A tad live and loose, with more than a modicum of mess tonight – you get that from time to time. Since I’ve been somewhat slackerating on the blogular vein of late, I’m going to ping a brace of scorchers up, with a very definite guaranteed promise of more action later in the week.
It’s about time we offered up a little slice of mightyness from Richard Norris’s superb The Time And Space Machine album ‘Volume 2’. After the psych-soaked, aural overload of the first edits emission from Norris’s sci-fi hi-fi, I have to confess I was initially a tad underwhelmed by early plays of its succesor…… Now, with the vinyl in hand, I just mutter ‘O ye of little faith’ and turn it up to speaker cessating, seismic levels. The over familiarity of the vocal samples (which have been banging around on mix tapes since the days when they were actually tapes and called compilations, and the dolby dinosaurs ruled the earth) on this cut ‘Psychedelic Circus’ switched me off at first… that was before the unrepentant monstrousness of the ‘Inna Gada Davida’-esque riff soaked slowly into my brain and I was once again a T&S Machine zombie, fiending for more. Check heem below.
Buy it here, quick smart ..seems to be selling out of its current pressings at a lot of places.
I’ve been running a whole heap of RSD since Mr Smith blessed the b with a visit, and bought the proverbial ‘maison du fromage’* down. Part of the hefty Smith quota is because he left me with some utterly sterling tunes, the rest is because I’ve been tracking the ones I was missing down – like a bloodhound with bass fever. Previewing tracks for 30 second snippets on the computer is never an ideal way to shop, and there’s a couple I would probably have missed out on. This belching, roots-step monster on Ranking Records had slipped under the rhythm radar…. and that would have been a crime.
Buy or locally it can be scored through Beat Merchants, Samurai etc
*(I’ve been on a driving around to Mr Cooper Clarke kick of late, ‘Evidently Chickentown’ and ‘Twat’ should be issued as an antidote to road rage!)
