Issue 65

Focused. Determined. Powerful.

My brain was still with a guy who refused to grow up and I was confronted with a bunch of young men who’d grown up too quickly.

it’s a beguiling listen and one to stick on if you’re feeling abstract.

Sean Lennon’s release has enough brio and charm to be fully enjoyable as a listen outside of the purpose for which it was created

They still somehow remind me of the Soft Machine

I can’t really reconcile anything Leafcutter John does as alt-jazz

Top LPs. Bit off the wall, mind. You do wonder what else goes on in that hut of hers…

Sadly the whole thing’s over in about 15 minutes… but check them out nonetheless.

It’s a mixed bag, as you might expect with a sprawling LP of around 25 tracks.

Dutronc knocked out some classic records in the sixties

I could keep rabbiting on about how good this LP is, but I’m going to simply recommend that you listen to it without delay.

There isn’t any particular style to the recordings on Balkan Grooves; rather anything that can get people dancing seems to be the principle.

It seems that Discorporate specialise in bands that like to make a noise

the lyrics are a reflection on the current generation’s obsessions

the main issue with The Brothers Movement is that what they do on this record has been done so many times before

All different, sometimes challenging listens, but all eminently worth it

let’s look back with thanks; the place has been a source of genuine musical fun for us

Get up and dance, motherfuckers!
