The giant avalanche that is THE LONDON DIRTHOLE COMPANY is back with another slab of prime-time partisan punk noise. With a Futurist disdain and Dadaist sense of sardonic humour, the MODERN IST EP celebrates the realities of the Family Of Noise as a truly interactive social experiment. The genuinely odd bunch of protagonists that make up the bands personnel stretch the boundaries of conventional group structure and methods. A truly outsider approach that reverberates with its nebulous intensity and spirit of joy. The result is a fractious cacophony created (on this record) by four drummers, 3 guitarists a bass player and 2 different vocalists. Live the band rotate up to a dozen singers if occasion and availability conspire. The music has elements and attitudes in common with The Monks, Velvet Underground, Pussy Galore and The Fall without any direct plagiarism or imitation. These bands are but ships in the night to the Battleship Dirthole and its crew of desperate fellows. PROFESSOR THE CONFESSOR is an intimate memoir of utterances from the dark recesses of The Professor’s mind. CRYING ONIONS is a sleazy ballad of all-consuming pleasure, timeless romance, sensual purgatory, erotic possession, empty tears, disrobing and eating an onion. TOMORROW, TODAY faces up to the bleak realities of a passion consumed and the vagaries of the staring up from the gutter as you watch your former partner dance the same dance you fell for with someone else. The strapping fit and healthy London Dirthole Company pedigree on this recording; The Nuns, Pulkas, Echobelly, Headbutt, Felix Moment Power Trio, Lot Lizards, Project Dark, Headcleaner.

The Free Fall Band are five very young timeless pop creators bursting with melody and sublime choruses, hailing from Mataró, a village north Barcelona.

‘Elephants Never Forget’ was the band’s debut album, produced by Miqui Puig and released on LAV Records. The record sums up The Free Fall Band perfectly: echoes of The Beatles, Jonathan Richman, The Shins, The Zombies… fun and emotion in equal measure, carefully assembled arrangements and a youthful image.

2013 put them at the forefront of Spanish pop, thanks to landmark moments such as their performance at the Primavera Sound Festival and supporting Rodriguez in Barcelona. They also released their first step on El Segell del Primavera, an EP with covers of The Strokes, Violent Femmes, New Order, Booker T. & The MGs and Jonathan Richman.

And now their second album arrives. It’s called ‘The Münster Sights’ and shows the band in another level: the songs reflect a band that have been playing and growing as musicians. The album was produced by Darren Hayman (he used to play in Hefner and has a long and amazing solo career) and engineered by Giles Barrett (from London popsters Tigercats), a perfect choice for The Free Fall Band as they’ve long been fans of both musicians. As a result ‘The Münster Sights’ sounds richer and fatter than their previous efforts and contains such great numbers as ‘Fontana’ and ‘I Want To Know’.

The first of 2 EPs 2 proceed the next Future Sound Of London album in 2025.

Side A is a deeply moody dark ambient journey through mists of choirs to a place of ritualist electronic beat swamp finally being spat on a leaf suburb road somewhere in Surrey - what just happened !

Side B unlike the previous side this begins far more reflective, as the journey progress it becomes more unsettling once more - a baroque minimalist piece followed by modular synths melding with breaks and drum machine - ambient field recordings , a mesh of carefully gathered and selected samples - FSOL perfection.

A bold, immersive reimagining of Shaker musical tradition, Academy Award-winning composer Daniel Blumberg’s score for Mona Fastvold’s 'The Testament of Ann Lee' presents radical reinterpretations of traditional hymns with original compositions shaped directly on set. Developed in deep collaboration with Fastvold, the music grew alongside the film’s choreography and performances, drawing on the physicality and ecstatic vocal practices of Shaker worship.

Blumberg assembled nearly 100 singers, including extreme vocal improvisers Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, Shelley Hirsch, Freya Edmondes alongside a cast of untrained voices – to create a wordless cacophony of vocal textures that mirrors the Shakers’ ecstatic spiritual practices. This vocal landscape intertwines with tuned percussion, spectral bell tones, celeste, and an ensemble of experimental string players, forming a sonic world that is both elemental and deeply spiritual. The soundtrack includes ten reimagined Shaker hymns performed by the cast, plus three original songs, including end‑credits song ‘Clothed by the Sun’ performed as a duet by Blumberg and Amanda Seyfried.

It’s just over 30 years ago that former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and ex-Thieves frontman David McAlmont unleashed the extraordinary single ‘Yes’ at the beginning of a summer awash with Britpop and Ibiza rave. With its instant-classic sound, augmented by soaring ’60s strings, it sounded epic and most definitely unlike anything else at the time. Rightly, today it’s considered a stone-cold classic.

When it followed in the December of the same year, the album ‘The Sound Of…’ was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. The album was also singled out by critics as one of the year’s very best. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while ’The Times’’s critic commented: “the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.”

That one summer that felt like everything… until it wasn’t. The rain-soaked phone booth, the pool, the fireworks, the moments where it almost felt real. kensuke ushio’s summer’s end score lives right in that space between tenderness and collapse, where quiet love turns into chaos in an instant.

This soundtrack captures every emotional shift of the Reze Arc. From intimate cues like 'in the pool' and 'in the sea' to the overwhelming intensity of 'edge of chainsaw (typhoon ver.)', this is the full experience of the film, pressed onto vinyl.

Back in print to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cantrell's third album! Newly remastered and now with a previously unreleased bonus track. 'Humming By The Flowered Vine' showcases the singer’s songwriting gifts and scholarly knowledge of old-school country. With the album's initial release, she sealed her reputation as country’s unofficial archive keeper, a woman devoted to preserving the roots of roots music.

Comedian Stewart Lee and director Michael Cumming (Brass Eye, Toast Of London) investigate a missing piece of punk history. Robert Lloyd, best known for fronting cult Birmingham bands The Prefects and The Nightingales, has survived under the radar for over four decades. But how, if at all, does Robert want to be remembered? The anti-rockumentary ‘King Rocker’ weaves the story of Birmingham’s undervalued underdog autodidact into that of the city’s forgotten public sculpture of King Kong, eschewing the celebrity interview and archive-raid approach for a free-associating bricolage of Indian food, bewildered chefs, vegetable gardening, prescription medicines, pop stardom and pop art. All of the highlights from the film are here, along with rarities which won’t appear on any of the deluxe reissues of the Nightingales’ catalogue, among them 7″ versions of “Use Your Loaf”, the Bob Luman hit “Let’s Think About Living” and “Black Country”, a glam remix of crowd favourite “Thick And Thin” and a version of Christy & Emily’s “Ghost” which rivals the Nightingales’ take on TLC’s “Unpretty” for sheer beauty. The only act with roots in the punk era that have gone on to make records more captivating, cutting and entertaining today than at any point in their past; 2022 will be a busy year for the Nightingales, with months of live dates planned, a limited edition remix 12″, deluxe reissues of both ‘Hysterics’ and ‘In The Good Old Country Way’, and a hardcover book collecting Robert’s lyrics.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A selection of brilliant Nightingales rarities and pieces from the film of the same name, written about Robert Lloyd of The Nightingales and The Prefects. A wonderful audio document in it's own right, and a perfect companion to a very funny film.

Earlier in the year, Washington, D.C-based Sol Power Allstars launched the Sweet Breeze Sound imprint, seemingly as a vehicle for oddball re-edits and nostalgic, sample-rich productions. Handling side A on release number three is San Fran's King Most, who crafts a hybrid 80s electro/proto-house jam out of echoing electronics, bobdypopping beats, and all manner of effects-laden samples (including a wealth from InDeep classic 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life'). Over on side B, Sol Power's own Marc Meistro takes over, laying down his own sparse, lo-fi, analogue-rich tribute to electro-era synth disco that once again nods to a variety of cult classics from the early 1980s.

