Roots Manuva - “Dreamy Days” 12” - Lovely stuff. The Super Furry Animals remix is good too, though that one’s on the CD single. From the record fair at the weekend, left a load of other Roots Manuva twelves for my pal Alan to raid. -
Plone - ‘For Beginner Piano’ - A wonderful record. Somewhere between the Radiophonic Orchestra, Broadcast and Boards of Canada. Not too much it was released by Warp and they later recorded for Ghost Box. I’m sure there was mention of the unreleased second Warp album maybe seeing the light of day.
Tempting for the odds and ends LP that’s exclusive for the box but given I have 3 of 4 LPs I’ll wait for the promised separate release of ‘As Seen From Above’. -
Dianogah - ‘Millions of Brazilians’ - An excellent album, lovely bass-lead instrumental fun. Ordered this from Discogs a week or so ago then discovered today that the Dianogah box set I’d had my fingers crossed for went up for pre-order at tue start of the month.
Luke Slater - ‘Alright on Top’ - This is the only Luke Slater album I have, and I gather it’s a bit of an outlier in his catalogue. Slater teamed up here with Ricky Barrow of the Aloof for a set of fairly thumping electropop.
Smog - ‘Rain on Lens’ - I have this on CD but the CD stopped playing. Always had it in my head that it was quite a bleak record, probably because of the artwork, but it’s not all that bleak. -
