Primal Scream - Xtrmntr (Exterminator).

An afternoon of Bobby and the boys, so, what to play next?

Why, some more Scream, of course .................. what a cracking album this is, the final album on Alan McGee's legendary Creation

Records, it made quite an impression upon it's release in 2000, and as NME put it "rarely has anger been so beautifully managed"

and elsewhere, "war you can dance to".

Certainly up there with their best.

Part of a set of new albums from The Unthanks. This one, song settings of ten poems by Emily Brontë, was recorded in the Parsonage on the piano that Emily once played. Beautiful.

(1992)

Mary Chapin Carpenter - Come On Come On

Flicking through the library I realised I haven't played this in quite a while, a lovely voice singing country and Americana with just a touch of folk.

Robert Plant - Dreamland.

One of Percy's first excursions with the Strange Sensation, who largely became his current band, the Sensational Space Shifters.

An album of covers, but given new interpretations as is Planty's way, ................ his version of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" has

become the definitive version .............. highly recommended.

Her show on Wednesday night at Café Oto just blew me away, and this album by the trumpet player Jaimie Branch is just superb. Nice recording too. The first album played through my new NAP250 (and NAC72-HiCap)

I am rather a fan of Eighties Indie Northern stuff and a few years ago I was introduced to The Sound. After their break-up the lead singer Adrian Borland put out some solo albums, this was his last before he tragically took his own life in 1999 and it's a fantastic showcase for a still largely unappreciated talent.
