#MusicHistory On this day 1981, the fearless & revolutionary Grace Jones released her legendary 5th album, Nightclubbing. The record fused hypnotic reggae rhythms, icy synths, minimalist funk grooves & avant-garde experimentation that was way ahead of its time. That iconic album cover!

Another direct reference to the mighty Brew, this time London flavoured, and it's excellent. A mighty ensemble of local talent, recorded in time for the 50th anniversary of BB, but COVID overshadowed everything, so released a good bit later. 😎 londonbrew.bandcamp.com/album/london...

What a magnificent noise! Miles had 2 bands for his, Mollestad has a trio! How on earth they create this wonder cacophony, Holy moly! Love love this one! hedvigmollestadweejuns.bandcamp.com/album/bitche...

The early (bloody cold) dog walk, where a vital spark was most certainly required. What an album, what vocals and arrangements. Magnificent. In the AOTY basket already ... daveholland.bandcamp.com/album/vital-...

Happy to have written the notes for this set. Upward Curve by Isotope - 3CD Box Set. A newly remastered collection from the acclaimed jazz rock band, taken from the original master tapes. Includes 1973 BBC Radio In Concert session, 1974 OGWT tracks, plus 2001 remixes. 👉 cherryred.co/Isotope3CD

Way home from work music, The Circling Sun and ‘Orbits’ (2025), excellent spiritual jazz ensues. My soul is saved thecirclingsun.bandcamp.com/album/orbits

Had completely forgotten so much of this, so completed season 1 re-watch. Wild and uncompromising, and equally daft to be fair, Banshee S1 (2013)

Bass player, composer/arranger, Nenad Vasilic and 'Non-Artificial' (2026, Tidal). Both artist and album new to me, his 16th album apparently. Absolutely loved this, modern weaving of balkan influences with uptempo modern jazz vibes. Definitely one to hear again, and an artist to explore further

Way into work today, Stephan Thelen latest in the series, 'Fractal Guitar 4' (2026). This one extends the ingredients list somewhat, with some new textures and some inventive playing over the top of the mathematical minimalism. Superb, really loving it! 😍 stephanthelen.bandcamp.com/album/fracta...

Best adaptation of the Odyssey, wrong answers only

Return to form for me. ‘On Being’ from last year I couldn’t get into at all. ‘Feeling is Structure’ (2026), definitely has feeling for sure, one listen in and way more engaged. Further listens required, but pleased 😎 maxcooper.bandcamp.com/album/feelin...

Magnificent album, Styx, ‘Circling from Above’ (2025, CD). Simply had to sweep up the latest physical releases but also exists on Bandcamp which I hadn’t realised. Another soaring success, sophisticated prog, polished by years of honing the skills and craft 👌 styxworld.bandcamp.com/album/circli...

Another excellent electronic album, lots going on here, and all of it good. @lippykidmusic.bsky.social great recommendation again … iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp04...

My way into work music ... 'Shred' by Skee Mask (2016, Bandcamp), a feast of electronic music fused with ambient soundscapes. Very enjoyable and evocative 😎 iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp02...

Some very chilled solo guitar courtesy of Michael A. Muller and 'Elyria Sound' (2026, Bandcamp). Enjoyable, relaxing 😎 michaelamuller.bandcamp.com/album/elyria...

This is exceptionally mad (the descriptor is on point), and I love it thus far. Only heard one of the two pieces contained here, and in for more! As its the third of a trilogy, I most definitely need to work backwards to experience the first volumes amarxe.bandcamp.com/album/explos...

Keep forgetting to re-visit this one, the excellent Exit North with the EP 'Harm / Terms' (2025, Bandcamp) exitnorth.bandcamp.com/album/harm-t...

Morning, sun is up before the clouds move in. Happy Saturday. ☺️☮️💙 #Sunrise #Photography #Nature #Scape #EKC

Last year's excellent release from Antoine Fafard with Gary Husband and Jean-Pierre Zanella, 'Quadra Spherum' (2025, CD). Magic prog-fusion fun 😎

Time for some Mogwai, and ‘The Bad Fire’ (2025, Deluxe, 2CD), another splendid release. Over the last 10 years or so, this run of albums has been particularly magnificent 😍😎

Time for some KC and one of my most fave live albums, and a KC gem, ‘Vroom Vroom’ (2001, 2 CD) recorded 95/96. Superb 😍

Rewatched for the first time in a looong time the other day. One of my first TV memories, and one that had me panicked as a small kid in shops wondering when the mannequins might come to life and come after me … ‘Spearhead from Space’ (1970)

Wonderful and one and only, Soft Machine, ‘Thirteen’ (2026, CD). Already a firm fave in the canon of magical moments. Since ‘Hidden Details’ back in 2018, just been absolutely peerless 😍

Ghost Rhythms wonderful album, 'Spectral Music' (2021, CD). Sums up well what this band are all about, playing with rhythms and time ... lovely
