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've been enjoying the first two tracks from Dean Wareham's up and coming new album, especially the one that was released this last week - Cashing In: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6nIjEwShGc Also released on the same day (15th Oct) as Dean's Album, there also a new Dean & Britta album - Quar...

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!

I *think* it was on the RSD release a few years ago- they covered "Mantra For A State Of Mind" by S'Express.

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!

stegraham

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.

BJM/telescopes split looks interesting.

Next week? You sure it's not today? Just before midday, I heard.

It's a fair cop, guv!

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...

Just pre-ordered the second new Cheval Sombre album of the year:

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...

stegraham

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...

I don't think you''ll be disappointed Laz, and the good thing is that he's got another album coming later this year. Smashing!

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........

stegraham

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.

stegraham

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.

I know we're all looking forward to the end of this pandemic, lockdown etc, and gigs starting again, but what new records are people excited about/looking forward this year? There were hardly any gigs last year so have bands been locked away home recording new stuff or have they been having some tim...

Love the new Cheval Sombre track, and he saying he's got two albums to release this year - great stuff!!

stegraham

Well, what a year! I'll be glad to see the back of 2020, not only because of Covid and the lockdowns, but I also lost sight in my left eye recently and had to have an operation to fix a detached retina. Hoping to get my sight back over the next few weeks. So, I apologise in advance if there are any ...

stegraham

Sounds good - will check it out! Only listened to All that Noise the other day, great album.

stegraham

Wonder if he'll make these two extra tracks more available? Just shy of 30 quid on Discogs for the Japenese version and that doesn't include P&P. Maybe a EP/single with these on the "b side"?

stegraham

A while ago, well it's probably years ago now, we all listed our top 50/100 albums. It'd be intersting to see these lists split into years - to see if it reflects what we've been discussing in this thread. I'm sure mine would shown quite a few from the early 90s!

Good Post!1979 = good choice! I was only 8 in 1979 so don't really remember it, but looking at that list there are some great records.

I was going to reply to this but when reading through the thread I noticed that I already had - way back in 2008!! Yikes! What's changed in my music tastes since them - over 12 years, I'd like to think they've grown, but I'm not so sure! I'm still listening to all the same old stuff, the same genres...

Got to agree! Love the Beta Band, the Aliens and Steve Mason (wasn't that keen on the stuff he releases under the Black Affair moniker, but King Biscuit time was good). I never did check out the Lone pigeon solo stuff - must do that one day.......

Just had a think, and I reckon I’ve got 8 (new) albums this year that I’ve really enjoyed.

It did cross my mind that because he took so long to record the last album that he must be sick of the songs. However, he did tour other countries, just not the UK (OK, there were a couple of one off specials in the UK, but not a proper tour). I wonder why? Shame. It's 14 months since it was release...

I never saw the Pale Saints live, I didn't hear Comforts of Madness until 94/95, but fell in love with it straight away. I agree that the later stuff, when Ian Masters left, wasn't as good.
