I have a few of Manier's records (an alias of Tadd Mullinix) and I always go back to them! Gritty, weird, EBM, industrial goodness, it's hard to pick one track from the record as there are so many great tracks to choose from.5. Alek Stark - GC 4406
Alek Stark has an impressive discography, dating back to 2002, many of which I have yet to check out. This release on CPU is pretty solid, some beautiful electro here.6. Reckonwrong - Morton

Another one from the mighty Central Processing Unit, a Drexcyan beauty.9. Dreams - Gut Bounce

Soft, warm, shimmering pools of sound.5. Holger Czukay - Longing for Daydreams
Apt title for clever use of sampling to lull the listener into a trance like state.6. Midori Takada - Mr. Henri Rousseau’s Dream
Percussionist and composer Takada melds traditional African and Asian motifs to form a delicate, airy narrative in homage to post-impressionist painter Henri Rousseau.7. Haruomi Hosono - Growth

4/2/17 London, United Kingdom1. Razen - Sleeper
Electronic trad?2. Dean Blunt – Papi
A fleeting piece from album ‘The Redeemer’3. John Cooper Clarke - Health Fanatic
Been a while since Dr Cooper Clarke made a world service appointment. Obvious lyrical prowess aside this is a unique & extraordinarily original piece.04. 2 8 1 4 - Recovery
Very tricky release to find, on vinyl at least. Telepath テレパシー能力者 & HKE are 2 8 1 4. Can’t recommend their album ‘Birth of a New Day’ highly enough.05. Chassol - Music Is God
Don’t know a great deal about this to be honest.06. Spiritualized – I Didn’t Mean To Hurt You (Instrumental)
Caught Spiritualized performing ‘Ladies & Gentleman…’ with full choir & orchestra late 2016, a reminder of how amazing they are in full flow. This is an instrumental version of a track from 2001’s ‘Let It Come Down’.7. Zazou Biyake – M’Pasi Ya M’Pamba

1. D-Day - Float A Bort
Beautiful mis-spelled dream pop. Taken from their 'Vale of Promises’ release on that most elegant of formats, the Flexi-Disc.2. Henri Texier - Amir
Avant-Garde Jazz Vocal beauty from the French double bass player.3. Stockton's Wing & Steve Cooney - Ice Fields
I found this one in my Dad’s 7" box on a trip home to Ireland last Christmas. The B-side of 'Skidoo' a popular didgeridoo led reel that ended up the Irish charts. This track, 'Ice-Fields' allegedly was recorded by Stephen Cooney on location at the Irish Arctic Expedition 1981 using a wind harp.4. Bill Nelson- Sleeplessness
Taken from Chamber Of Dreams (Music From The Invisibility Exhibition), a collection of backing tracks from his experimental multi-disciplinary performance project. The source material for these backing tapes came from the archives of the Echo Observatory. Bill Nelson’s expansive back catalogue is endlessly interesting. One of Britains great avant-pop eccentrics, he suggests on the liner notes that “Musicians owning this album, might enjoy sketching their own ideas over these tracks in the privacy of their own home”.5. Operating Theatre - Eighties Rampwalk (Fanning Session)
Operating Theatre was Irish composer Roger Doyle’s new wave band/ theatre troupe collaboration with Olwen Foure. Discovered this one on the excellent Strange Passion: Explorations In Irish Post Punk DIY And Electronic Music 1980-1983. Check it out if you haven’t already6. Unknown Artist - Veni L’amou (Come My Dear)
Recorded by Alan Lomax in Blanchisseuse (Tunapuna-Piarco),
Trinidad in 1962. Session notes say "Recording of the above tunes was made at the home of Mrs. Jean Eustache Stoute from 8 p.m. on May 2nd until early next morning.”7. Wally Badarou - Endless Race
Grab Badarou’s Echoes album.8. Makoto Matsushita - I Know
Taken from his album 'First Light'. The broken English lyrics only add to the feeling of a relationship breakdown.9. Mgqashiyo Ndlovu - Siyalivum’icala
I know absolutely nothing about this one except from the caption on YouTube which reads "Zulu Music (South Africa)"10. Bagarre - For Your Pleasure
Really weird spoken word Italo-Disco tune. A lot of the joy of Italo comes from the often awful vocals and this is a prime example of that.11. Vanity 6 - Make Up
Prince Rogers Nelson & Denise Katrina "Vanity” Matthews RIP12. Lives of Angels - Imperial Motors
Taken from their Elevator To Eden album, lovingly reissued by Dark Entries a couple of years ago. Imperial!13. Cleaners From Venus - The Jangling Man
Beautiful stuff from UK home recording pioneer Martin Newell. What I love about the Cleaners From Venus catalogue is that all the tunes are unabashedly massive pop tunes and the lo-fi element doesn’t feel in any way stylised, but rather just them doing their thing.14. Slowdive - Crazy For You (Alternative Demo Version)
The balearic sound of Slowdive.15. Kath Bloom, Loren Mazzacane - When Your Dreams Come True
Taken from their Restless Faithful Desperate album. Heartache.16. Mense Reents - This Is The Way
First heard this one a recording of a Donal Dineen set a few years back, a name most Shock World Service listeners are undoubtedly familiar with. The sad euphoric feeling of the tune is the quality I most enjoy in music.Visit our store: https://goo.gl/DL1cqa

