pinterest monday 21 december 2020 monday s long song last week i was listening to into the mystic and thought to myself what a pity he s such a prick the majority of his music is so wonderful i always knew he had been a moody fucker but when i read laura barton s account of trying to interview him i lost all respect for the man you can read it here and this was before his utterances on the covid19 situation and joining the ranks of the fox fool hartley brewer et all but by god can he make some sweet music this is an outtake from a recording session back in 1972 at pacific high studios in san

my year ok so here we are it s time for the most self indulgent post of the year the tracks that i believe are the best of the year you may think differently but of course you are all wrong it would have been easy to have filled this list with at least a dozen tracks that would be peppered with the guv nor s magic to coin a phrase as this is probably the last year that andrew weatherall s music will feature here which is too heart breaking to contemplate not eagerly awaiting the next change in direction and ordering on spec cause it s weatherall isn t it not sure if this is any kind of honour but he is the only artist that has featured in all 11 of these yearly posts when i completed the list i was quite surprised that there was nothing by kungens man or the 4 albums that i had purchased from those released on the el paraiso label but when i thought a bit more there were no single tracks that jumped out at me all were fine albums and worked as that an album i would put them on and just listen to them another thing that struck me is that for the first time horror of horrors downloads have been included and not just a few but 8 in total i just hope that this is not the shape of things to come but i suspect it will be even a quick scan and you will realise that there are quite a lot of mixes edits yes in this year of all years when it has been impossible to go anywhere to dance i have been buying and listening to loads of dance music that along with a lot of ambient and psych is what has kept me relatively sane over the past 12 months i hope you find something here that piques your interest here 1 whyte horses mr natural 2 sault wildfires 3 daniel avery lone swordsman 4 little barrie malcolm catto after after 5 the orb the weekend it rained for

socially distant manner it s the final friday prior to christmas and normally i would be going on about the amateur drinkers and the sheer hell it is working in pubs and clubs on this night but things are a wee bit different this year i am sure that all hospitality staff would rather be dealing with the worst of the christmas office night out twat than sitting in the house doing nothing i really feel for people working in hospitality but have less sympathy for club owners and top chefs moaning about public policy when they have been fleecing punters for years for miniscule portions and wine with a mark up of at least 300 the money being made certainly wasn t going to the kps commis chefs waiting or bar staff anyway i digress this post is usually soundtracked with a big house tune i m not sure that throw by tee mango was a big tune as by the time it was released 2015 my clubbing days were mostly behind me but the tune that it liberally samples was huge drew what is going on with the diamonds you may ask and my answer is i have no idea the only word that comes to mind is inconsistent they have lost more than they have won and are in the bottom half off the table after two games that they really should have won or in last week s case at least turned up this week they are away to league leaders falkirk and i fully expect a scudding have a good weekend people and stay safe tee