Sound Sun Pleasure!! was among the many LPs recorded by Sun Ra for the Saturn label and one that was unusual amongst his early albums for predominantly featuring jazz standards. It was recorded on March 6, 1959, during two sessions that also delivered a second album with the same personnel, Jazz in Silhouette.

For this special addition of Sound Sun Pleasure!! a second complete album has been added as a bonus - We Travel the Space Ways, recorded mainly in 1960 and the perfect companion LP with its undertones of Duke Ellington.

Nintendo and Laced Records are linking up to bring the sweeping music of The Legend of Zelda™️: Breath of the Wild to vinyl records. This collaboration marks the first time a Nintendo soundtrack has been commercially released on vinyl outside of Japan. 

The unforgettable music of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild introduced bold new musical textures to the series, while embracing classic themes. From the first spine-tingling piano notes of 'Main Theme' to the final choral-orchestral stirrings of 'Epilogue', the soundtrack follows the ups and the downs of Link’s epic adventure. Each element of the game enjoys a distinct musical palette, including the iconic minimalist piano of the open world, the alien sounds of Sheikah technology, the tension-filled rhythms of enemy encounters, and the orchestral grandeur of the Divine Beast battles. The composition team comprised Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, and Hajime Wakai.

Blue Earth Sound returns with ‘The St. Louis Sessions’, a new EP following the success of 2025’s 'Cicero Nights'. Recorded in a living-room studio in St. Louis with local players, the project captures a spontaneous, collaborative approach, blending cinematic jazz, soul and groove-driven instrumentals.

Led by singles ‘Chartreuse’ and ‘Japanese Green’, the campaign positions the release within the growing global appetite for instrumental, crate-digger friendly jazz, with a strong focus on vinyl and collector audiences alongside DSP growth.

The Boroughs from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews and execute produced by The Duffer Brothers, tells the story of a seemingly perfect retirement community, where a grieving newcomer’s monstrous encounter inspires him to join a misfit crew of unlikely heroes who uncover a dark secret that proves their “golden years” are more dangerous, and they are more formidable, than anyone expects. The series incorporates music just as prominently as did The Duffer Brothers celebrated five season run of Stranger Things, with inspired needle drops framing each episode. Across 10 tracks, book-ended by the Bruce Springsteen tracks 'Thunder Road' and 'Born To Run' and featuring classic tracks from Santana, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Bob Seger, Heart, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Bill Withers and more.

For the self-professed (and the genuine) aficionados, the Sounds of Blackness are synonymous with reverence. With origins at St. Paul, Minnesota’s Macalester College in 1969, the group grew to encompass all forms of Black American life, both the divine and the secular, with a community ethos that led the choir and orchestra to gain a fervent regional following. After eventually signing with Perspective/A&M Records at the insistence of Janet Jackson and Jam & Lewis, the group released their debut major LP The Evolution Of Gospel in 1991, which is where ‘The Pressure’ first appeared as a uptempo, contemporary house track split into two parts. Frankie Knuckles’ ‘Classic’ mix followed the same year, clearing the clutter of the original to showcase Ann Nesby’s stunning performance. This mix would grow to fabled status amongst the true house heads, as anyone who frequented the Sound Factory, or had the blessing of hearing the likes of David Morales or Danny Tenaglia spin, will passionately attest.

Yet despite the myriad of mixes—‘The Pressure (Pt. 1)’ 12” release boasted 6—rumors grew over the preceding decades regarding an unreleased Frankie Knuckles’ iteration previously only heard live: a devastatingly emotional mix which stripped the original to its essentials, sans any percussion, and included an unabridged vocal. This take, here presented as the debut promotional single from our forthcoming The Atheists Guide To Gospel Music Vol. 2, is finally available officially as Frankie Knuckles’ ‘Lullaby Mix’ of ‘The Pressure Pt. II’. Clocking in at just under 6 minutes, this miraculous version includes previously cut verses, placing added emphasis on the aforementioned Ann Nesby vocal, along with Terry Burrus’ gorgeous piano playing. Satoshi Tomiie’s drum programming is forgone, with his synths suspending the song in pitch-bent celestial zephyrs, with key stabs and bass also included in the dance. Its a special mix, one that more than justifies its legendary reputation. The lone conceit here being, if this is a lullaby, how could sleep follow from such a spiritual deluge? What type of dreams await?

In Gianfranco Rosi’s portrait of Naples, Sotto le Nuvole, the ground shakes periodically. Between Mount Vesuvius and the Tyrrhenian Sea, the fumaroles of the Phlegraean Fields hiss volcanic gas and steam. Below the sleeping volcano, modern day Naples emerges in black and white and fills with voices, with lives. From the traces of history and the concerns of the present, Rosi documents a city immersed in its continuous past, with Daniel Blumberg’s minimal soundscape hovering in a sonic space between liquid and air.

Tasked with creating a soundscape that would suspend space within Rosi’s film, Blumberg called upon the extended technique of saxophonists Seymour Wright and John Butcher to create a gossamer fabric of traces and sounds abstracted from their instruments. Having transitioned from theoretical physics to the saxophone, John Butcher has always deeply considered space in the context of his playing. His concerns are with flow, density and how the saxophone is situated in the living world. Zeroing in on the core sonic properties of the mechanical and acoustic components of the saxophone, Seymour Wright has integrated its every breath, reed vibration, keypad clatter and hissed microtone of his alto into his own, unique improvisational language. In his work with these two seminal players, Blumberg makes his most concentrated soundtrack to date - reinforcing the film's sense of overlapping time and space, and pushing at the limits of experimentation.

Initially recorded in Daniel’s flat in London, Butcher and Wright centre themselves around long, consistent tones, so soft that it seems breath is being gently pulled from the saxophone's bell by an invisible hand. Blumberg himself adds haunting bass harmonica, and recordings of Wright’s launeddas - a traditional and ancient triple pipe polyphonic reed instrument from Sardinia, Italy. Blumberg then travelled to the volcanic region of Baia, next to Pompeii. Once a flourishing classical Roman city loved by Nero, Baia slowly sank under hydrothermal pressure, leaving the city in a kind of geological purgatory. Using specialised geophones and hydrophones, Blumberg took those initial recordings and amplified them underwater, sending them calling out across the ruins of Baia’s mosaics, Nymphaeum statues and villas.

“It was important to me that the music was whispered in the same landscape that Gianfranco has worked for the past three years, so that you can hear the volcanic air gulping, the lapping of the waves, the steam and bubbles popping against John and Seymour’s saxophone breaths – an echo from a suspended time.”

What emerges is deeply melancholic, tender, subtle and right at the edges of audio technology. Submerged in an aquarian mausoleum, the mysterious vibrations of the saxophone and its bell become an echo of an echo, wading from the future into the past. ‘Sotto le Nuvole’ is less a soundtrack than a process of aeration - a sonic puncture in the material of the film which allows its central message to breathe, and a remarkable experiment at the limits of the saxophone’s possibility.

'Once Upon a Time...The Tarantino Sound Vol. 2', following its homonymous Vol. 1, gathers 23 additional songs from the distinctive cinematic universe that defines Tarantino's style, from his earliest project, My Best Friend's Birthday (1987), to The Adventures of Cliff Booth (2026), for which he also contributed the script.

Music plays a vital role in the films of Quentin Tarantino. For him, songs are far more than background elements; they are essential storytelling tools. While preparing a film, he listens to countless tracks, using them to shape each scene's tone, rhythm, and emotional pulse. Some make it onto the official soundtrack; others never reach the final cut, yet still influence the creative process, helping define the atmosphere and emotional core of his work.

David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust, his most famous alter-ego, in front of 5000 stunned fans at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Now, the fully restored film and soundtrack will be released for the first time for the 50th anniversary of the show. Renowned filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Bob Dylan - Don’t Look Back, Depeche Mode - 101) captured the momentous event by filming Bowie and The Spiders From Mars backstage and onstage.