Everything Comes From Chaos by Cian Ó Cíobháin
26/12/15 Galway, Ireland1. Young Marble Giants - Music For Evenings
From ‘Colossal Youth’, their debut album which was released in 1980.2. Katie Dey - y o y o
Melbourne-based Katie Dey released one of the year’s quirkiest EPs in the shape of ‘asdf asdf’.3. Kings Of Convenience V Röyksopp - I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From
One of the key songs in my life, all the way from Norway. This was released the same year as Röyksopp dropped their debut LP ‘Melody AM’.4. Björk Mit Funkstörung - All Is Full Of Love (seconddotted)
Back in the nineties Funkstörung made essential outsider electronica, where they merged complex drum patterns with melancholic melodies.5. Team LG - On Fire
It’s been a decade since Team LG released their debut - & only - record. I haven’t heard anything about them since and had, indeed, forgotten about them, until I re-discovered this CD, which had been missing from my collection for years.6. Low - What Part Of Me
Everyone’s favourite Mormon indie pop band returned with this perfectly-formed pop song in late summer.7. Marker Starling - Husbands
Christopher Cummings is Marker Starling, previously of Mantler.8. Kingdom - Bank Head
This classic on the Night Slugs label is almost 3 years old now, but a month doesn’t go by that I don’t find myself returning to it.9. Venetian Snares - Your Face When I Finally (Glass Version)
Yes Aaron Funk is actually his real name and this hugely talented Canadian producer has been pretty prolific since releasing his first records in the late 90s.10. Inga Copeland - I Am Your Ambient Wife
Inga Copeland is your ambient wife. & I’m not going to argue with her.11. Junior Boys - Teach Me How To Fight
The debut LP from Junior Boys, entitled ‘Last Exit’ masterfully combined 80’s synth-pop melodies with yearning vocals & the jittery, irregular rhythms commonly associated with UK Garage.12. Jam City - Crisis
After falling heavily for Jam City’s neon-kissed LP it wasn’t a huge leap for me to endear myself to the same artist’s U-turn towards neon-kissed r’n’b torch-songs that make up ‘Dream A Garden’.13. David Axelrod - The School Boy
Composer, arranger, producer, drummer & ex-boxer David Axelrod has had a huge influence on the music landscape with the likes of De La Soul, DJ Shadow & DJ Premier having sampled him.14. Susumu Yokota - Morino Gakudan
Susumu Yokota’s sounds have haunted me since first discovering him back in ’99.15. Our Brother The Native - Tilia Petiolaris
Back in 2006, two Michigan teenagers & their Californian buddy released their debut LP ‘Tooth & Claw’, an album born out of acoustic strumming, field recordings, analogue feedback, weird samples & often particularly twee vocals.16. Jackson C. Frank - Milk & Honey
The composer of this song lived a life of heartbreak & woe, but was a huge influence on folk singers such as Nick Drake (who covered this song) & Paul Simon.17. Saint Sister - Madrid
One of the debuts of the year, courtesy of Gemma Doherty & Morgan MacIntyre, which was recorded in Co. Kerry by Alex Ryan of Hozier.18. Kendal Johansson - Blue Moon
A gorgeous cover of a Big Star song, released on Sincerely Yours.19. Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving
Saint Etienne pulled out all the stops at The National Concert Hall last September, performing their classic début ‘Foxbase Alpha’ in its entirety.20. Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlmen We Are Floating In Space (Original Elvis Mix)
Back in 1997, Spiritualized’s third LP was barely on the shelves when the LP had to be recalled after an objection from Elvis Presley’s Estate.21. King Midas Sound & Fennesz - We Walk Together
So many of my favourites on 1 record. feat. Kiki Hitomi, with extra FX-drenched, shoegaze shimmering from Austrian guitarist & producer Christian Fennesz. Total heart-stopper.Visit our store: https://goo.gl/DL1cqa