got it five times on the bounce last night not sure what it is but the whole feel of it just lifts the spirit it may be that organ you don t hear enough of that instrument these days you could imagine otis redding or sam cooke belting this out in fact it may have been ever so slightly influenced by that s how strong my love is which has featured here previously posted by drew at 06 30 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 16 december 2020 albums of the year one good thing that has come out of 2020 is the quality of the music that has been released well the music that i have bought anyway it has been a bumper year in the number of releases too making it hard to keep up and i have had to make more hard choices on what to buy and what to try and forget about it has also been a year when i have chosen to buy the cd copy of some new releases over the vinyl mostly forced on me by major labels ripping the absolute pish in relation to price thirty quid for a letter to you by bruce springsteen or taylor swift s latest anyone and don t get me started about the lack of download codes in an ever increasing number of vinyl releases some record labels are offering a different approach producing beautifully packaged well produced records complete with download codes and download links from the bandcamp pages at a reasonable price colin morrison s castles in space is the leader in this field and is now offering a brilliant subscription service on the topic of labels a couple of new ones that have come to my attention over the past 12 months are werra foxma and cue dot records both of which offer some excellent fresh electronic sounds and are well worth checking out it has been difficult get my list down to ten albums but here they are 10 autotelia i the album consists of 5 fairly lengthy pieces of psychedelic kosmiche that envegle themselves into your consciousness and foster a strange feeling of calm at a time of high stress well worth a listen 9 och ii i know very little about och other than they are a trio from sweden and this is their second release the first being an ep which came out back in 2014 more synth based modern prog rock no honestly give it a listen this album was bought on a whim and i am glad that i did there was a time between april and july august when apart from one album which will feature later i had very little time for anything with any vocals at all and this fitted right in with that mood och akssa 8 the long champs straight to audio another one bought on the strength of hearing one track debut album by the welsh idiot not my description but what s on the twitter bio for the long champs i really don t know how to describe this other than none of the eight tracks would have been out of place on weatherall s music s not for everyone and quite a few of them could be included in an a love from outer space set and no one would bat an eye yes it is that good only downside is that it only came out on cd or download 7 sault untitled black is it s september and out of the blue unheralded as with the previous two albums by the mysterious sault black is is released an album that has obviously been produced in the wake of the hellish racist murder of george floyd the justified blm protests and the totally disgusting actions of police forces all over the us an album of protest brooding sorrowful in parts defiant in others but absolutely gorgeous and the album that every right minded person needed at that time 6 greg foat symphonie pacifique you know what i was saying about lyric less music being the thing that was floating my boat around the middle of the year well i found this wonderful album courtesy of the giles peterson show on 6music until that point i was not aware of the jazz pianist greg foat although i m not sure that this album can be called jazz or pigeonholed at all it is just a collection of beautiful pieces of music that hang together remarkably well as an album 5 richard norris elements richard norris music should be given out by prescription on the n h s i am not kidding you his recordings over the past year this album and the 12 long music for healing pieces that he had produced have done more for my mental health than anything else and i know that i am not the only one i am so looking forward to the stuff that will be released through the subscription service i do regret not going for the picture disc of this album as it is a thing of beauty but i have always been a bit wary of pic discs 4 glok dissident remixed strangely in the same position as last year s original dissident album by andy bell s side project here we see the tracks on the album getting some pretty brilliant remixes for the likes of richard sen maps and sadly one of the final if not the final remix by andrew weatherall which i found heartbreaking to listen to for quite some time if the truth be known 3 little barrie malcom catto quatermass seven i m not sure that i have any better way of describing this album that the bandcamp blurb that got me interested in the first place what you hear within it s seven tacks is the british blues explosion colliding with a mid 70s bronx block party haight ashbury acid rock mashed up with manchester s summer of love circa 88 or a prime slice of uk freakbeat broadcast from new york s jazz underground emerging kicking from and screaming above london city tower blocks this album has hardly been off the turntable since it came out it is incredibly good and the sort of thing that we need much much more of 2 sault untitled rise so the week before the vinyl of the sault album black is is supposed to arrive i check the bandcamp page to make sure that i have the dates right and i see another title listed surely not but it is another bloody album so without any debate it is pre ordered and because i am still loving the black is download i decide that i will wait to listen until the vinyl arrives near to the end of november before giving it a listen surely it can t be as good as the previous one correct it isn t it s better this has a much more hopeful vibe and is a lot more dance orientated the lyrics are as angry as the previous album but there is also optimism there and the production as previously is immaculate 1 whyte horses hard times hard times was one of the first albums that dropped through the letterbox in early january 2020 it had been on order since september 2019 when we were yet to realise just how much of a fuck up the year was going to be from the first listen i loved it the choice of covers were interesting tracks by the bee gees lou reed and baby huey amongst them and a couple that i didn t know at all the choice of guest vocalists was even more interesting john grant tracyanne campbell badly drawn boy and in the case of elly jackson la roux a complete revelation on many occasions this year when i have been feeling a bit low i have reached for this album usually to play a particular song and have decided to just play the whole thing and more than once have played it through twice great uplifting stuff posted by drew at 06 30 6 comments email this