Although filmed 50 years ago, the film was not widely seen for over a decade. However, the film and its soundtrack have been newly remastered with the medley of ‘The Jean Genie/Love Me Do’ medley and ‘Round And Round’ featuring the late legendary Jeff Beck reinstated - the latter track making its very first appearance anywhere. Both performances were newly mixed by long-time Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti.

The show featured Bowie’s famous speech just before the final encore, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’, where he revealed that he was retiring the Ziggy Stardust persona. The shocking announcement came as a surprise to all in attendance – including members of his band and was the first proclamation of its kind in rock and roll.

Shooting Daggers are a band that never seems to stop. Sal, Bea and Raquel are one of the hardest working outfits out there, constantly playing shows and lending their support to myriad causes all around the U.K. and Europe. So, it’s always an exciting prospect when the band takes some time out from the maelstrom to write and record new material. And 2 years on from the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Love & Rage’ the band have been in Bear Bites Horse Studio with Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Green Lung) at the controls to come up with the goods once again. ‘The Real Life Thing’ is the latest hardcore sonic missive from one of London’s must-see bands, and it absolutely does not disappoint. Shooting Daggers are the real deal; the best, and most exciting and adventurous hardcore-inspired band in the country.

American piano player and composer Martin Denny developed a new musical genre in the mid-'50s by combining lounge jazz, Hawaiian music, Latin rhythms, bird calls, and ethnic instruments from around the world (such as koto, gamelans, Burmese temple bells) into a sound that became known as Exotica.

Best known as the "Father of Exotica", Martin Denny was responsible for the genre's biggest hit of all time with his 1956 single version of Les Baxter's 'Quiet Village', the title of the album presented here, and with the single included as a bonus track.

Featuring 36 tracks in total, with 5 brand new original recordings, spanning newly commissioned songs and an expansive original score. Long-time Peaky Blinders collaborators Antony Genn and Martin Slattery return to compose the film’s original score, while Grian Chatten from Fontaines D.C. and Amy Taylor of Amyl & the Sniffers contribute powerful new recordings that bring new voices to the Peaky Blinders soundscape.

Alongside the original material, the soundtrack features a curated selection of needle-drops from artists who have shaped the Peaky Blinders sound, including Nick Cave, Lankum, and McLusky. Highlights include a newly recorded version of Nick Cave’s ‘Red Right Hand,’ Grian Chatten’s collaboration with Lankum on ‘Hunting The Wren (The Immortal Man version),’ and two transformative Massive Attack covers—one by Grian Chatten, the other by Girl In The Year Above. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: As usual, a perfectly tailored and hugely evocative selection of pieces composed by Genn & Slattery, for the IP monolith that is Peaky Blinders. This time sees a couple guest spots adding more weight to the already hefty pieces, resulting in something that's as good to listen to outside of the film setting as it is within.

"The Sound of Love International 008" curated by Ivan Smagghe.

The next chapter of Love International's compilation series with Test Pressing arrives through the lens of Ivan Smagghe. Guided by his long-standing mantra, “the style of no style,” the 12-track selection drifts effortlessly between shadow and light - a reflection of the festival as he knows it.

This is Smagghe’s version of Love International: unpolished in the right places, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the stranger corners of the Adriatic experience. The compilation captures the balance at the heart of the festival: connection, curiosity, and a shared rhythm that holds it all together. Slightly out of reach yet exactly where it should be.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Love International / Golden Lion regular and widely revered drug-chug misfit, Ivan Smagghe presents his disjointed view of Adriatic revelry. Darker and more mystic than your Balearic counterpart; his selection for Dave Harvey's festival reflects the desire for contemporary sounds amongst its punters and DJs. With curveball after curveball across two discs, Smagghe takes us from day into night - from the Olive Grove to Barbarellas - keeping it suave and sexy throughout.

You don’t have to be a cinephile to know Michael Winner’s 1974 cult vigilante movie Death Wish. Starring the ever-stoic, quintessential action hero Charles Bronson, it was this film that defined the further careers of both Winner and Bronson. Right before this, they collaborated on The Stone Killer, in which Bronson plays a gritty detective from New York sent to L.A. to solve a case involving an old Sicilian Mafia family feud. The soundtrack is composed by jazz pianist and composer Roy Budd, who was also responsible for the much-praised soundtrack of the 1971 classic Get Carter starring Michael Caine.

It begins with a gentle tender melody but it’s a trick, as there is a 70-piece orchestra waiting to pounce. Suddenly the big picture is revealed, and the listener enters a full-on Budd theme with a cool jazz accompaniment. The score perfectly demonstrates Budd's ability to blend jazz with orchestral arrangements in ways unparalleled by very few composers. In typical 1970s fashion, this soundtrack will surely satisfy fans of the jazz-funk and library music found on labels such as KPM and Music De Wolfe.

Africa/Brass, released in 1961, was John Coltrane’s first album for Impulse! Records and a turning point in his recorded output.

Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and produced by Creed Taylor, the project expanded Coltrane’s working quartet into a large ensemble, pairing his searching tenor and soprano saxophone with dense, brass-heavy orchestrations by Cal Massey.

Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner helped shape the album’s distinctive sound, weaving tuba, euphonium, French horns, and more into a powerful backdrop for Coltrane’s improvisations.

With key contributions from trumpeters Booker Little and Freddie Hubbard, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Elvin Jones, and others, Africa/Brass reframed the idea of a “big band.”

One of the most important early Impulse! releases, Africa/Brass announced Coltrane’s arrival on the “house that Trane built” with radical clarity.

What I really like about Better Things is that it feels fresh; it doesn’t feel like a band getting back together and trying to revisit their past. In truth, there is a good reason for this… why there is a natural continuation of those releases from the 1980s other than it just being the same band.

Long term fans may notice when looking through the track listing that a number of tracks, such as the opening 222 Charles Barry Crescent and closing Lebanese American, both appeared as live recordings on VHS tapes back in 1990. Another couple of tracks, the magnificent Pink, dates back to the latter days of the original run of which a couple of demos of which have been floating around online for some time. The first single released from the album, Believe Me, is itself a never-completed and only relatively recently discovered, demo of Sheila and Mike’s post Delmonte project Surfurbia.

Forged at the crossroads of cinema and hip-hop mythology, The Man with the Iron Fists: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack remains one of the most ambitious musical projects of RZA’s legendary career. Curated, produced, and architected by the Abbott himself, the soundtrack blends the grit of classic Wu-Tang production, the vibrance of soul, and the pulse of modern combat-cinema scoring into a singular, cinematic experience.

This soundtrack is more than accompaniment—it’s world-building. Across its tracklist, RZA assembles an elite circle of collaborators, weaving together unreleased Shaolin chamber heat, reimagined soul cuts, and original compositions into a cohesive sonic universe. Heavy drums, kung-fu flourishes, and atmospheric textures collide to form a soundtrack that stands on its own as a full-fledged album—bold, cinematic, and unmistakably RZA.

A decade after its initial release, The Man with the Iron Fists soundtrack has only grown in cultural weight. It marks a moment where film, martial-arts mythology, and hip-hop lineage fused into something timeless: a body of work that pays homage to the origins of Wu-Tang while expanding its creative frontier.

Whether rediscovered on vinyl or introduced to a new generation of listeners, this soundtrack remains a masterclass in world-building through music—an electrifying fusion of East-meets-West storytelling, Shaolin-grade craftsmanship, and the unmistakable artistic vision of RZA.

