And in any case, how can you get all hot under the collar about an artist who seems to be sporting a necklace of shrimps on the cover?

Chrome Hoof – Chrome Black Gold
It’s a suggestive name, Chrome Hoof; redolent of the polish of sleek modern urban living, of the leather running sooth in the passenger seat and, well, being trodden on by a beast of the field.

Banabila and Machinefabriek – Travelog
This record has a quality of something special, of something indefinably GOOD about it; in fact so good I think I can get away with calling it brilliant. One thing’s for certain, I can’t get enough of it at the moment.

Fabio Orsi and Sindre Bjerga, Qbus Leiden, 5/10/13

Incendiary go to Incubate – Tilburg – Friday 20/9/13
Finally tiring of wondering when the singer’s going to stop acting like a villain from a Buster Keaton film and “get it on” and suck the blood of a virgin, we look around. It looks like a webmaster’s conference.

Copenhaarlem – SUB 071, Leiden, 10/9/13
It’s akin to listening to an audition to become NL’s number one flood defence warning system.

Land of Kush – The Big Mango
The Big Mango is a glorious mess, a true sonic jumble mixing all sorts of sounds that titillate the senses; at one turn it could be a Moondog record, at another it tries to convince you it’s a Soft Machine outtake.

Douglas Dare – Seven Hours EP
Dare comes along and lights a psychic firework in what I imagined to be an increasingly dull landscape.
