Cavern Of Anti-Matter - Blood Drums

This is  a reissue of Tim Gane's new band's (after Stereolab retired) album from 2013 - originally a limited edition LP. Now available as a triple LP, CD, download. Bleep have the lot.

Sonically it's short form motorik krautrock laced with a tinge of modern electronica, and it's completely the dog's danglies. No video to show from it sadly, but here's a fairly shonky clip of a track live...doesn't do it justice as the album version has great thwack (24 bit download).

Thanks for the 'heads up' on this one. I enjoyed their 2016 release so will be heading to Bleep shortly.

I have quite an amount of his albums and really like his style of playing for Schumann..,...

So happy to see this one being released today. I listened to it today and was moved by it. Pain of Salavation is back at the strenght of their first albums, a great experience for people who can appreciate music with some hard edges. Also the material is quite personal as it's related to the almost dead experience of the frontman of the band who was very seriously sick ....

U2  -  "Songs Of Innocence"  (2014)  and originally at no cost.

1973 - Vinyl - U.K. First pressing...

Agree - cracking album, but my enthusiasm also diminished as it seemed to be used endlessly for TV background music at the time!

Released today I believe; a new album by the excellent John Abercrombie quartet.
