-ordered/know about. Eels - Extreme Witchcraft Earthless - Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Andy Bell - Flicker Loop - Sonancy Lightening in a Twilight Hour - Overwintering Asteroid #4 - Tones of the Sparrow Spiritualized - Everything w...

New band for me - Lazy Eyes from Australia. We heard the track "Fuzz Jam" on 6 Muisc, and checked them out on youtube. I think this song is great - Where's my brain?? They have their debut album out in April - 40 Australian dollars plus P&P, looks like I'll be downloading the album! ht...

I just got the bog standard CD from the bandcamp page. I didn't expect it to be signed TBH!

@stegraham I may have spares of one or both of the vinyl versions of 'Sound of Young America' and 'Death of a Lover's Song'. I released both records on my label, Drone Rock Records after discovering they were only ever issued on CD. I think this forum brought them to my attention many, many years a...

I think I heard about the Voices many moons ago on this message board. I bought their first two albums, and managed to get a download of their 3rd. They then seemed to disappear. Whilst looking through my CDs for something to play yesterday I found "The Sound of Young America" - stuck it o...

I got the new Andy Bell album yesterday (signed and everything - thanks Sonic Cathedral!) , and listened to it twice. I like it! It's long 'un - 18 tracks and clocking in at just over 77 mins long. Got a nice laid back vibe. I'm liking both of his solo efforts better than the last Ride record. There...

Been enjoying the new Tess Parks song this PM, Happy Birthday Forever. New album out in April I think. Looking forward to it!!

That's a shame - at least they'll be giving us one last record and a farewell tour!

stegraham

This is a great version of "Don't you know" - show's off Rishi's sitar playing. I always think of this track as the sitar version of i am the resurrection:

stegraham

New Elephant Stone single is pretty tasty, can't wait for the album to be released. Their last long player, Hollow, was a corker!

stegraham

I really enjoyed the first album, and the "remix" version too, so I've pre-ordered this second one straight away. Looking forward to it. Some tidy releases already announced for 2022.

Was the GSYBE really this year? Blimey, for some reason I thought it was 2020! Lockdown playing games with time!

stegraham

Well, I've ordered the CD! Good stuff!

stegraham

I like it. It sounds like the singer from Sister Vanilla - it's not is it?

stegraham

It's getting to the end of the year and would be interested to see what everyone has been listening to - what floats yer boat, fav records, tracks etc. I don't have a top ten this time and I have Mr Sombre twice so maybe it's just a top 8: Time Wait For No One - Cheval Sombre Days Go By - Cheval Som...

Thanks for the heads up Sunray. I like that track and pre-ordered the deluxe CD.

New album, First Welcome, out in December, and I'm liking the track "Milk Symposium" which is the first track they've made available from it so far. Havent been that keen on some of the later releases but I'm into this vibe. Was goign to buy the CD version, but at 8 quid for the CD and the...

I heard this track on the radio recently and liked the vibe. Don't know anything about the artist, but the other tracks on youtube aren't as good as this one:

Anyone know about presale code for the UK shows?

Been enjoying the new Cheval Sombre track that dropped yesterday. Apparently it's a Grateful Dead cover . I must admit my ignorance of the Dead, but I do like this 8 min laid back droney vibe. A Dire Straits (!!!) cover on the the b-side when it gets released in November! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I like Babe Rainbow - it might be my fav HoL album. I agree about Audience of the Mind - there's somrthing about it - production, songs? Not sure but it doesn't do anything for me.

After someone posting a link to the "Deeper than Holy" Pastel track, I managed to buy the 4 track EP when it came out last week. Lovely orange splatter 12" vinyl - all 4 tracks are great. Been listening it this alot the last few days. Good stuff!! Where did you get it, if you don’t m...

I thought that busker in town looked familiar! I'll throw in a couple of quid next time, rather than the usual 50p!

stegraham

Great news re: new album. I hope he does tour the new record unlike ANH where he only played one English gig - in London. Is that right, or is my memory playing tricks?

stegraham

Might be a guilty pleasure (I don't know anything about the band), but I heard this on the radio recently and really like it. Truth by a group called Jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcP8zQPQOEM I'm also enjoying the new Juleah album - Stoked on Planet Summer. Maybe her best record so far? Oh...

I saw the Bykers twice back in the day. Once on the Drill your own hole tour in Blackburn (87, I think?), and then in Leeds on the Cancer Planet Mission tour (90/91 - can't remember exactly!). Enjoyed them both times, even though I had a heavy cold at Leeds gig. I still think Cancer Planet Mission i...

I must admit I haven't bought any Aliens releases since the live album. I haven't been that keen on the newer stuff. Does the RSD release sound more like the first two albums? Guess I should give them another go!

Someone posted a live video of Terry Bickers and Pete Fij, recently on Facebook, playing So Hot (wash away all of my tears). I'm a big House of Love fan, but never bothered - not sure why - with the records by this duo. I've recified this and just bought their two albums, so been listening to these ...

Didn't think it was out until the end of June!! Is it in the shops now? Need to get this ASAP!

At the complete opposite end of the scale, i'm loving Cheval Sombre's new release, Days Go By. Guy can't do no wrong in my opinion. Just some beautiful, beautiful music to close your eyes to and forget about the rest of the fuckin world, even just for a little while! :D I second this - both the Che...

Magic Castles - Sun Reign : wonderful record.

The Slide Song is something special isn't it? Definately in my Spirtiualized top 5 tracks. One thing I never really understood is, when Jason liked to have altenative versions of single tracks on the albums, why he put "Don't Go/Stay with me" and "The Individual" on LAGWAFIS? Two...

The Coral - Coral Island: heard some tracks on the RadMac show, and enjoyed them. It's the first album I've bought by The Coral since Magic and Medicine. Might have to check more out. Eels - Earth to Dora: just got round to getting a copy of this. Thought his last few albums have been lacklustre, b...

Must admit I like to hear a live Spiritualized take on Elvis's Edge of Reality. I think it'd work rather well.

I must admit I'm not the worlds biggest MBV fan, but would have jumped at the chance of getting a re-issued (cheap) version of the Ecstasy and Wine compilation. Is it because the two EPs that make it weren't on Creation that they are not offered now? Or have they - similiar to Bobby G with early Pri...

I've been listening to the new Still Corners album - The last Exit. They are not my fav band, but it's ideal music for when i'm coding. Nice and mellow in the background - maybe it's contributed to a few breakthroughs. Because Briita Philips provides vocals for one of the tracks, I've just bought th...

I got into Led Zep through the Cult and their Love album. When it was released they name dropped Led Zep and other - what's nowadays called "classic rock" bands. I was only 14 at the time (1985), and didn't have much money so a friends dad taped me Led Zep 2, 3, 4 and also the first Montro...

I was hoping that, if they ever re-released the early albums, they'd take the opportunity to do some kind of "deluxe" edition. The regular album, singles/b-sides from that era, a live recording indicative of that period, radio sessions etc. Something like that. I thought the JAMC re-issues...

The new Cheval Sombre album arrived in the post today. A most welcome surprise because I wasn't expecting it until the offical release date on Friday. I'm half way through track 4 and it's bloody brilliant. Hard concentrating on your work when you keep drifting off and looking out of the window........

I was always a bit puzzled aboput the "limited edition" Chain with No Name cover. I always associate a limited edition with getting something better/extra - didn't like that gold one at all. The original is much better.

Wow! That is great news - love the first two records. One a year at the moment - he's a grand chap that Ripley!

I like the cover!

Just not getting on with the new Aliens stuff. Looking forward to the new "proper" band based album though.
