Blue Orchids Manchester, UK
Continuing the mystical thread and acid explorations which were a hallmark of The Fall's initial line-up, Martin Bramah has
quietly crafted a trove of psychedelic visions unparalleled among musicians of his generation.
Despite never quite cracking mainstream public consciousness, Blue Orchids endure as a living treasures of head music for post-punks, with a series of deeply-magical recordings.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.

These tracks were recorded around the same time as their self-titled debut, and while that was excellent, I reckon this to be twice as good. Funky, chunky, melodic and lyrically superlative, Mark E. Smith would be very pleased and proud to be honoured so regally, not that he'd ever admit it.

Bay City Pistols
by HOUSE Of ALL
supported by 31 fans who also own “Groundhog Life”
By taking my eye off the ball and being so excited about HOUSE Of ALL's eponymous debut released just four months earlier, I completely missed this one, at least until today. There's a couple of remixes and a few live versions of tracks from the first album, so overall it's a cracker. It rumbles along occasionally going out of control much like what you'd expect from a Fall/HOUSE Of ALL related product.

Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette.