Dealing in a hypnotic blend of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave, The Third Sound is a Berlin-based band led by the Icelandic musician Hákon Aðalsteinsson, who is the guitarist in Brian Jonestown Massacre and formerly played in the cult rock’n’roll outfit Singapore Sling. A mainstay of the European psych underground in his own right, not just through his collaborations with the likes of Anton Newcombe and Tess Parks, The Third Sound has been Hakon’s primary solo endeavour since the release of his self-titled debut on Newcombe’s A Recordings a decade ago.

Arriving following 2018’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’ LP, ‘First Light’ marks an evolution into a brighter and at times uplifting sound. Marrying moments of light and dark, the result is The Third Sound’s most dynamic full-length to date. Talking about the album, Hakon said: “This album is definitely less gloomy than the previous one, although some ghosts from the past are lurking in the background. We always try to make something new on each album and never make the same album over again, but this feels like an even bigger change than usual, especially regarding the mood. Something new is beginning although the past is not forgotten. I think the title, First Light, describes the overall feel of the record pretty well.”

‘First Light’ is the fifth full-length from The Third Sound and arrives off the back of 2018’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’, 2016’s ‘Gospels of Degeneration’, 2013’s ‘The Third Sound of Destruction and Creation’ and their 2011 self-titled debut. With Hakon Aðalsteinsson leading the group on vocals and guitar, the rest of the band is currently comprised of Robin Hughes (Guitar / Organ), Fred Sunesen (Drums) and Andreas Miranda (Bass). With a number of European tours in tow, the band have previously shared the stage with the likes of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Warlocks, Singapore Sling, Crocodiles, Clinic, Tess Parks and more.

“First Light further solidifies The Third Sound’s position as fundamentals of the European post-punk and psych underground.” Bad Luck Magazine
“First Light drives home The Third Sound’s mix of post-punk, neo-psychedelia and new-wave.” Rolling Stone France
“The Berlin-based band looks to shoegaze and the gloomier trips of early Creation classics for inspiration– with some narcotic post-punk thrown in for good measure.” Shindig Magazine
“A great album from a band that have returned on top-form. ★★★★” Louder Than War
“A powerful and dynamic album… highly recommended for fans of hypnotic and ethereal music.” The Sleeping Shaman

DJ Amir takes another deep dive into the back catalogue of Detroit's legendary Strata Records to curate a 2nd volume in his Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit compilations. Whereas volume one took in the soulful edge of the Strata canon this volume, as Amir says, 'leans into the label's groovier, funkier edges whilst still celebrating its bold, avant-garde spirit.'

DJ Amir's relationship to the Strata label has resulted in the release of the long lost Charles Mingus live 'Jazz in Detroit' box set released on BBE Music along with re-issues from The Lyman Woodard Organisation and re-imaginings of Strata's genre defying music by Berlin based DJ and producer collective, Jazzanova as well as remixes from Kai Alce, Wajeed, Henrik Schwarz, re.decay and DJ Amir himself and, of course, volume one of The Sound of Detroit.

Featuring music from The Soulmates, Fito Foster, Keith Boone & Janice Coombs and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet amongst others, The Sound of Detroit volume 2 absolutely exemplifies the importance of Strata Records in the history of innovative Black music as well as its place in the cultural landscape of Detroit as a powerhouse city for art and music.

The Lounge Society release single 'Anything' with accompanying remixes from Richard Norris (The Grid / Time And Space Machine / Beyond The Wizards Sleeve) and Claris Coy. This is the first release from The Lounge Society since 2022 album ‘Tired Of Liberty’.

TLS are very much connected to the The Golden Lion having worked behind the bar whilst also using the venue as a practice space. Their first gigs were at the venue and they’ve also had their album release parties there. The band are from Hebden Bridge and now reside between Hebden / Todmorden and Manchester. They also now have solo projects (Flying On The Ground / Herbie May / Cam Davey). Herbie also has formed the label Red Liquorice showcasing local artists such as Lily Rae Grant.

The track was formed during weekly practice sessions in The Golden Lion live room. It’s a song driven by heavy, distorted 70s guitars; built on brooding and moody verses, giving way to an explosive chorus. A fiery heart with a cool, charismatic exterior.

Richard Norris injects some contemporary punky-funky energy into the track on the first of his remixes. Galvanizing the bassline and crunching up the drums, instantly transporting the track to the middle of the leftfield indie dancefloor. An idea furthered on his second remix, which adds much more electronic elements, drawing it out into a psychedelic spiral of epic, peaktime proportions that aligns it with some of the stuff by Factory Floor and Phantasy Sound.

Finally, Claris Coy offers up a completely alternative take featuring discombobulated squelch, scorched sfx and glitchy vox. It's the most technofied of the four productions and would work in perfectly in ALFOS-friendly club sets, of which their spiritual home at The Golden Lion is famous for!

A brilliantly conceived record by our friends out there! Highly recommended. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: The coolest band in Calderdale return after a painfully long hiatus, but it's been worth the wait! Rejuvenated and clearly ready to rock, "Anything" finds them smouldering hot; equal parts swagger and headbang; with an arrangement that'll keep you on the edge of yer seat (or dancing manically on the dancefloor). Killer!

This album compiles many of the key recordings from the motion picture together – including previously unreleased tracks ‘Live and Let Die (Rockshow),’ ‘Gotta Sing Gotta Dance’ and ‘Arrow Through Me (Rough Mix).’

Uf0 and Promising/Youngster are the answer to a desire for breakbeats and perfect melodies. This is Uf0s’ (Sergio Garcia) second release on the label and when asked who he would like to be paired with, he wasted no time in suggesting fellow electronic musician and Spanish resident – Promising/Youngster (Diego Cardierno).

This EP begins with P/Y’s “Random Memories” as tried and tested live by him last year and its big sound simply fills floors and gets feet moving. The second track of his is with a more subtle approach to the dancefloor but the analogue arpeggios and breaks still rock. Uf0 and his opening track “Sashita” uses vocals sparsely to create atmosphere and an epic soundscape. Ending the ep “La Musica Non Riporta De Te” opens with his trademark lush pads which drop into breaks, more well-crafted gentle melodies and of course “Bass”.

Between them both they have appeared on an impressive roster of underground labels - Wave Modulation, Analogica Force, Further Electronix, Adepta Editions, Altered Sense, Withold, Gated. Limited to 200 copies on marbled Eco vinyl, with painted sleeve, a sticker and an insert “Fun in the Sun”, giving you some interesting activities and experiments you can do using the power of the sun.

Some of the most beautiful, era-defining music has been co-composed by Karl Bartos. 'The Robots', 'Computer Love', 'Neon Lights', 'Tour De France' and Kraftwerk's 1982 number one single 'The Model' all contain his deft musical touch. For the first time, in The Sound of the Machine, Bartos speaks candidly and with wit and humour about his life in Kraftwerk, a band widely acknowledged as being one of the most important in modern music.

In The Sound of the Machine, Karl vividly recalls what it was like to be in the Kling Klang studios during recording, describing the process and perfectly capturing the joy and passion of three people composing and recording. Now, with a successful solo career of 30 years, Karl Bartos recalls his post-war childhood, the amazement he felt on first hearing The Beatles, his first bands, his parallel career as a musician and teacher, his years with Kraftwerk, and his hopes and fears for today's musical culture. 'Full and frank disclosure of life in the world's most influential electronic band...

“The music of Season 2 of SEVERANCE is true to what came before in Season 1, while also developing new themes, new sounds, and new variations,” says Shapiro. “The season's bold expansions into new storylines and new locations, along with the incredible filmmaking and performances, provided plenty of inspiration.” “We are beyond thrilled to head back to Lumon with our Season 2 vinyl package,” says Mutant Co-Founder Spencer Hickman. “Working alongside Ben Stiller and his team, Fifth Season, and Apple has been an absolute honour and a joy. Greg Ruth and I are obsessed with the show and the chance to play in this sandbox again. Creating original art alongside in-show ephemera is like receiving a gift. I couldn't be prouder of the package we have crafted for Season 2, blending the Innie and Outie worlds just as the season itself felt instinctual. I really hope fans feel we have done it justice. PRAISE KIER.”

