NDW album from 1985 which I recently picked up from a record shop in Greenwich. It's very 1985, but the individually hand-painted covers is quite a cool idea. They must all have an X, yellow splashes, a single blue dot, and a pattern in red, but mine's defniitely quite different to this image.

White Ring were the most promising of all the witch-house scene, the Black Earth That Made Me EP is probably the highlight of the entire genre (though Fostercare released some excellent stuff, too). This is from 2018 though, long after that scene's ship had sailed, and although it has its moments such as the excellent shrill stomping of "Leprosy", it's a bit cheap and cheerless sounding at times. Having a listen to this. Helping the hangover.

I think this is the only album in the series I own, though I could've sworn I had Supersilent 6. Norewegian improv, it has something of a root in free jazz, with occasional brass and woodwind, but Deathprod seems to be the driving force here, electronics and plinky plonky synth noises are the order of the day.

This was as far as I went with Bolt Thrower, they were always my favourite of the grindcore/death metal scene, but I guess by this point in my late teens I started to move away from extreme metal as it became more codified and formulaic. To be fair to Bolt Thrower, they pretty much defined the death metal sound as they gradually switched from grindcore, dropping blast-beats entirely by this album, leaving their crust/grind roots firmly in the past. This album is all about slowing things down, those rolling double bass-drum patterns are still there, but the pace of the vocals and guitars is slowed, to give the wall-of-downtuned-guitars a bit more crunch and bite. Some of the fun seems to have gone by this point though, and that way with a bass groove that they used to have is a bit missing. Nothing you could hum along to on this. But I guess they achieve a what they aimed to, the air is thick with the crunch of power chords, there is a proper weight to the sound, which I think so few other extreme bands ever manage to capture.

Frank Bridge’s The Sea conducted by Charlie Groves. I mean what else am I to listen to on a fucking Saturday Night?

Properly fast and fun female-fronted punk/NDW, catchy as hell, the occasional bit of casual sax is great. The drums are great, the vocals have the best use of squeaks and oohs I've heard in some time.

Sometimes, you just have to head back to the classics, proper tunes. In this collaboration the first two tracks are recorded by Henrik and pissed about with by Akita, the second two tracks are recorded by Akita and pissed about with by Henrik. And it's quite lovely.

That's a great album cover. It totally is.
So much so that I've ordered my first vinyl copy in God knows how many years!

Occitan folk music seems strangely all the rage this year, and the long lost algroth currently has this as his number 1 release of the year, so why not give it a go.
