Is it a different mix / remix to the version on the Soul Jazz World of Arthur Russell comp? I thought that was the one that was at some point destined for Talkin’ Loud but not sure, and not sure what’s on this one.
Nice Sade boot remix by DJ Duke
A slightly damaged cover on the Coldcut 12 which I may or may not already own, but in any case it was a low price for such a classic.
Jake Xerxes Fussell - What In The Natural World
I’ve been going through an earthy folk and cosmic country phase lately so this was a perfect compliment to fill that need.
“Entrancing guitarist and singer Jake Xerxes Fussell follows his celebrated self-titled debut with a moving new album of Natural Questions in the form of transmogrified folk/blues koans. This time these radiant ancient tunes tone several shades darker while amplifying their absurdist humor, illuminating our national, and psychic, predicaments.”
Richard Soutar - Lavendar Daydreams
70’s private press reissue limited to only 375 copies worldwide!
Blissed out folk psycher in the vein of Tim Buckley or Dan Fogleberg but waaay more psyched out. Richard has certainly dropped a tab or three in his time. A really, really good album to mind-surf to, and also poppy enough that it would sound good coming out of a boombox in a field while you are throwing the frisbee and smoking some bohoofus.
It’s the ‘ponytail’ mix which has a kick drum all the way through, it’s house heaven basically
PS here is a picture of it, which should help immensely
This was one I discovered during years back and it came on via a playlist when I was travelling home from London last week. I just remember feeling so many emotions and nostalgia in the moment so I decided to order it
been on a bit of a muslimgauze tear lately. love that the extreme stuff is finally getting vinyl presses. plus, buying from soleilmoon is a true pleasure.
Kinky, downtempo ambient and jazz, boosted with fructose and bound for bedrooms, by Kikifruit, a french illustrator, musician, and owner of Astral Soda label
Originally issued as ’Surfing Hobo Botherhood’ in 2023 on their own label in edition of only 25, Albinos’ ‘Bamboo Night’ now reaches a wider audience via Swiss label WRWTFWW, who’ve juiced the best bits and “added some ice, a slice of orange and a splash of rum” for this maiden vinyl version.
Perhaps a little late to soundtrack summer in our hemisphere, the eight track can nevertheless be relied upon for an RDA of vitamin sunshine. They hustle a smouldering, sun-dazed verve that lands easy on mind, strafing from the whispered Japanese vox, erotic sax and downstroke groover ’Topaze’, to a gently bubbling ‘Bamboo Night’, taking in their stride the panpipe house of ’Suburbia Girl’, and DJ Sprinkles-esque ‘West Gate Park’ and ‘Mystic Rain’, to the warm electrosoul embrace of ‘Honda Civic’.
back on my ambient country bullshit again. but it’s lovely, and it’s got a great name and album title too.

Are you London based by any chance? I’ve put on Jeffrey Silverstein’s two London shows with Bobby Lee and Joe Harvey-Whyte over the last couple of years, don’t know if you caught one? Amazing gigs.
Was gutted to miss these. Any plans for another one?
Need to listen to that one!
