I think I texted something to RIngo about how it would fit in the Ditch Trllogy perfectly. there's that smoldering anger towards LIFE in a few songs.

And appropriately, surprising none of us, the sound of it is fantastic.

(in any iteration) have gotten up to, mostly on account of the bass and guitar sound, which almost feels like it's dipped in a bar room atmosphere (complimentary). Was around for a good deal of the eighties and got whiffs of the seventies then and the new one has that vague sort of patina with also a footing in the contemporary. I almost detected a little Bowie influence in the first track's vox. Second-to-last Albizi is a high note! Well done. Also, I've test run a few records in the past few weeks and this pressing was the very quietest LP of all of them. Like, NO surface noise. Woo-haa!

Also, that Money Chicha record mentioned upthread turned out to be swell. Has some deft colorful stuff on it. Not on-brand for PRF but way too good for a band I'd never even heard before.

And the new expanded and remastered The Return of the Durutti Column reissue is FUCKIN' ACE, if you weren't aware!
Thanks for this - I needed a reminder to listen to this one - it's super great. The guitar on Yamaha I think (and maybe the bass?....I was in the car) were drenched in this sputtery fuzz that made me feel like a speaker was broken or something was on the verge of failure in a good way. Will def rip that element off in the future.

Okay, but what do you aluminum beard nerds think of the new Money Chicha???

Also, within the last week, Mary Yalex put out a new EP:

How 'bout that?

I get around, where ambient music is concerned, and she makes some of my favorite stuff along these lines.

Would recommend her previous albums Ohra, Fantasy Zone, Sentimental Journey, and The Patience of Eternity.

It's colorful, trance-inducing music. One afternoon, I was playing Fantasy Zone rather loud on my turntable, and it felt like the room was levitating.
ZzzZzzZzzz . . .

New Novel.
