Rocket Probes – January playlist
Well hasn't January been a long month!!!
MIEN – MIEN
(Members of The Horrors, Black Angels, The Earlies and Elephant Stone come together to create a stunning and completely unique album that mixes kraut, psyched grooves and pop experimentation)
Anthroprophh – OMEGAVILLE
(Anthroprophh release their 'third' album proper and it is the best thing they have ever done – Heads like fuzz rockouts collide with mind expanding, lengthy, kraut excursions. We are quite floored with how good this masterpiece is!)
Anthroprophh
Mamuthones – Fear on the corner
(We can't get enough of Mamuthones new album so have a listen to a first play of the title track on Baba Yaga's Hut radio show on Resonance FM go too 48:30....and dig that dirty fuzz!!)
Mamuthones
Gnod – Be Aware Of Your Limitations (Live At Roadburn 2017)
("In case of sonic attack".....Gnod's electronic set from last years Roadburn reworked/remixed and torn to shreds by Andrew Liles from Nurse With Wound.
Gnod
Normil Hawaiians – More Wealth than Money
(Amazing psyched out Art Punk from 1982 – an essential reissue not to ignore. Though shame the vinyl doesn't have all the extras you get with the CD/digital version as there are some real killer alt versions of the album tracks!)
Normil Hawaiians
Acid Arab – Le Disco
(Killer Arabic dance grooves courtesy of John Doran)

Midori Takada - Through The Looking Glass

Tajak
Patrick Cowley – Invasion
(Hi-energy synthdisco banger, courtesy of Teeth of the Sea's Jimmy Martin)
Patrick Cowley
SBB – SBB
(Flowers Must Die's Rickard Daun turned us on to this heavy, grooved-out, psyched rock from Poland in '74 – a proper good 'air drumming' album)
SBB
Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag
(Great fuzzed post punk)
Cabaret Voltaire
Stevie Wright - Black Eyed Bruiser
(Oz rock from '75)

Lebenden Toten – Static!
(Pure fuzzed filth...thanks Mighty Lord Deathman for bringing this and many other utter bangers to our attention in your Quietus playlist)
Lebenden Toten
Davy Kehoe – Short Passing Game
(Stunning album that Teeth of the Sea's Mike Bourne turned us on too...essential purchase in our opinions)
Davy Kehoe
The Pretty Things – Talkin' about the good times
(Been a bit of a Pretty Things back catalogue kinda month)
The Pretty Things
Vanilla Poppers - Hole's The Goal

The Devil – Girl Wants You
('Kool Kieth' cover that recalls classic Country Teasers (with an added bit of 'mother sky' in places), not for the easily offended ha ha)
The Devil
Rivoli – Blue Jay Way
(Russian psychgaze three piece cover our fave Beatles song)
Rivoli
Rodion G.A. – Inversions
(Great track taken from the third Rodion G.A. reissue)

Flux of Pink Indians
Sonny Sharrock – Ask the Ages
(Did not know about this until Jimmy and Mike from Teeth of the Sea were waxing lyrical about it, killer heavy jazz featuring the master that is Pharoah Sanders)
