Getting right under my skin this album.
Bugger (again)!
‘phantom’ on the b-side of that sisters single, choice cut!
found this for a quid a couple of days back. pretty tight slice of whiteboy britfunk from the ex-members of zones, simple minds and others…
Endgames - Ecstasy (Centurion Mix) (1983)
Yokai is back in stock
i recently overpaid for a beat up copy of that, but i’ve wanted it for years and never seen it in the wild.
So good!
A bath time staple for me
Recommendation from All Night Flight. Very good for making art to, reminds me of Broadcast but more Teutonic.
Back in
Nice!!
I heard 2000 pressed
a nice lil’ stack from further:

i loved the “field guide to inner harmony” release, so this was sort of a no-brainer as it’s all from the valley of the sun back catalog.
it’s funny what we turn our noses up when we’re young - there was SO MUCH new age music clogging up portland record stores when i first started buying a lot of records. i must have shot right past so many gems.
this one’s on black vinyl (which doesn’t seem to be in discogs yet), as i prefer.

had to pick it up, after streaming it scads of times. i probably did NOT pass by the original of this in those portland record stores (i’ll bet the originals stayed closer to home), but i’ll never know for sure.

decidedly not new age, but wonderful in a different way. the first crazy p album i’ve bought since “the wicked is music”, which is an oversight on my behalf. not playing as many house gigs, i wasn’t buying that much new house music. but i should have been (especially “age of the ego”).
https://www.discogs.com/release/23785115-Tornado-Wallace-Dream-Corner
also not new age but also not totally house either. but good. didn’t love it at first, but it grew on me and then i thought i’d better pick it up while i still can.
https://www.discogs.com/release/31355569-Greg-Foat-The-Glass-Frog
really good, and along with “the rituals of infinity” just some of the best modernized jazz of the last year. greg foat makes me wish i had more money (or maybe narrower interests).

https://www.discogs.com/release/27845643-Various-Multi-Culti-Solstice-III
i go on these lil’ jags where i dig into a label and then quickly fall in love and buy up what’s available. again - wish i had more money - but i am sort of lucky in that at least this is north american import pricing rather than europe import pricing.
Long time want finally reissued.
APRES-MIDI by TESTPATTERN
Also ordered up a copy of the new Isle Of Jura Dubs while i was at it, mainly for the killer @TheNightlark edit.
That Testpattern LP is ridic.
