A double LP by The Caretaker has been propped up by my sofa for days – it will probably turn out to be a beguiling spin, and not before time as I’m nearly at the end of playing my limited edition subscription-only 6 x CD set by The Caretaker (Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia) which...
Dear listeners, No radio show tonight (20th April 2007), as astute listeners will have already noticed. The Resonance studios are off-limits for a while. Next Friday’s show will probably be a repeat. Next live show on 4th May 2007. Podcast of The Fall still available; Good Friday podcast now taken down, and Progressive Rock...
The Brighton-based label The Slightly Off Kilter Label is owned by Paul Khimasia Morgan, who sent a couple of seven-inches and two CDRs. At least one of them (I’m Magic – Gimme a Fiver, sok010) by Yeborobo somehow exudes the kind of absurdist zanery that Volcano The Bear would like to think they’ve cornered...
In the vinyl corner this week, two LPs from our American cousins…The SB have a new LP on Italian label QBICO called Who Will Feed Them (QBICO 54). This seven-piece combo of bright-eyed American idealists meet on a regular basis to play, rehearse and perform in NYC, yet their release schedule is far from...

Competing for your attention this week: four new releases winged off to the sanctuary of the TSP box by Mattin. Long skilled as a wreaker of the most malevolent synth and laptop growls you could wish for, Mattin caught my eye last year with a stark, minimalist release issued jointly under his name and...
Josh Ronsen of Austin sent his brekekekexkoaxkoax CD last year; further evidence of the Texan improv scene has arrived in the shape of The Zanzibar Snails, whose CD Introdewcing The Zanzibar Snails (MYH01, first release on the MAYYRH RECORDS label) is a collection of ‘live improvised abstractions’. The core gastropods are Nevada Hill and...

People Like Us and Ergo Phizmiz arrive with a new collaborative CD, called Perpetuum Mobile (SOL156CD) and released by Soleilmoon Records in the US.
