Darkside - Spiral (2021)
I’ve had a bit of a revelation today after a great Shut Up And Listen Session the evening before. Streaming stuff instead of relying on physical media is perfectly OK.

commentsThe theme: Less Is More - three tracks celebrating minimalism (with the usual expectation of creative interpretation, misinterpretation or contradiction, of course)
commentsThis is an exquisite, sumptuous recent discovery courtesy of the wonderful Youtube hosted by Michael the German. Michael, who is a truly engaging German man with the most incredible vinyl collection, regularly shares his insights into the best, and often but not always, audiophile vinyl pressings.
commentsIs this album one of those genre-less wonders or an amalgam of everything put through a musical mincer? I really can’t make up my mind.
commentsSecond album from German band “Kin Ping Meh” (Chinese for “The Golden Lotus”) There’s a definite “The Yes Album” feel to early proceedings with more than a few weird meanderings along the way.
commentsBought this Friday. Played it Friday night. Didn’t love it. Played safto. Am goowin wi mi-sen and fookin’ lovin’ it! (Ok they’re from Nottingham)
commentsAnother absolute STUNNER which flew completely under the radar. This debut record from French duo The Limiñanas, is one of the biggest musical surprises I have EVER encountered!
commentsA big riffy, completely off-kilter, stoner rock record that sounds as big as Texas. That’s funny, coz these dudes hail from Fort Worth, Texas.
commentsAwesome B-Sides collection on spectacular “honey” coloured vinyl. Just fantastic to have this. One of my favourite songs of all time on one of my favourite albums of all time, is the wonderful “Not Too Soon”, sung by Tanya Donelly on “The Real Ramona”.
commentsI really needed a vinyl fix today. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done any digging. I rang the Smithies hotline (Facebook Messenger actually) and arranged to meet.
