What was in that building before ?

It’s usually just “last few tunes” of the weekend in this Sunday time slot , but this week something slightly different : last musical suite of the weekend .
Ritual by Jon Hopkins , a journey through ambient soundscapes with the occasional (well, one) sonic cathedral thrown in , when it peaks …

This was my other purchase today , a lovely vinyl copy of this beauty , sleeve slightly worn , vinyl pristine , £20 .

Tonight I shall , yet again , be enjoying the IMO greatest album of all time , Veedon Fleece . I was at a mini- Record Fair today and found the reissue CD version from 2008 with the two bonus tracks .
“It aint why why why , it just is ……” 🖤💚
Also One other great find I’ll post soon .

John King The Football Factory book cover. Close up of a horse's face with lettering in green and black at the bottom.

"That’s essential, to show both sides of the equation, the thrill humans get from conflict, also the creation of enemies and how that makes us feel good about ourselves. George Orwell knew. I look at stereotypes, point out hypocrisies."

Vastly under appreciated writer , “Human Punk” is an all time classic .
His last one “London Country“ was brilliant as well .

Not many Superstars though …..

Been listening to two great albums this weekend , both with outstanding singers …

Imagine Bowie wis yer Da …

The greatest album of the last 20 years …

Slowdives album “Pygmalion Demos“ is an undiscovered post-rock masterpiece . Hidden away on the 2CD reissue of its erstwhile parent album , it has slipped under the radar .
They really should put it out on vinyl but the CD is just fine , beautiful stuff ❤️🖤

Yes 😁
