Metal/grung by Helmet

Hard to define this trio from London, but here's last.fms attempt,

"Three Trapped Tigers are an instrumental noisenik outfit from London who exhibit the precision of electronica, the raw intensity of rock music and the schizophrenic spontaneity of their electro-improv past. Not easily classifiable, but with influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to Lightning Bolt and Battles. The music veers wildly from noisy guitars to contemplative synths, frantic beats to ambient noise."

So easy to dismiss The Division Bell until you hear it on a quality system...

Magnum - `Breath Of Life` CD

After a break of seven or eight years between studio albums Magnum returned with `Breath Of Life` in 2002. It`s not bad but to be honest I remember feeling a little disappointed when it was released. Having said that I don`t think I own a Magnum album that doesn`t have something on it worth listening to.

Fleetwood Mac - `Mirage` CD

Not everyone`s favourite by the band but I`ve always liked it. Can`t write off an album that includes `Wish You Were Here` and `Gypsy`.

Blondie - `Plastic Letters` CD My first Blondie album which back in the day I used to play to death. One of my favourite tracks around that time was `Poets Problem` which was on the B-side of `Presence Dear` and it`s included on this re-issue as a bonus track. Blondie albums are selling for an incredibly low price on a well known online outlet at the moment.

Electro jazzy funk.

Asia - `Aura` CD My favourite Asia album happens to include a wonderful and touching song called `Ready To Go Home` composed by the recently deceased Andrew Gold who co-wrote the track with Graham Gouldman formerly of 10cc. These two also formed the group WAX in the 1980`s. I am playing this in tribute to Andrew in the absence of my very difficult to access vinyl copy of his 1978 album `All This And Heaven Too`.

Indie, Experimental, Alt-Country Rock in a similar vein to Wilco

My Morning Jacket - Circuital

 

[DIB]

Some fantastic home grown British blues from guitarist par excellence Matt Schofield..

[SpiceWeasel]

.... seems that you can. Really enjoyed this after a first listen via Spotify, sounds more complete than some of his other albums. Sound quality seems to be really good, well as much as you can tell via Spotify. Might just have to buy the cd next time I go shopping.

The Pierces - `You`ll Be Mine` CD Four track E.P.

Only recently discovered this group via You Tube. Love this song, it`s very sixties sounding with a catchy tune, unashamedly fairytale lyrics and a great summer vibe. Check out the official video on You Tube. Tambourine optional but recommended.

Concrete Blonde - `Bloodletting` CD

Played this today for the first time in a long while. Labelled as Alternative Rock and I guess they are to an extent. Quite hard to label actually but suffice to say Johnette Napolatino probably has one of the greatest female rock voices you may have never heard. First five albums by this band are all worth a listen. Haven`t heard the most recent offerings as yet.

RT on top form...

Watching RT and band perform "A Love You Can't Survive" when touring this album is one of my all-time musical highlights.
