Dub Surgeon
The Lost Future
The tracks in this record are named quite well because they are literally given a number. A number 1 to 13, in fact. I kind of wish more bands would do this because it certainly makes it easier. Anyway, Dub Surgeon has released The Lost Future and it brings us 'an authentic dub experience'. Released on Ark to Ashes and available on vinyl LP.&nbs...view item »

R.E.M.
The Best Of R.E.M. At The BBC
You'll have to be a pretty big R.E.M fan to wade through the various sessions and live performances on the big bumper CD box set that accompanies this release. So how about this truncated version on both LP and CD - a briefer flit through the best bits of the band's performances over the years at 'Auntie' as Wogan used to ...view item »

Seven Disquieting Dirges: Performed By Sub Bass Madmen & Throwback F.X. Contrarians
So as you perhaps know by know, Dope is one of the many projects of arch druid Julian Cope.

Tess Parks & Anton Newcombe
Though only one of them features on the cover, this is the second collaboration between husky chanteuse Tess Parks and never knowingly not soaking wet Brian Jonestown Massacre leader Anton Newcombe.

The Lucid Dream
Actualisation
The Lucid Dream put their bad luck (their gear was all stolen in Paris in 2017) firmly behind them with fourth album Actualisation, a record that could not have come to be without some great fan support. The album works some big acid house vibes into the group’s general big psychedelia, as well as some delightful ...view item »
Tangent
Approaching Complexity
The Netherlands duo of Ralph van Reijendam and Robbert Kok bring us their fourth album together as Tangent.

Blancmange
Wanderlust
It's a new album from the always forward-looking synth-pop duo Blancmange -- Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe.

Concretism
For Concrete and Country
Some good old-fashioned idiosyncrasy from Concretism here. For Concrete And Country synthesises much of the Great British oddball lineage - the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Ghost Box Records, Public Service Broadcasting etc. - with a newly-resurfaced Cold War paranoia. It’s the aural...view item »

Admiral
Cash On The Line
The press release for Cash On The Line, the debut album by Admiral, skirts around the idea in rather waffle-based way that the music contained within is from another world or time.

Omar-S feat. Simon Black
I'll Do It Again

Maelstrom
Fragment
More electro from the Central Processing Unit label. This time it's from Maelstrom, who returns to the label after July 2018's ECZO, with the four-track EP Fragment. The bass is as tough as you might expect, and I think I detect a hint of acid? I'm no expert. Most impres...view item »

With Come Again, what started out as a vehicle for Paul Lamont has now bloomed into a fully-fledged band.

Dear Matthew, thanks for releasing a new album. I don't know what it sounds like yet.
