Doves - Jetstream; Lindstrøm and The Time And Space Machine Mixes 12"

Hello? Is that GOD on the line? Oh, hi, Babe. Listen, I know you do miracles and shit, but hey, why not really push the boat out. Let's go nuts! How about we get a remix 12" organised which has Lindstøm on one side and The Time And Space Machine on the other? I know! It's a brilliant idea isn't it. You don't even have to give me any credit. You will? Dude, you rock! Now how about turning some of this water into wine. It is Easter after all. Laters.

Lindstrøm - It's A Feedelity Affair.

I'm still TOTALLY obsessed with Lindstrøm. He is both massively prolific and immensely talented. This roundup of the choicest moments from his Feedelity releases is such a wonderful, uplifting record. I've written here before about the healing power of music, and this music has truly helped me through a few dark times over the last months. I'm a total fanboy over this guy. Why is everything Scandinavian so cool?

Now go and buy this.

Lindstrøm - Exclusive Mix Promo: Little Drummer Boy

One of my albums of the year has been the amazing "Where You Go, I Go Too" from ultra prolific Norwegian prog/psyche/kraut/disco Meister, Lindstrøm.

I was hugely excited a few weeks ago when another Lindstrøm album appeared, which features the vocal "talents" of his collaborator, Christabelle. Unfortunately, despite trying very, very hard and giving it my full and undivided attention, not much of this one is really sticking with me. I think the final nail in the coffin was when I realised that all the vocals were improvised. Or to put it another way, all of the vocals were unrehearsed. It sounds like it's been assembled from lots of tiny bits and at the moment, is irritating the hell out of me.

Thank the winter snow gods then, that my copy came with a promo 42 minute version of "Little Drummer Boy". Yes. THAT "Little Drummer Boy". Anyway you slice it, this is AMAZING in it's scope, cheek, musical artistry and awesome sonic invention. This is a future classic and no mistake. Probably best described as a "builder", once again, Lindstrøm finds the delicious sweet spot between motorik krautrock and super cooled cosmic disco. This is the shit.

Merry Christmas, Lindstrøm. Merry Christmas, everyone.
