Yes played along for a while but even they couldn’t keep up with Hawkwind’s ever-expanding space-weirdness. And what of their soporific bastard offspring spawned of a stoned evening recording with Amon Düül? Do Hawkwind ever wonder just how far from them the likes of Gnod or Bong have really gone?

Twenty-five years since Mudhoney’s emergence onto the 1980s Seattle punk scene and not much has changed with their ninth studio album Vanishing Point. Did we really expect it to?

Until recently, a veil of mystery has enshrouded the duo behind the minimalist soul and R&B yearnings of Rhye, but one listen leaves you in no doubt whatsoever as to the theme coursing through every minute of their debut album. Woman is a love letter, a late night lament, and expression of joy and regret, a lazy day in bed with the one you love. … Continue Reading

The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. … Continue Reading
