2 Sigur Ros - Royal Albert Hall
3 Prolapse - Lexington
4 Swans / Jessica Moss - Electric Brixton
5 The Space Lady - Jazz Café

And some of the best of the rest

Going through this year's Wrong Speed releases, and in a very strong field this (so far) stands out. Remarkable track from a remarkable album. Been a good year for reissues, this is up there

New release: Magi Veniunt Ab Oriente
joquail.bandcamp.com/track/magi-v...

I arranged, performed & produced this motet composed by Clemens non Papa c.1500

I recorded 3 cello takes per part, each in one take, with no editing other than placement to create something as real as possible

Rattling the walls with 3 early Test Dept live albums and Peel sessions, remastered and collected in this impressive box set. Signed copy as well, from Lexer Music.

Think Sanam might well be one of the best things I've seen this year. Set packed full of remarkable sonic invention and genre-blurring. If you're at Rich Mix tonight you're in for a treat

As it's December, and I'd noticed there'd been a few more plays of my Xmas album, I posted a message to my Bandcamp followers about it.

Immediately lost 2 followers.

Anyway, let's see if the same happens on here:
