Stragglers...

Here are a few tasty items that have found their way into the racks lately that may have escaped your notice. Not necessarily Brand New, but, we think, worthy of your attention. Titles and minimal descriptions will be provided. The rest is up to you. If your curiosity is piqued you may refer to your favorite source of info on das internet or stop by for a more full blown enticement.

Mark Hollis-S/T
reissue of 1998 solo LP from Talk Talk frontman.

Cave - "Neverendless"
now here on CD or LP

Jim Ford - "Harlan County"
reissue of overlooked gem of Country Soul from late Seventies

Father's Children - "Who's Gonna Save The World"
Unbelievably Numero Group provides us with one more unearthed, unreleased treasure from 1973 by this fine DC soul outfit

Laura Marling - "A Creature I Don't Know"
this is getting some of the best reviews we seen in a while. Apparently quite "a stunning fulfilment of early promise" say Record Collector. This 21-yr-old British chanteuse is definitely on the way up. LP or CD

Field - "Looping State Of Mind"
yet another band that seems to improve with each new release. "Minimal techno stylings" probably does it an injustice. Top notch

A Winged Victory For The Sullen - "S/T"
the group is comprised of a dude from Stars Of The Lid and Dustin O'Halloran. It was described as "pastoral". That usually floats our boat.

NEW ARRIVALS: CDs - Bjork, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Feist, Radiohead & Jean-Claude Vannier

BJORK Biophilia CD
*** "Biophilia is the Icelandic singer and composer's most ambitious undertaking in her 20-year career. Someone actually said, 'To me, it feels like the birth of opera or the birth of cinema'."

BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY Wolfroy Goes To Town LP / CD

JEAN-CLAUDE VANNIER Electro Rapide CD
*** RECOMMENDED "Electro Rapide is a collection of rare & unreleased archive material from the vaults of Jean-Claude Vannier. Taken from the period before and during his revered creative period with Serge Gainsbourg, this is a mix of JCVs familiar trade-mark motifs from his coveted work for idiosyncratic French pop vocalists (Briggitte Fontaine, Claude Nougaro, Leonie, Anna St Clair) with the seldom heard experimental music for ballets, fashion shows as well as his infamous film music (such as the soundtracks for Cannabis & La Horse)."

JEAN-CLAUDE VANNIER Roses Rouge Sang CD
*** "A NEW album from JCV! The signature sound is there, complete with his brooding orchestral sweeps, pensive drum-drops, loudly plucked bass & biting clavinet."
