Time to relax with some old fashioned electronica from Sankt Otten with a guest appearance by Can's Jaki Liebezeit. Reminds me of Kraftwerk from time to time.

Good stuff, zikarus. I've got this one sitting in my bandcamp wish list I've enjoyed much of their catalogue of work.

A Bandcamp discovery. An interesting indie band from Toronto.

Jangly guitar driven (and therefore alone) great indie stuff from San Francisco with a heavy 60/70ies and Pavement and Replacements touch. Summer music

I've recently discovered this guy and WOW, what a first album, particularly the live tracks.

Not the best recording but the music is wonderful.

 

Great shout Muttonjef. I like this very much, clearly talented. As you say the naff recording has done them no favours, but their class still shines through.

There is some great stuff on YouTube that's worth checking out.

Then went back to this one, still remember that in my Hong Kong time I listened into it, but then didn’t decide to buy it as it wasn’t good enough for me, that’s why it’s nice to hav Tidal..

 

Where did you stay in HK Bert?. Mid Levels?

Django Django

Their eponymous debut album that still sounds fresh and vibrant in an electronic/indie/synth-pop way, lovely innovative catchy stuff with some really great tunes that get into your head.

Eversince I have been to West Africa many years ago my heart and mind are even more open for African music. This album from the Mali based singer is a very good though mostly less traditional crossover work

I'm really enjoying this album, but can't find a Hi Res download for some reason?

I quite like it but it isn't in the true sense of the word a new Agnes album. It is basically a bunch of tracks that have inspired her over the years along with 4 trax of her own.

AJ Ghent Band - Live At Terminal West

Some upbeat fun. Perfect for a warm, sunny evening.

I have to be in the right mood for Roger Waters and tonights the night!

I've always loved this album having brought it on vinyl when it was released in 1992. The shop in Maidstone sadly no longer exists, but it was a place of refuge every lunch time from an excruciatingly boring job.

If you haven't heard Roky Eriksons solo albums this is great. Its called The Evil One and came out in 1981 think you will really enjoy.Very tight band and Roky's haunting vocal, interlaced with his LSD drenched songs.

Wishing you a fine evening

Cheers Ian