A no-nonsense 7" from Galaxy Sound Co that strips classic disco-funk down to its most useful parts. The A-side edit of locks onto the Pointer Sisters' rolling rhythm section, tightening the drums into a punchy tool primed for blends and quick drops. On the flip, Gene Chandler's 'In My Body's House' is reduced to its skeletal break, sitting comfortably across disco, boogie and hip hop-adjacent territory. A second, even leaner Pointer Sisters edit follows and is aimed squarely at loops, intros and sampling. Functional and effective edit form the master of this form.

Stay True Sounds supremo Allan Nicoll, aka Kid Fonque, and legendary UK producer Charles Webster have brought together the cream of the South African deep house scene for a unique album. The record was recorded at Flame Studios, a facility built inside a prison at Constitution Hill in South Africa, which is very significant to South Africans, because that's where the Constitution was written. “It's a remarkable institution,” says Charles. “Mandela was in there; you can really feel the history. You're working in a prison cell from a brutal regime. It's an important place. So, I didn't want the album to be too light, because you can't escape from politics anywhere, but especially somewhere like here - and you shouldn't.”

The long-lost 1979 dub masterpiece from Channel One Studio! Features the unmistakable 'rockers' sound of The Revolutionaries -- deep, heavy, and revolutionary.

Dutch Man Dub captures the deep Channel One groove -- hypnotic basslines, crashing snares, and cosmic echoes that stretch far beyond Kingston. Each track is a masterclass in dub minimalism, where rhythm becomes meditation and space becomes instrument.

Once obscure, now recognized as a classic of the late-'70s dub era. It captures the raw Channel One sound and showcases dub as meditative and spatial.

The 1st release for the new Plastic & Sounds label, founded by Shinichi Atobe and featuring brand new recordings from the legendary Japanese producer. For the label debut we get two tracks. The first, "Whispiers Into The Void", is a mid-tempo, deep house jaunt with fluttering rhythms, cascading dub shards and evocative piano notes; rooted with heartbeat of bass. The second, "Fleeting_637" is slightly faster paced, riding a bouyant wave of bassy bubbles and whale-like sine tone communication. Deep, almost Drexciyan in nature. 

It's a glorious return from one of the most illusive and cult adored producers of the deep techno / house cannon.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: The Japanese legend returns with a brand new label. Presented beautifully with high quality vinyl pressing, poly lined inners and slick Japanese aesthetics; it's a suitably well designed housing for these deep, underwater techno vibrations. No one does it like Shinichi, and the producer's unfathomable dexterity is perfectly on show here.

The legacy of wipE′out′′ has transcended time and cemented itself as a true transgenerational phenomenon. Launched in 1995, it didn’t just revolutionise the gaming industry, it created a bridge between the gaming ecosystem and the raver community. Its futuristic aesthetics and forward-thinking sound left a mark not only on mainstream audiences but also on the most demanding corners of the underground.

Decades later, the game’s impact is still alive. The release in 2023 of The Zero Gravity Soundtrack on Lapsus Records proved once again that wipE′out′′’s accompanying audio will go down in history as much more than just an anti-gravity racing game soundtrack.

This is why we decided to go deeper into the slipstream and build the second volume you’re now holding in your hands. Drawn from the original archives of Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, this new collection surfaces unreleased cuts, pieces that couldn’t fit on the first edition, and a suite of self-authored ambient reworks that translate pure velocity into wide-screen atmospherics engineered for the long straights, the drone of airbrakes, the blue hour between checkpoints. It also reconnects the circuit, gathering selections and variants tied to later chapters of the saga — wipE′out′′ HD and wipE′out′′ Pure — plus alternative mixes that, until now, only existed in the Sega Saturn dimension of the franchise.

Finally, the material takes a leap into the future in the hands of four remixers especially chosen for this release: Tim Reaper, SHERELLE, Mantra, and NikNak, who collectively forge links between CoLD SToRAGE’s pioneering musical vision, the sound world of the game, and the contemporary breakbeats and drum & bass vanguard.

Expect the DNA you remember — accelerated breaks, trance-vector synths, jungle influences, sub-bass rumbling neatly beneath the craft’s hull, and at times even echoes of classic hardstyle — now revealed with new angles and air. The previously unheard material carries the same aerodynamic design sense that made these tracks feel faster than the track map itself, while the ambient versions open the field of view with melodies hovering at the lip of overdrive. Without a doubt, here you’ll find a strong sense of nostalgia. But this isn’t just nostalgia; it’s also proof that this sound world continues to evolve when you ease off the throttle.

For the faithful — crate-digging ravers, speed-run obsessives, and design nerds — this is an essential expansion pack: compiling rarities, restoring context, and reframing the emotional core of wipE′out′′ for late nights and early mornings alike. Bridging memory and momentum, club and console, rush and afterglow. Strap in.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A blistering mix of pumping electronic rock, shimmering rave anthems peppered with moments of serene calm before breaking into neon soaked streets and sweaty clubs. Imagine if you will, a soundtrack to a game about racing massive futuristic anti-grav vehicles through leccy-filled tunnels, this would be it.

IDLES and acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan) quickly formed a creative kinship, united by a deep mutual respect for each other’s work. When Aronofsky began developing his latest film, Caught Stealing (starring Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz) he turned to IDLES, his favorite band, to shape the film’s sonic identity. Drawing inspiration from the gritty energy of the 1990s New York punk scene that permeates the film, IDLES contributed four original tracks, a striking cover of 'Police & Thieves', and recorded the full film score, composed by Rob Simonsen (Deadpool & Wolverine, The Whale, Foxcatcher).

Badasonic Records proudly presents a new chapter in its Soundclash Series: a transatlantic 45rpm featuring Belgian ska-reggae-soul collective The Utopians and Austin, Texas’ finest rocksteady outfit The Bandulus. Each band reimagines one of the other’s songs, creating a true musical exchange that bridges continents while celebrating shared roots.

On the A-side, The Utopians take on The Bandulus’ rocksteady gem 'Be Your Man' and transform it into a driving early reggae cut, infused with raw energy and vocal stylings influenced by Toots & The Maytals. Flipping to the B-side, The Bandulus reinterpret The Utopians' 'Don’t Work'. Originally an early reggae track, the song is reborn as a late-70s reggae version, adding a fresh electronic edge while keeping the soulful core intact.

This special release is the direct outcome of the two joint European tours that brought the bands together, solidifying not only their artistic respect but also a genuine friendship. Produced and mixed by Nico Leonard for Badasonic Records, the single captures the warmth of analog recording and the creativity of two groups committed to carrying Jamaican-inspired music into the present day.

Available as a collector’s edition 45rpm vinyl and digitally worldwide, this split single is more than just a record — it’s a cultural dialogue, a celebration of collaboration, and a testament to the strong bond between The Utopians and The Bandulus.

Adebowale and the Pioneers have hit the ground running with this authentic Afrobeat burner recorded in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria. 'Kilofese', the title track of their upcoming LP, translates to “do what you want to do” in Yoruba; a phrase meant in direct opposition to government overreach in the life of the everyday person. The fierce horn section, heavy rhythms, and searing vocals tell the story well. On the back, we have a horn section, insistent rhythms, and searing vocals tell the story well. On the back, we have a dance remix of their unreleased track 'Unnecessary Visitor' by new production outfit, Bamia.

