The Owl's Map - Belbury Poly

Familiar Ghost Box trooping of the tropes: Garner's The Owl Service; Machen machinations; the Great God Pan; Toopian sinister resonance of the uncanny; 70s local television rurally themed programmes.


 A rarefied furrow, rewardingly ploughed. Get with it.

Christ Was Born On Christmas Morn - Various [1971]

Effluvium prophylactic. Join Blind Willie McTell, Blind Mamie Forehand, Cotton Top Mountain Sanctified Singers (featuring Frankie Half-Pint Jaxon - naturally) in dispelling rising tide of noisome yule pap.

Operation Hummingbird - Death In June [2000]

June 30 1934 Hitler launches the Röhm-Putsch aka Operation Hummingbird: political murder spree including liquidation of Röhm's paramilitary Sturmabteilung. Death In June...hmmmm(ing). 

Under-rated entry in Douglas P.'s martial oeuvre. Stirring.

The Triumph of Light...And Thy Thirteen Shadows of Love - Ordo Equilibrio [1997]

Kinky, overwrought and in thrall to C93-DIJ cyclic monotony n strum. Nevertheless, some tasty atmospherics created. A rubber-wrapped future beckons in the cold meat industry.

Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude - Nature and Organisation [1994]

Michael Cashmore enlists fellow travellers Tibet, McDowell, Stapleton n Douglas P.. Wicker willow the  bone white goddess. Thunder perfect n rociscrucial.

Clocks Are Like People - Circulus [2006]

Ancient wind instruments, vintage Moog synthesiser flourishes and what can only be termed, reluctantly, as Elizabethan harpsichord "work outs". Highly mannered, make that preposterous, baroque 'n' roll. Somehow, all captured in lead pantaloon's juxtaposition of period klobba and Specsavers eye-wear.

The whiff of generic coming of age 70s teen TV prog theme. Utterly, bewilderingly po-faced.

Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings.

A Moment of Forever - Kris Kristofferson [1995]

Free, twinkling-eyed spirit. Human, humane n holy. Still wild enough for you.

The Best Of George Formby [1994]

Indulge y brawd's occult attraction to George's insistent cheeky chappy double entendres and relentless right hand. With his ukelele in hand (or his little stick of Blackpool rock), mother, what'll he do now?

The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane - Jeffrey Lewis [2001]

Robyn Hitchcock reincarnated in New York basement as lo-fi outsider folkie. (Tip o' the titffer to the good Dr Watson under whose auspices such fine entertainment reaches this parish.)

You call that bein' hip? What world are you from?

Vinonaamakasio - Shogun Kunitoki [2009]

With what our North American cousins are wont to call a "sophomore" effort, SK dial up the prog flourishes while sticking to core MO: synth and organ driven blissed out minimalist repetition in T. Riley styled psych face off.  Grappling bravely with cliche - grandeur via crescendo a la Godspeed - winning through by building intensity upon small sound bank  fortified into maelstrom of melodic texture. Tidy.

The TIE Fighter of Love - Darth Phader [2010]

From the dark side, with a smile. Sorcerer's psychotropic ways bring new hope at 142.25 BPM.


Must listen; search your feelings, you know it be true.
