Classic heavy psychedelic album that's pretty far out. Lengthy jams with diversions into tribal drumming, dissonant electroacoustic experiments and dark folk. The vocals vacillate between the operatic and ridiculous.

A suite of winter compositions, fusing ambient soundscapes with pastoral folk. Lo-fi music box melodies, glockenspeil with dreamy guitar, piano and the drone of a melodica. Dreamy atmosphere, if a tad melancholic.

A collection of gentle songs with a simple piano accompaniment. You can hear every slightest movement and breath. Very much in the vein of Reiko Kudo. Delicate and pretty.

Jazz singer Leon Thomas' last album for Flying Dutchman. It's pretty decent. He takes more commercial orientation with a mix of r&b songs with soul-inflected vocals and a couple more substantial jazzy pieces.

Love the snark-like gorefriends and the nuances to maximising their utility in locking down specific areas and lifespan. They're also extremely cute, which is a must.

Wonderful slabs of funk and vodoun sounds from one of the most prolific bands in Benin. Extremely funky, joyous stuff. Sounds like a party.

The single source used for this Aube cassette is a voltage controlled oscillator. With a bit of processing and overdubbing the end result is a howling wall of noise that's similar to standing outside in a strong gale.

Their first gospel focused bluegrass album for Capitol and a fine one at that. For my money, their blood harmonies are the finest in history. My weird fixation with are you washed in the blood notwithstanding.

Orcutt's solo acoustic guitar work in all its angular and dissonant glory. Attacking a variety of standards - including Disney dross - and twisting them into barely recognisable, halting forms. Real 21st century blues

One man pop project from Fukuoka. All synths and samples to make some fun dub, techno and otherwise playful boingy music. A lot of stylistic variety if you enjoy a VGM-style polka or a bit of tabla and Arabic flavour.