Black Cash & Theo aka Mr. Thelonious flips two crate-digger holy grails into DJ gold on this latest 7" from Galaxy Sound Co. Side A hits hard with a rework of Upp's 1975 British funk-rock bomb, originally produced by Jeff Beck and immortalised in countless hip-hop samples. Thelonious strips it to the muscle and, in doing so, spotlights Jimmy Copley's legendary break while tightening the groove for modern floors. Flip it, and the vibe turns cinematic with the S.S.O. Orchestra's 'Faded Lady', which glows with lush strings, velvet bass and deep soul texture. Two more seriously soulful weapons primed for the heads from this always on form label.

Rare is the soundtrack that as time passes overshadows the film of which it was a part, but that’s what has happened in the years since the 1992 release of The Last of the Mohicans. Not that the film is any slouch; Michael Mann’s epic retelling of James Fenimore Cooper’s frontier tale is a cable TV fixture and more evidence that Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the great actors of our time. But the film’s music has emerged as easily one of the most popular scores of ‘90s cinema, with the “Main Title” in particular having become a part of our popular culture the same way as, say, the signature themes from Titanic, Star Wars, and other blockbusters. What makes it even more extraordinary is that the movie’s score emerged from postproduction turmoil as the work of two different composers, Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. Jones’ work is more of the traditional orchestral soundtrack ilk, Edelman’s has a more contemporary feel, but somehow it all fits, with the closing credit song “I Will Find You” by Clannad an added bonus. Long a bestselling soundtrack CD, we at Real Gone Music are releasing this revered soundtrack on double LP peach vinyl, inside a gatefold festooned with production stills. Guaranteed to get your blood stirring!

Helado Negro is the musical project of Roberto Carlos Lange, a South Florida-raised, North Carolina-based artist celebrated for his intimate blend of electronic textures, delicate vocals, and reflective songwriting. Drawing from his Ecuadorian-American heritage, Helado Negro’s music navigates themes of identity, community, and connection, always grounded in warmth and understated beauty.

His new five track EP titled ‘The Last Sound On Earth’ is inspired by the question of what the last sound we hear might be, the songs blend haunting production with lyrical vulnerability, grappling with grief, loneliness, disillusionment, and the search for hope. Through hypnotic rhythms and reflective lyrics, the EP dances with sadness, offering movement and music as a form of resistance and release in the face of emotional collapse.

Mutant, in association with Walt Disney Music and LucasFilm, are proud to present a 20th anniversary celebratory pressing of John William's original score to the iconic final chapter of the Star Wars prequel trilogy - Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Following a powerful return to cinemas this spring, George Lucas' 2005 science fiction epic has continued to capture the hearts generation after generation. Returning for his sixth Star Wars film, John Williams brings the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker to life with a masterful flair. From the opening fanfare's hard pivot to the action packed dogfight, Williams weaves between kinetic adventure, and haunting heartbreak with grace and precision. In a series full of the absolute pinnacle of music ever committed to film, Revenge of the Sith sits proudly side by side, while feeling wholly unique.

Long out of print on physical media, and only being pressed on Vinyl for the second time ever, this limited edition release features incredible original artwork by Matt Ferguson and is pressed on 2x 140gm black vinyl.

The game’s original score was created by Finishing Move, composers comprised of Brian Trifon, Brian Lee White, Jay Wiltzen, and Alex Klingle, who have delivered a soundtrack worthy of the Slayer’s legend. The music is a sonic reflection of the game’s adrenaline-fuelled action, its unique Medieval setting, and the raw energy of the classic DOOM experience.

Elements of thrash metal, modern deathcore, early doom metal and Swedish black metal bleed into brutal guitar breakdowns and downtempo grooves, while traditional folk instruments such as the Nordic bass tagelharpa, balalaika and massive animal hide drums are combined with modern synths for a dark and gritty sound that feels raw, primal and unmistakably DOOM.

Following the events of the 2022 feature film THE BATMAN, THE PENGUIN has the unenviable task of bringing a prestige television elevation to one of the most iconic comic-book villains of all time. Thankfully Mick Giacchino (STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW), who did additional music for the film as well, found a way to bridge the gap from the more heightened comic-book elements of the previous chapter, and grounds them in the grimy lived in character study that showrunner Lauren LeFranc and executive producer Matt Reeves have crafted for this series.

Frantic, chaotic like the titular character itself, Mick's score brings together elevated string quartets and percussion made from literal trash-cans, waltzing and occasionally crashing between worlds of high society and low-level crime. It's a brilliantly designed score that rests comfortably in the cannon of great Batman-music, while playing with the conventions of what these types of stories can be.

There’s a kind of quiet violence in how music is consumed today—flattened into background noise, sonic perfume fed into algorithms, sold as lifestyle. It’s entertainment as anesthesia. Sound without the weight. The Spiritual Sound, the new full-length from Los Angeles–based band Agriculture, stands as a pointed refusal of this condition. This is not a playlist. This is not a vibe. It is a demand.

Across its runtime, The Spiritual Sound traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary.

Meyer writes like someone clawing toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse, ecstatic grief. Levinson’s songs move differently: grounded in queer history and AIDS-era literature, amid the suffocating fog of the present, they carry the weight of survival as daily ritual. Her writing asks how to honor queer community and collective struggle without turning it into identity branding or personal mythmaking: how to stay honest, how to stay present. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar—one that defines the totality of The Spiritual Sound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression.

Agriculture’s formation mirrors this duality. What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band’s current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022’s The Circle Chant, expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024’s Living Is Easy: a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure.

Agriculture doesn’t offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn’t a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery. As the Buddhist saying goes “the only way out is in.”

It takes something special to change someone's life and plot a course for it. It was a new age for an 18 year old Alan Griffiths when he experienced the Television and Blondie gig at Bristol's then Colston Hall in 1978. He even gave his first 'serious' band an American style name - Apartment. It would link into the motives behind this and his second group, also based in Bristol. This was to be The Escape. That escape through his music was away from suburban mundanity and that of his day job.

Bristol Archive Records have decided to celebrate his musical life, seven years on from his death in 2017. This is in the form of a 'Sound Clash' between the two bands which shows an artistic journey starting in the era of punk, through new Wave and into the early 80's post-punk period.

In keeping with the punk/New Wave ethos that drove the three-piece Apartment, their featured tracks on the Clash have some rawness and edge. All of the songs show off a lyrical directness and vivacity which is backed up by the playing. 'New Age' blasts out of the blocks in a flurry of angled attack that viscerally thrills. 'Living Like This' has that similar energy, in this case from the adrenalin of a scorching live show. This is a glorious snapshot in time of a band on very much top form.

Alan's absorption of the Nuggets anthologies of late 60's and early 70's American psychedelia and general out there weirdness found their way into a song like 'Distractions'. This fused with a shot by both sides shake of New York explorations of the likes of Television, as the ringing guitar lines zing their way into your ears. Poison is a narcotic dream but without the drug taking - the band was never into that. But there is a lysergic launch that hits when the mid-section soars away taking the listener with it.

'Broken Glass' is a true epic and one of the centre-pieces of an Apartment gig. Alan recorded more than one version of this song, but this take replete with slashing Verlaine and Lloyd flavoured guitar, the Billy Ficca feel drumming and the full range of teenage angst in Alan's voice tells the full melodrama brilliantly. The whole vibe is of CBGB's in New York, a club that Alan had never been to and would only get to visit many years later. But he had been there 'in his head'. 'Broken Glass' was Apartment's very own Marquee Moon.

If a musical genre's or group's period of prominence could be a matter of months or a couple of years, then the chance to make an impact could be less than '24 Hours'. This London recorded attempt by The Escape at laying down their Comsat Angels/Killing Joke driven groove works a treat. Bassist Stuart Morgan and drummer Emil, who had followed Alan from Apartment into this new trio, lock everything down, as they do on the follow-up, 'Truth Drug'.

