In the main, tracks from albums released over the last few months (Jun-Aug) 2021. One or two older ones from Joni Mitchell, the Vapors and Al Bowlly. There you go, artists you don't often see in one sentence.

However, what we have is the usual mix of genres and some excellent songs:Tracks:1.     All I Want              3:34   Joni Mitchell   The Studio Albums 1968-1979 2.     Eurydice               4:38   Katherine Priddy  The Eternal Rocks Beneath3.     County Fair           5:09   John Grant           Boy from Michigan        4.     Spectre                 4:28   Emma-Jean Thackray    Yellow                  5.     Bad Kingdom (Lulu's Version)         3:57   Apparat      Stay Still     6.     Sanctuary             4:27   Hiss Golden Messenger Quietly Blowing It         7.     Scratching at the Lid 5:01 Piroshka            Love Drips And Gathers         8.     La Caldera            6:31   Biosphere             Dropsonde 9.     Nervous                4:24   Penelope Trappes Penelope Three10.   Paradise               4:34   Lump                   Animal11.   I'm Losing You      5:24   Chrystal Für                   Elusion12.   Magnets               6:17   Vapors                 Magnets – box13.   Heartaches           3:30   Al Bowlly             The Al Bowlly Collection Hope you hear something you like.Peter

Episode 93 contains tracks from a number of spring album releases in the UK + a couple of older tracks. The so called Delta variant of Covid is spreading here in UK, but deaths and hospital admissions stay low, showing, we hope, the effectiveness of the vaccination programme.

A few tracks from albums released over the last 10 months or so. My monthly episode came to an end so the vast choice of music over this period, coupled with the reduction of digital downloads provide with vinyl these days, means a number of my favorites are omitted, but the cull hopefully means what's left is worth a listen.

In a cold UK the music year starts to warm up. Some excellence delivered already - I'm especially enjoying Deerhunter; James Blake and Beriut but for me, best so far is the remastered Paddy McAloon album 'I trawl the megahertz' re-released as a Prefab Sprout album.

It's about this time of year I also share what I think were the best albums I bought in the year, so here goes with my Top 25 for 2018: 1 Johanna Johannssann Englaborn Re visoned 2 Nils Frahm All melody 3 Kamasi Washington Heaven & Earth 4 Mumford & Sons Delta 5 Jackie Oates The Joy of Living 6 Haley Pleasureland 7 Superorganism same 8 Coyboy Junkies All that reckoning 9 Lump same 10 Sepentwithfeet Soil 11 Erased tapes 1+1=X 12 Leon Vynehall Nothing is still 13 Molecule -22.7 14 Fantastic Negrito Please don't be dead 15 Submotion orchestra Kites 16 Melody Gardot Live in Europe 17 John Hopkins Singularity 18 Loma Same 19 Typoon Offerings 20 Boz Scaggs Out of the blue 21 Elvis Costello & the Attractions Look Now 22 Ed Harcourt Beyond the end 23 Big Red Machine same 24 Rhye Blood 25 Poppie Ackroyd Resolve So, there you have it.

Tracks: a. Intro – Peggy Lee – Siamese cats song from Lady & the Tramp 1. Me, myself, I 3:10 Joan Armatrading - Me, Myself, I 1980 an oldie but Goldie. I love this track and I hope you see the connection I make to Disney’s Siamese cats song. No! Just me then. 2. Stripping Paper 3:48 Elvis Costello - Look Now 2018 in my opinion – the best EC album for ages. A bit like the Weller album released earlier this year. 3. We live forever 3:44 The Prodigy - No Tourists 2018 Prodigy back to what they do best. 4. Carry fire 5:26 Robert Plant & TSSS - Carry Fire 2017 Robert with his super-band – the Sensational Space Shifters. At the O2 recently, they were superb. At the concert, I bumped into a couple of friends – what’s the chances of that happening with an audience close to 20,000? 5. Credit Forever Part 2 1:55 HALEY - Infinite Pleasure 2018 Haley was Haley Bonar and is now Haley McCallum (Bonar dropped in part following a lifetime of correcting some folk’s pronunciation….). Instrumental, mainly piano but some of her guitar playing – excellent for relaxation 6. Mumma Don't Tell 5:08 Leifur James - A Louder Silence 2018 Debut album which see’s him moving from his electronic ambience towards jazz. 7. Slowly we Decay 4:53 Led to Sea - The Beautiful Humming of Ms. Fortune 2015 Led to sea who was the support act for Laura Veirs in Guildford concert last month. Solo on this visit, she looped & mystified us through use of an electronic device which duplicated her playing but octaves lower, so sounding like violin & cello. Fascinating. 8. Algorithm 4:39 Muse - Simulation Theory 2018 didn’t enjoy the last album and this one seems to take songs from the past, adjust them slightly and it sounds like a new- ‘best of’… I’m enjoying it. 9. Les Jeux to You 6:19 Julia Holter - Aviary 2018 Julia as alternative as ever – the first 3 of the first 4 tracks are the most difficult to my mind then she settles down to the sort of stuff I’ve included here. 10. Nonkilling 3 | The Anteroom | False Skull 1 6:42 How To Dress Well - The Anteroom 2018 HTDW = USA s/s Tom Krell. He has engaged with styles like ambient music and experimental electronic music since the beginning of his career. 11. Inside Out 2:49 Aby Vulliamy - Spin Cycle 2018 Aby is a musician and composer, performing and recording frequently as a violist, pianist and vocalist in a range of ensembles and collaborations. Aby is also a Music Therapist 12. Bobbie's Dittie 4:29 Georgia Anne Muldrow - Overload 2018 Georgia is an American s/s; producer, multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles who’s crosses many genres such as experimental, electro, jazz, funk, blues, hip-hop 13. Abusey Junction 7:09 Kokoroko - We out Here 2018 London jazz with an African feel. This type of jazz brings memories of watching Dudo Pukwana in the 70’s/80’s – as mad as a box of frogs, but talented God rhs. Hope you find something you like. See you next month. Peter

