This mighty 7" by Dennis Brown was recorded at Channel One in 1976 with Sly Dunbar's powerful drumming at the fore. It also featured on Side A of Dennis' Wolf & Leopards LP, one of the great LP sides in roots reggae... youtu.be/Ed42J_6TjtI?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky

14. This week’s episode was ‘Thirteen to Centaurus’, a rare adaptation of a J.G. Ballard tale. Stanley Miller’s script thankfully remains faithful to the central premise of Ballard’s 1962 story, which brilliantly subverts the concept of utilising a ‘generation starship’ to reach a distant planet.

If you don't know Gordons or Bailter Space, must hear. Robot World is one of the best records of the 90s, by far, noise guitar bliss. They get put in the 'shoegaze', but they were in their own category of dreamy sci fi noise rock. RIP drummer Brent McLachlan.

Extremely sad news that Brent McLachlan, the amazing drummer from New Zealand groups the Gordons and Bailterspace, has died after a long bout of ill health. He’d settled in the US and ran a studio in NYC; I was finally lucky enough to see Bailterspace live a couple of years back. Tremendous.