'Eden' and 'Relapse Collapse' were more London session productions and also songs toured extensively. The band used this recording as the backing for making a video of 'Eden', appropriately filmed at Ashton Court mansion, to the west of Bristol, for the BBC 'yoof' programme The Oxford Show in 1982/3. The later Bath superstars Tears for Fears were on the same edition and would become Phonogram label mates as well as a future working option for Alan. Stuart would later go on to work with U2.

'Relapse' and another meat grinder of a tune 'Flowers in the Dark' were typically set in the darker corners that The Escape loved to explore. The muscular 'Difference Between' is the one home recorded Escape offering, highlighting how much Alan's prowess at nailing a demo had moved on. Difference was one of the quartet of songs that comprised the collection that secured an eventual recording deal with Phonogram.

That pre major label period has however been captured perfectly in the sizzling sextet of goodies on this side. The band's sizeable recorded legacy of demos and sessions is one that stands tall and stands proud, as does that of Apartment.

'The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail' is the first film soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1975. It features selected scenes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail interspersed with a large volume of new studio material, much of which centers on a spoof screening of the film at the Classic Silbury Hill Theatre. Also among the new items is the "Marilyn Monroe" sketch, which Graham Chapman co-wrote with Douglas Adams – the pair having recently collaborated on the fourth series of Monty Python.

'Coastal' is a personal, behind-the-scenes documentary on Neil Young as he cruises the coast on his 2023 solo US tour. The film gives an intimate view of the maverick musician, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid. From his everyday observations on the bus to his candid banter with his audience. Coastal is a rare peek behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast.

Here we have 11 live tracks from said documentary, including 'Song X', 'Vampire Blues', 'Expecting To Fly', 'Throw Your Hatred Down', 'I Am A Child', and 'Prime of Life'.

In a sea of disposable, cookie-cutter music, Chicago stalwart Hieroglyphic Being continues to be a singular voice in the crowd. The 12 track album deftly maps the intersection of house, techno and EBM; while maintaining the curiosity of free jazz & the DIY of punk. Haters gonna hate, but the true heads are gonna rejoice! Limited import copies...

Delicious Patricia are a trio who dig and play the combined Instrumental, Surf and Garage sound of yesteryear, often introducing it to the sound of today, and tomorrow too!

Delicious Patricia was the fevered dream brainchild of drummer Rob Smith, who, after years of playing in rock covers bands got an appetite for something else; a surf band! An ad found Simon Trundle (previously The Palominos) for shred guitar, and Tony O'Rourke (previously The Strookas) on bottom end bass.

Mordros - Cornish for 'the sound of the surf' is the debut album. It features fifteen tracks, seven of which are originals written by the band, with six covers with a twist.

Side One kicks off with 'Penetration' (The Pyramids) leading you on to 'Surfgasm' one of the bands own tunes. Some cleverly arranged TV and film theme covers follow with a version of label stablemate, Billy Childish's 'Poka Hontas' (featuring The Del Pats on vocals), sandwiched in between. Onto another of the band's own tunes 'Crashing Wave' before a nice bit of Dutch surf in the form of Focus' 'Hocus Pocus', ending with the mellow beach sounds of 'Moe-uhana', Hawaiian for soul sleep.

Side Two kicks off with sirens, shouting and warnings of getting 'Caught In A Rip', another of Delicious Patricia's own work. Surf's up with a cover of the 'White Horses' theme, the boys give us their version of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'. The band then hit you with two of their own, telling us that 'Patricia Don't Surf' and it's also 'Patricia's Last Wave'. There is a wiener in-between those two majestic buns, with a cool cover of The Astronauts' 'Hot Doggin'. The album then reaches its climax with a tune honouring Newquay's most famous wave 'The Cribbar'.

How can a film score make you cheer, shiver, cry or punch the air?How do directors communicate their musical vision to composers?And when does a soundtrack take on a life of its own?'Fascinating, enjoyable and amusing...

opens a window into the art of filmscoring' Rachel Portman, Oscar winning composer for Emma'Brims with enthusiasm and joyful insight' Richard AyoadeIn Mark Kermode's Surround Sound the award-winning film critic, together with radio producer Jenny Nelson, embarks on a full-throttle trip down the glorious rabbit hole of film composition. Celebrating the emotional connection that audiences form with film music, exploring the evolution of film scoring from silent films to the present day, and examining how what we hear has an impact on what we see, Mark talks to some of his favourite composers and delves into the movie music he loves. Including interviews with extraordinary talents from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood to Oscar-winning composers Rachel Portman and Howard Shore, and telling the stories behind iconic soundtracks such as Jocelyn Pook’s Eyes Wide Shut, Michael Kamen’s Brazil and Vangelis’s Blade Runner, Mark Kermode’s Surround Sound is a thrilling take on how great scores are brought to life on the silver screen.

Monzanto Sound are a rising South East London-based music collective fusing together different styles from the African Diaspora with a hypnotic, psychedelic edge and a passion for the alchemical practice of sonic storytelling. Traversing through jazz-inflected funk, psychedelic trip-hop and cosmic neo-soul; they connect the dots using pulsating grooves, hypnotic polyrhythms and soaring vocals. The band consists of Mimi Koku on vocals, Mali Baden-Powell on keys, Wazoo Baden Powell on drums, Anthony Boatright on bass and Rachel Asafo-Agyei on guitar and supporting vocals.

Set for release in August, debut album 'The Channel' explores themes of love and conflict, justice and injustice, fantasy and mythology. Its title is a reference to many things: a journey, a portal or window to another place, a connection, a transformation. It also makes links, conceptually and sonically, between the organic and the technological, the material and immaterial.

In 2024 The Flightpath Estate, an online community dedicated to sharing the music and work of Andrew Weatherall, created an album in his memory and inspired by him. "Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Vol.1" was released on Golden Lion Sounds of Todmorden and sold out all its stock 1000 copies on vinyl. It made Piccadilly Records and Uncut Magazine’s end of year round ups, was Lauren Laverne’s 6 Music compilation of the week and raised over £6,000 for Andrew’s chosen charities. It featured new and exclusive music from Hardway Bros, Justin Robertson’s Deadstock 33s, The Light Brigade (David Holmes), Richard Sen, Sons Of Slough, Timothy J Fairplay, 10:40, Rude Audio and an Andy Bell cover of a Sabres Of Paradise track and opened with a Two Lone Swordsmen track that was at that point unreleased on vinyl.

Now the Flightpath Estate have done it again. "Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Vol. 2" is out this Autumn with ten more tracks inspired and influenced by the spirit of Andrew Weatherall - and all exclusive to this release... an unreleased Sabres Of Paradise track, new music from Richard Fearless (Death In Vegas), A Certain Ratio and Number, Red Snapper, Richard Norris, David Harrow, Dicky Continental, Bedford Falls Players, Unit 14 and a Two Lone Swordsmen cover by Sleaford Mods.

1500 copies, double vinyl, on Golden Lion Sounds.
Beautifully packaged with sleeve art by Personality Crisis.

STAFF COMMENTS

Volume 1 really was an outstanding achievement, from the heart, and warming our hearts and everyone who received it. Volume 2 looks to continue to trend as GLS and The Flightpath Estate unite the tribes under the legacy of the late, great Andrew Weatherall. Simply unmissable!

Hot Mulligan is a ride-or-die testament to staying true to yourself. When the emo band formed in 2014 and cut their teeth playing house shows and naming songs by closing their eyes and typing into auto-correct on their phones, no one expected they'd be selling out thousand-cap venues, one of their scene's most respected bands a decade later. But as Hot Mully releases their phenomenal fourth LP, 'The Sound a Body Makes When It's Still', that's exactly where they're at. Hot Mulligan is a resounding success story, the #1 Hot New Band (11 years running, just ask them), and ready to keep fighting the good fight.