Hi all. Lot’s of good stuff on this episode (imo). A little more electronica swing, some jazz, ambient & rap, even a track from an album by a rather excellent banjo player, even though that’s not apparent on the track I’ve selected to play. I’m hoping there is something this month you like I play a track from Max Cooper’s latest and reference the following website: https://www.onehundredbillionsparks.net/ Enjoy.

Hi all, Hope you find something in this episode you like. It’s a varied selection this month with a different sounding Mogwai with music created for film; a superb cover of the Hollies ‘Air that I breath’ from KD Lang’s 1997 album; a mash from Max Richter of one of his violin pieces with a 60’s hit single from Diana Washington, a kind of super group in a new project from the main men in Bon Iver and The National with lots of various genres in between from classical to electronic –swing, blues to ambiance. Enjoy. Peter Tracks 1. Rolling On 4:33 Israel Nash Lifted 2. Magazine 3:39 White Denim Performance 3. The Unknown 4:15 Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp Sauvage Formes 4.

All but two tracks in this episode is a compilation of album tracks previously omitted for selection in earlier, more album release date timely episodes, as a consequence of the record label choice to omit digital download cards with some vinyl purchases. I’ve asterisked as such, see track list below. You may have heard me state that such & such record had been released but without a digital copy and that I couldn’t be bothered to create one from the vinyl. Well – there are so many this year, I eventually capitulated and episode 81 results. The other two are: • A track from 2003, by the Matthew Herbert Big Band recorded when his project was about Iraq – his next Big Band project is about Brexit! Personally, I can’t wait. • A track to mark the demise of guitarist Danny Kirwan. Enjoy. Tracks: 1. Mathew Herbert Big Band – Goodbye swingtime – “Misprints” 2. *Cowboys Junkies – All that reckoning – “When we arrive” 3. *Kamasi Washington – Heaven and Earth –“Sing” 4. *De-Phazz – Black white mono – “Foul and miss” 5. *Portico Quartet - Untitled (AITAOA #2 - “Unrest” 6. *Willie Nelson – Last man standing - It’s not something you get over 7. *Johann Johannsson IBM service manual “the sun’s gone dim and the sky’s turned black” 8. *Moby - Everything was beautiful and nothing – “Motherless child” 9. *Submotion Orch - Kites - “Tunnel” 10. *The Herbaliser - Bring out the sound - "over and over” 11. *Melody Gardot – Live in Europe - “Baby I’m a fool” 12. Fleetwood Mac - single – “Albatross”

Mic & Mixer still not reunited with a computer processor, so episode 71 is another music only episode. Also, no room made for the latest offerings from The Unthanks; Kathryn Williams; Royal Blood; Hidden Orchestra; Luca de Alberto & Penguin Café, all of which have merit, especially to my ears the Hidden Orchestra jazzy ambiance to bird sounds. Only one track in this episode is not a 2017 release from the last few weeks – and that's a rerelease of Bullion's 2007 work based on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album. Of the albums selected to play a track here – my favourite album is the Sufjan Stevens collaboration. All are rather good with an “excellent” grading given by me to the Pumarosa; Anathema & Cigarettes After Sex albums. The episode ends with a track from the album of Dorothy Trogdon poems adapted for song by Diagrams, better known as the lead singer of Tunng, Sam Genders – I think this album deceptively good. BTW - The Unthanks album is of similar make-up in that it gives an airing to Nick Drakes mother, Molly's poems and songs. The episode image is of me in (19)71 - all hair and no substance!

