Wouldn’t say I’m a metal connoisseur as such but had a thrash ‘big 4’ day yesterday as was partial to all of them in my younger days. Great stuff…sure blew the cobwebs away!!

One per artist and loosely ranked…

Gravity Grave
Verve

Verve’s early eps and debut album gave me the same thrills and excitement that Ride’s had a few years earlier. It didn’t last but around 93/94 they were one of my fave bands.

Kiasmos - Kiasmos (2014)

Not really up on my electronic sub genres but seen this described as ‘orchestral techno’ which fits pretty well. It’s a beautiful and hypnotic debut though from the Icelandic duo.

After rounding off my #80sTop30 with Spellbound earlier today… in the mood for some more Banshees tonight 🖤🎶

What a fantastic game of cricket. A record run chase by India to overhaul reigning world champs Australia in the WC semi final. So much emotion at the end, really showed how much it meant…loved it 🙌🙌

For fellow 90’s gazers, aside from the big 3 (mbv, Slowdive & Ride) other fave albums from that era?

At the time think I’d have said Whirlpool, now i’d probably go Delaware but love ‘em all 🩶

A trip down indie memory lane back to 89/90. Live Birdland were a blast, 20-30 mins of chaotic high octane pop punk inevitably ending with a smashed up set. Not all their records captured that raw energy but Hollow Heart ep and the live freebie album sure do…fun memories 🙂

Day 24

Revolution
Spacemen 3

Bought this based on an MM review and was blown away by it. Along with a couple of others in the late 80’s (mbv, House of Love) it opened up a whole new world to me.

Yerself is Steam - Mercury Rev

Chasing a Bee, where a pretty flute melody is overwhelmed by a nuclear explosion of guitar noise halfway through, sets the tone and in Frittering it has one of all time favourite songs. A warped masterpiece of an album