A sense of fear lives and breathes throughout the album, in blistering choruses alongside the most vulnerable moments Hot Mulligan has ever laid to tape. That being said, this is still a Hot Mulligan record, and that means it rocks. Through it all, Hot Mulligan and longtime producer Brett Romnes laid down a masterclass. 'The Sound a Body Makes When It's Still' grabs your attention with all its fight-or-flight hooks, but it's the little nuances and connective tissue that make it Hot Mulligan's most cohesive album yet.

After previewing new solo music with June’s four track EP The Grand Designer, Adrian Sherwood delivers a brand new full-length work, The Collapse Of Everything, his first solo album since 2012. A meticulously constructed album from the master producer and mixologist, Sherwood pushes his ever adventurous sound into new frontiers. Although underpinned by a natural dub sensibility, the music presented on The Collapse of Everything fluidly crosses genre borders and seamlessly fuses a wide range of influences from a lifetime of listening and producing.

Although Sherwood has been extremely busy in the last few years working with other artists; from remix work for pop artists such as Halsey, full length critically acclaimed dub reconstructions for indie-rock titans Spoon, and Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, or producing critically acclaimed late career albums for reggae icons Lee “Scratch” Perry and Horace Andy (“Midnight Rocker” was heralded the Guardian’s #1 Global album of 2022); Sherwood has not released an album as a solo artist since Survival & Resistance, released almost to the day, 13 years ago.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Though we've not been without hints of Sherwood's unique dubby outlook (he's just not been sitting about), it's been a long time since a full album from him and 'The Collapse Of Everything' provides the perfect return for one of the most innovative and creative musicians and producers in the world. Absolutely stunning progressive, dub-adjacent pieces studded with huge guests too (Brian Eno on 'vocals'!)

The Sound of Johnny Cash is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash. Among other songs, it contains "In the Jailhouse Now", a Jimmie Rodgers cover which reached #8 on the Country charts, and "Delia's Gone", which Cash would re-record years later, on American Recordings, in 1994. Cash would also go on to record a significantly slower, more ballad-like version of "I'm Free from the Chain Gang Now", which was ultimately released in 2006 on American V: A Hundred Highways as the last track on the album. During the recording sessions for the album, Cash rerecorded his Sun Records hits "Folsom Prison Blues", "Hey, Porter" and "I Walk the Line", but none of these versions were ultimately used on the album and sat unreleased until the 1990s. On Side B you will find the album Now There Was A Song! ,the fifth studio album by American singer Johnny Cash. It features songs by notable country singers Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, and George Jones.

What started out a joke for a truly demented promotional campaign became so much more… originally envisioned as the soundtrack to an imaginary supermarket in the album promo for Hiatus Kaiyote’s “Love Heart Cheat Code”, these sultry and sensual renditions of Hiatus Kaiyote classics, like “Nakamarra”, “Red Room”, “Make Friends” and more, soon took a life of their own. Thus Tres Leches was born, a trio of heart wrenching troubadours unafraid to turn the lights down low and set the mood to “sexy”. Lovingly recorded and mixed in various hotel rooms on off days of tour, these raunchy re-imaginings are certain to stir the passions, ignite the senses and soothe the savage beast within. Tres Leches consists of Hiatus Kaiyote members Paul Bender & Simon Mavin and touring member SilentJay.

Featuring silky versions of tracks from Hiatus Kaiyote’s 3x Grammy-nominated back catalogue, including 2021’s Mood Valiant (#54 in the UK Official Albums Chart, #1 in the Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart, #4 in the Vinyl Albums Chart, #13 in the Physical Albums Chart and Record Store Chart and more), 2024’s Love Heart Cheat Code (#8 in the Independent Albums Chart, #20 in the UK Official Record Store Chart, #32 in the Vinyl Albums Chart and more), Choose Your Weapon and Tawk Tomahawk.

Music from the band’s catalogue has been sampled in huge tracks from the likes of Kendrick Lamar (“Duckworth”), Anderson Paak (“Without You”), The Carters’ “713”, and Drake’s “Free Smoke”. Hiatus Kaiyote have collaborated with the likes of Brazilian musician Arthur Verocai and Q-Tip, winning props from Erykah Badu, ?uestlove and Prince.

Far from the first side project of the band, Tres Leches follows much loved releases such as The Sweet Enough’s cult classic Marshmallow, Swooping’s Improvised Music 2015-2017 and The Putbacks self-titled debut, with Tres Leches members all collaborating with Theo Parrish on deep house single “What You Gonna Ask For”.

Tucson, AZ legends The Supersuckers’ classic third album - 1995’s 'The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers' - is back in print, and on limited colored vinyl!

'The Sacrilicious Sounds…' is a furious, sneering blast of punk rock that perfectly encapsulates the band’s special fusion of hard rock, punk, and low-brow country culture. The Damned meets ZZ Top? The Motörhead of the Southwest? Something like that, sure, but ultimately The Supersuckers are their own thing, and on 'The Sacrilicious Sounds…' - and especially on the single 'Born With a Tail' - singer Eddie Spaghetti’s woeful country laments begin to poke more assertively through their raw punk aggro. About that aggro: this is the band's sole album with Rick Sims, of Illinois punk legends Didjits, on guitar, and Sims dutifully cranks up The Supersuckers’ already formidable wall of overdriven guitars. As an extra treat, Sims sings lead on the blistering 'Run Like a Motherfucker'.

Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, and shot in the glorious, vintage VistaVision format, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist stands as a monumental achievement in filmmaking. Opening with a mesmerizing and continuous 10-minute overture, composer Daniel Blumberg’s music sets the stage for the film’s epic narrative, which spans multiple decades and follows fictional Hungarian architect László Toth (played by Adrien Brody) as he rebuilds his life in post-war America.

Encompassing large-scale brass orchestrations, intimately lyrical piano melodies and freewheeling, improvisational jazz, The Brutalist’s score is as ambitious and broad in scope as the film itself. Envisioning the score as slabs of sound – rich and resonating while also measured and restrained – the music developed into the sonic embodiment of the Brutalist design aesthetic, where imposing scale and raw textures meet values of simplicity and economy. To craft its singular sound, Blumberg worked with a cast of boundary-pushing musicians and improvisers, traveling across the UK and Europe with a custom-built remote recording setup to capture his players on location. Exploiting the tension between the fluidity of improvised music and the meticulous precision of film scoring, Blumberg coaxed out beautifully rich and resonant performances from his collaborators, including avant-garde innovators Axel Dörner (trumpet), Evan Parker (saxophone), Sophie Agnel (piano), and John Tilbury (piano), to name a few.

At the turn of the 70s, songwriters like Tony Macaulay (‘Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes’), Cook and Greenaway (‘Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart’), Lynsey De Paul and Barry Blue (‘Storm In A Teacup’) and John Carter (‘Beach Baby’) were bossing the singles charts and Radio 1 while more serious acts such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd concentrated on album sales.

“Chip Shop Pop” is a stellar collection of super-melodic, expertly crafted songs; it gathers two dozen of the songs that got away, all potential hits written by these Denmark Street-schooled songwriters. You might have only heard these records once or twice before, coming out of a passing kid's transistor radio, or in the background in a cafe, or a chippie, and then they disappeared into the ether never to be heard again - until now.

Aside from the Fortunes, Marty Wilde and Candlewick Green, very few of these names will be at all familiar but the harmonies, the string and brass arrangements and top session musician playing will all be familiar to anyone who loves the sound of ‘My Baby Loves Lovin'’, ‘Silver Lady’ or ‘(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice’. They are all incredibly catchy.

Compiled by Bob Stanley from his sizeable collection of 70s 7" singles, ”Chip Shop Pop” revives records on Bell, UK, Young Blood and Bradley's, labels that were home to these unabashed radio-friendly sounds that would disappear when first disco, then punk, came along later in the 70s.
Dormant for decades, many unavailable for more than fifty years, here is a perfect collection of sunshine-friendly pop with a capital P.