Alessi's Ark: Is singer-song-writer Alessi Laurent-Marke from Hammersmith. I nearly lived in Hammersmith, but in fact lived in Barnes, but very north Barnes – it went, our street, St.Pauls school playing fields, the River Thames, Hammersmith. 2. Lisa Gerrard Frequent listeners will know of my love for the contralto voice and of Lisa. When in Australia recently, I found a DVD about her which is part documentary, part music and which is excellent in my opinion. This track is from her latest album which is for download only at this stage. 3. Burial: is William Bevan from London. I've procured both albums so far and in the electronics field – they are top notch. This track's from his first album 4. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse I rather liked Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) and have all of his albums. He took his own life in March 2010. Danger Mouse has gone from strength to strength winning accolades and awards. 5. Casiotone for the painfully alone: is American, Owen Ashworth. He retired the name & songs in 2010 and now performs under the Monika ‘Advance base'. 6. Death in June: are a neofolk group led by English folky Douglas P(earce). They have been around since the beginning of the 80's and through various members have greatly influenced the more Avant garde /Industrial/rock (Nurse with wound; Throbbing Gristle; Current 93…) but with their various phases of performance art, left a nasty taste with, seemingly, their enthrall with a sanitised Nazism back in the 80's. 7. Leyland Kirby again with his evocation of times past using piano, other keyboards a single voice. He recently turned 40 and produced for download an album which has since disappeared. To everyone who purchased & downloaded that album however, he sent a personalised thank you email. How things have changed. 8. Death of the Neighbourhood is simply another one of Stephen Jones's many guises – know now as exBabybird, he also releases work under the Monika's of Black Reindeer; The Great Sadness; Deluder; Trucker as well as under his own name (and all to be found in my record collection) 9. CocoRosie I came to CoCo through Anthony (Hegarty, of ‘& the Johnsons' fame). Weird but wonderful with a confusing a website (probably down to Touch & go records) however, if you are prepared to wait for the download you will be rewarded with the girls singing. I'd stop there if I were you rather than clicking on! 10. Blank Mass: is Ben Power, one the founding members of F*Buttons, now out there on his own but doing rather well. He supported Icelandic band Sigur Ros UK tour last year (2013) 11. Matt Elliott Another of my favourite artists. Like Ben Power, another Bristolian. The music papers tend to bag him as ‘dark folk'. His early albums had a sound of the Eastern Europe and his latest a more Spanish Flamenco feel. This track is from his more Eastern Europe period and as most of his songs are over 8 minutes – this is one chosen for brevity rather than content. I still like it though. 12. Dirty Pretty Things: For Carl Barat, this is what happened after the Libertines fell apart following his dispute with Peter Doherty. It lasted from that time; 2005 until itself fell apart in 2008. 13. Balam Acab I think this track gives a wonderful atmosphere, sounding a little like Moby, except for the other-worldly vocals. Now overdue for another album I think. 14. Capt. Beefheart The Captain was and still is different. Not for the feint hearted, Beefheart was different with a capitol D. He is part of what is now termed ‘outsider music'. I loved Strictly Personal his second commercial LP in UK (after Safe as milk – also very good, so why did I sell it?) and before the famous Troutmask Replica. Troutmask was too over the top for many and compared with his first two albums – it is. However, Strictly P points the way with such great numbers as Gimme dat harp boy. That track, available on a compilation album, Gutbucket gave me my first glimpse of Beefheart-world and I had to go there, own the album, sing the tunes…. I regret selling his later works (Lick my decals off & Clear Spot). The ‘Mirror man' sessions have been re-released and ‘Electricity' from Safe as Milk always makes me think about watching the first pylons being constructed in the West Midlands to carry the demand for electricity following the baby boom. It was interesting watching the steeplejacks construct these things, but when they had moved down the line one was left with a scar on the land which forever changed Britain. I'm always reminded of this when I visit Tuscany. Hardly a pylon in sight and yet in England, no beautiful scenic part of the island can be seen without these lumps of metal, stretching out across the landscape. I saw the Captain in concert and festival several times, back in the day. He's gone now. 15. Amon Tobin is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer of electronic music. He is described as a virtuoso sound designer and is considered to be one of the most influential electronic music artists in the world. I bought a box set of retro stuff which includes a dvd to his concert for his work Isam – unbelievable at the time and I haven't seen anything like it since. 16. FKA Twigs Formally Known As Twigs because, like Dirty Pretty Things of a few tracks ago – someone else disputed use of the name as they had been using it for longer – so unlike DPT who worked live under the name ‘Bright Young Things' - Twigs opted for the ‘Prince' like, FKA. 17. Jocelyn Pook Ensemble The Unknown Public box sets are rather splendid in providing an introduction to the wonderful world of weird. This track is one of the more straight-forward on this set (Vol 15). 18. Vessel Yet another Bristolian, Seb Gainsborough. I lived in Bristol for a year. Always thought I'd return one day – but doubtful now. Bristol seems to have moved from the home of Trip-hop and Bass to Electronica! Using techno and house as a jumping off point Vessel manages to twist these things into something unconventional and alien, often creating music that sounds as if it's rhythmically out of control when in fact it's all tightly controlled chaos. I love it. 19. Dropping out with Kevin Ayres Enjoy, Peter
