STEVEN WILSON - IMPOSSIBLE TIGHTROPE (LIVE IN MADRID)

• Steven Wilson: Impossible Tightrope (Live In Madrid)
      (2026, download, --, headphone dust)

A complete document of the final concert of the European leg of the hugely acclaimed The Overview tour. Recorded in front of a lively Madrid audience, the 2 hour plus show has been mixed from the multitracks by SW in stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos. Also included is a Binaural 'Headphone Dust' Mix!

An absolutely amazing concert.
Nothing spectacular, nothing earth-shattering, just a set of great songs, performed by some excellent musicians.

Beautiful.
Progressive rock at its best.

Here's a fragment of an audience recording of the same tour:

In 1991, 48 V. Phantom Power (also known as DJ Maarten van der Vleuten) released “Feel D-Base”.
The EP included ‘Moon 113 (Culltural Bass Vibe)’, a piece that sampled Frank Zappa’s ‘Are You Hung Up?’.
3 minutes and 18 seconds in the track, and almost inaudible, one can hear ‘Blank. Empty. Space. That’s What They Are Now’.

December 2025, the three tracks from the “Feel D-Base” EP got released on Bandcamp as part of "Feel D-Base / Graffity (1991-1992)”.

KOMMISSAR HJULER & THE MILF OF INVENTION - AMERIKANISCHE POESIE UND ALKOHOLISMUS #2

• Kommissar Hjuler & The MILF Of Invention: Amerikanische Poesie Und Alkoholismus #2
      (2017, lp, Germany, dicker barnes vol.1)

Kommissar Hjuler released several albums in 2017.
The “Amerikanische Poesie Und Alkoholismus #2” LP presented two live concerts by Kommissar Hjuler und Frau performing and interpreting the music of Frank Zappa.
The LP got released on white vinyl.

Next to this white vinyl album, the Dicker Barnes record label released a retitled version, “You Can’t Do That On Stage Anymore”, in a limited edition of eleven copies on red vinyl.

Another limited edition got released in 2018, again with different title (“Ashley”) and artwork and on blue vinyl. Other retitled re-issues have also been spotted.

Here's the duo performing a rather reworked version of Frank Zappa's 'Sofa' at Zappanale in 2010:

NURSE WITH WOUND - CHANCE MEETING ON A DISSECTING TABLE OF A SEWING MACHINE AND AN UMBRELLA

• Nurse With Wound: Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Marchine And An Umbrella
      (1979, lp, United Kingdom, united dairies ud 01)

British experimental music project Nurse With Wound (NWW) released their first album, “Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Marchine And An Umbrella” in 1979. Although it got re-released several times, the album was initially issued in a limited numbered edition of 500 copies.

The album would get released on CD in 1990, also on the United Daries record label.
2024 would see a remastered re-issue on the Rotorelief record label: limited editions on different coloured vinyls.

The album insert listed NWW’s inspiration mentioning Frank Zappa, The Mothers Of Invention, and Captain Beefheart.

Later in their career, the band went on to record 'Trouble Every Day', although they called the piece 'Subterranean Zappa Blues'.

ASTRAL HAWK MACHINE - ASTRAL HAWK MACHINE

• Astral Hawk Machine: Astral Hawk Machine
      (2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
      (2026, cd, --, black widow records)

Psychedelic space rock trio Astral Hawk Machine has just released their first album.
The band features Jay Tausig (USA), Bridget Wishart (UK) and Santtu Laakso (FI), which makes it a nice international mix. 

To be more specific, "Astral Hawk Machine" is Santtu Laakso's project. He will invite different collaborators as Astral Hawk Machine continues.

Anyway, I enjoyed this eponymous release, even if only for (former Hawkwind) Bridget Whishart's vocals.
