STACKWADDY - BUGGER OFF!

 


I don't have the original 1972 release. Only the CD and the 2020 vinyl reissue. But I was glad to add this counterfeit on the BSF Archives label to the collection.
(Stackwaddy's "Bugger Off!" album included their version of FZ's 'Willie The Pimp'.)


HEAVENS BASEMENT - FIRST

HEAVENS BASEMENT is a trio.
  • Elko Blijweert on bass and guitar.
  • Rudy TrouvĂ© on bass, guitar and vocals.
  • Frederik Heuvinck on drums.
Think hard funk kraut wave.


THE BEVIS FROND - HORROFUL HEIGHTS

  • The Bevis Frond: Horrorful Heights
        (2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
        (2026, 2cd, --, fire records)
Songwriter, guitarist and The Bevis Frond frontman Nick Saloman, together with his long time collaborators Paul Simons (guitar) and Dave Pearce (drums), delivered another fine album.

Channeling the spirits of the early seventies, "Horrorful Heights" is another fine album by The Bevis Frond.

Bandcamp download, also available as a 2 CD and as a 2 LP set.
There's also a 3 LP deluxe version !


THE GREEN RAY - ORCHARD HOUSE

  • The Green Ray: Orchard House
        (2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
        (2026, lp, UK, blue matter)

The Green Day's latest album, "Orchard House", got released on LP by Blue Matter records in the UK.

Psychedelic, progressive rock / folk.
Despite a history marked by the tragic loss of several original members—including founders Ken Whaley and Richard Treece—sole remaining architect Simon Whaley has successfully revitalized the project.


THE COSMIC DEAD - BEYOND THE BEYOND

  • The Cosmic Dead: Beyond The Beyond
        (2026, cd, --, heavy psych sounds)
The Cosmic Dead are widely celebrated as one of the UK underground’s premier space rock, krautrock, and heavy psychedelic jam collectives.
Hailing from Glasgow, the band is known for their massive, long-form musical excursions that frequently stretch past the 15-to-20-minute mark, heavily relying on hypnotic, circular patterns.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - FAR EAST NEW ROCK INVENTIONS 1969 - 1975

  • Various Artists: Far East New Rock Inventions 1969 – 1975
        (2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
        (2026, lp, Japan, 180 g wamono series)

"Far East New Rock Invention 1969–1975" is a fine compilation that chronicles Japan's transition from polite 1960s pop into a fierce, unhinged counterculture rock revolution. Released via the 180g label, this carefully curated 9-track retrospective serves as a reminder that while American bands were shifting the cultural landscape of the West, Japanese musicians were creating a parallel, equally volatile sonic boom in the East.
