After a week of Syro being on near constantly, time to go backwards - Drukqs, Analord and The Tuss records are all cued up for today's coding marathon.

A quick look back at Syro's origins:

If you ever get the chance - see one of his shows. Great fun.

He's my default choice for riding through the night on Audax events - very uplifting!

At the other end of the scale, I am listening to Los Campesions, Alasca and The Moulettes.

Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three

I'm not a fan of cover albums, even if they were cut for a good cause like this one was, but oh dear God this is pure, unadulterated awesome as befits the people performing on it, amongst others: Henry Rollins (naturally ...), Tom Araya, Mike Patton, Iggy Pop and ... Lemmy.

I could easily see me listening to this during turbo sessions.

Definitely

Regardless. Thea Gilmore in fine form.

Teenage Fanclub - Songs From Northern Britain.

Bought on a whim (one of those for for a tenner jobs), promptly forgotten about, and spotted at random on the shelf. It's definitely a grower.

I hate you Dibdib !

The first four Sibelius symphonies, the Helsinki conducted by Berglund. I wanted something powerful while I worked on my books, and, well, I can say no more. Wonderful.

Leon Fleisher playing 5 Beethoven piano concertos with the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by George Szell in 1959/61. Beautiful stuff to unwind to after a hectic day in front of a PC.

A geezer with a double-necked guitar telling tales from topographic oceans?

I have to say that at first listen Mystoria, the latest from the greviously-awsum Amplifier, does not appear to be up to snuff. Sounds more like sub-Sabbath bludgeon riffola and the last thing they needed was a second guitarist .??

Stevie Wonder's performance of Superstition on Sesame Street, followed by Jeff Beck joining him to play same in 2009, then Billy Gibbons, Beck & the phenomenally talented Tal Wilkenfeld playing Foxy Lady, a bit of a Beck/Wilkenfeld jam, then Blockheads (Wilkenfeld and Watt-Roy are not a million miles apart).

Tame Impala - Innerspeaker.

Tried listening to the new album last night and didn't like it as much, seemed a bit too poppy.

Been listening to Joni Mitchell all day........ best female artiste ever.. ?

Just been playing Keith Jarrett, "The Survivors Suite" , with the volume up & the lights off

With the very untimely passing of Mark Bell announced today; LFO, rather loud on my main system.

Some of you may not be familiar with his work as LFO and other aliases, but are possibly more familiar with his work with Bjork, as he produced around 5 of her latest albums (and Depeche mode Exciter amongst other things).

A true talented innovator and a thoroughly nice man. RIP Mark.

Azam Ali, Elysium for the Brave. Sample at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRT7L3913BU

Atmosphere, in spades. One amazon reviewer describes it as "...closet Goth...a wonderful mix of darker progressions of techno-middle-Eastern Farsi...along with overtly Gothy Western New Age/pop/rock with English", which pretty well covers it.

Her earlier stuff has a lot of Monserrat Figueras about it. This doesn't.

Opposites - Biffy Clyro

Took me until T in the Park this year to realise that they had released another album after "Only Revolutions".

It's taking a bit of getting used to, it's not "Puzzle", that is for certain, but contains a few good tracks, "Stinging Belle", "Biblical" and "Black Chandelier" among them.

Patti Smith. Goddess.

Tokyo String Quartet, playing Beethoven beautifully. A package arrived earlier with the Complete String Quartets in.

Wonderfully recorded, the discs are SACD hybrids & play perfectly on my standard CD player.

Radiohead.

Genius stuff.
