Time for doom. Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus πŸ–€πŸ™Œ No need for a description. Title says it all.

NP - Buckingham Nicks US press. Beautiful

NP - so pleased to find an original pressing of this beauty. Still feel like this is due a rediscovery πŸ–€πŸ™Œ

Thanks to @andrewmale.bsky.social and his drone quest for reminding me it was high time to get lost in this masterpiece. Rafael Anton Irisarri - A Fragile Geography πŸ–€πŸ™Œ [it is on YouTube]

Ok, my next @mojomagazine.bsky.social How To Buy is on Drone. It needs to be historical, definitive... educational? 😢 W. Basinski, E. Radigue, Earth, K. Drumm, P. Oliveros, T. Hecker, SunnO)))??? Any help appreciated. What r your fave drone long players? Best submissions will be quoted in the mag.

I folded like a deck of cards when I found this in the Oxfam cabinet today πŸ˜±πŸ™Œ 1963, UK mono. NP - it’s almost near mint and sounds incredible

So stoked to find a clean copy of my favourite Dark Side of the Moon.

NP - Aki Takase Trio - Song for Hope: Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival I heard about this thanks to the BBE Japanese jazz reissue series and WOW! Phenomenal stuff. I would suggest that even if trios aren’t your thing you may make an exception for this one. πŸ–€πŸ™Œ

Holy moly! I think that constitutes a pretty good record fair haul πŸ–€πŸ™Œ #sunra #psych #jazz #vinyl Went over budget but I’ve never even seen many of these! Particularly delighted with the Eugene Mc Daniels, but they’re all off my wants list!

Anyone at the Reading record fair tomorrow?

NP - shout out to Aguirre Records for the best packaged reissue I’ve seen in a long time πŸ–€πŸ™Œ

NP - Paul Horn - Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts πŸ–€πŸ™Œ Picked up on a whim for Β£1 and it’s a staggering recording! Highly recommended #cheapheat

Having finally found an original copy of this masterpiece, I’m happy to let this stunning Craft RSD reissue go. Very hard to find now. Β£35 including UK postage if any of my friends here wants one 😎 DM me πŸ™Œ

Another one I have written for Aquarium Drunkard. This time it’s one from this year in the form of another stunning Muriel Grossmann album πŸ–€πŸ™Œ
