The debut album from The Utopia Strong (Steve "Interesting" Davis, Kavus Torabi (Gong/ Cardiacs/ Knifeworld/ Guapo) and Michael J. York (Coil / Teleplasmiste / Guapo)) is released today. So while I wait for the vinyl to arrive I'm listening to it on Bandcamp.

Here's a sample:

Take a listen to this even if you aren't a Tull or a bass cover fan.

This is probably one of the most astounding basslines ever. Credit must go to Dave Pegg, Glenn Cornick and Bach for their roles in creating this... and Troy for managing to cover it.

Just listening to Lemon Jelly’s excellent album Lost Horizons for the first time in many years, so good. Several tracks are joyous, not an epithet I can attribute to much music I listen to...

Groundhogs, "Thank Christ for the bomb". Specifically, the track "Eccentric man". I've just listened to all the others. When it's finished, I'n going to play the whole album again.

Really rough, but very, very satisfying production on this record. 1970s for you, I guess. Bass sounds like it's clearly going direct. I can't work out if they've taken another feed or mike off the amp.

I'll be giving these freshly arrived oldies a re-listen later, remastered etc...

Crass - now that's a band I haven't listened to since the 70's.

TMS Podcast: View from the Boundary. I love these chats with people of note who happen to be cricket fans. Today it was Toby Jones; actor, master of a thousand weary expressions, and lifelong cricket fan.

I must confess to being late to the party with this band.  The name put me off - I thought it was a rapper!  Some cool stuff here.

You know what? I was always (daftly) put off this band by the name, going to listen to some now.

I must listen to these as they have been remastered. I often listen to Crass and wonder if the production had been better if it would have actually been a good thing, I think the scratchy tinny sound is part of the dissonance, like fingernails down a blackboard. Love this band, obviously.

It starts heavy, and gets heavier. Probably the heaviest bassline ever, made even more so by the use of light and shade.

Such a shame that stoner rock bands can't learn something about subtlety as well as sheer force from Sabbath.

Old synth stuff like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Fad Gadget, D.A.F. etc

Fad Gadget..? You! Sir are a scholar and a gentleman. The other three bands are superb but Fad Gadget, man, some of the most exciting gigs I ever attended.
