And if you fancy a quick flashback to 2015 our end of year review is also up on Mixcloud. We got to see some great bands and play brilliant music last year, how very lucky we are:

Monotony – Luxury Flats

Eclectic Mainline 19th June 2013

As regular listeners to Eclectic Mainline will know, I can’t keep up with all the music downloads that get sent my way and far prefer a 5″ shiny disc, or even better a 7″ or 12″ black disc, or…even better…. a 7″ orange disc. Which is precisely what landed in the postpile a couple of weeks ago from Affairs Of The Heart Records, the new single by The Elwins:

The Elwins - Forgetful Assistance 7" orange vinyl

That’s how it looks, and this is how it sounds. (Affairs Of The Heart have chosen not to enable embedding of the song, so you will have to click through to hear it I’m afraid).

Also in the show tonight was this by COH:

…and two songs from the 2012 Guided By Voices album Class Clown Spots a UFO, including this one:

You will find the full show available to listen again on this page.  Here is the playlist:

Guided By Voices – ‘Chain to the Moon’ (LP – Class Clown Spots a UFO) (Fire)
COH – ‘Aniki’ (LP – RETRO-2038) (Editions Mego)
Camera Obscura – ‘Every Weekday’ (LP – Desire Lines) (4AD)
Thundercat – ‘A Message For Austin / Praise The Lord / Enter The Void’ (LP – Apocalypse) (Brainfeeder)
Alela Diane – ‘About Farewell’ (single) (Believe)
Eat Lights Become Lights – ‘Modular Living’ (LP – Modular Living) (Rocket Girl)
Happy Families – ‘New Forgetting’ (single) (Sonic Cathedral)
Beans On Toast – ‘Bear and a Burger’ (single and LP – Fishing For A Thank You) (Xtra Mile)
The Elwins – ‘Forgetful Assistance’ (single) (Affairs Of The Heart)
Nancy Elizabeth – ‘Simon Says Dance (Matthew Bourne remix)’ (single) (The Leaf Label)
Landshapes – ‘In Limbo’ (single) (Bella Union)
Frank Bretschneider – ‘Big Hopes’ (LP – Super.Trigger) (Raster Noton)
Big Deal – ‘Dream Machines’ (single and LP – June Gloom) (Mute)
Guided By Voices – ‘All Of This Will Go’ (LP – Class Clown Spots a UFO) (Fire)
Robyn Hitchcock – ‘End Of Time (Re-mix)’ (single) (Yep Roc)

The future of downloads – Superior to CD!

The new album by Autechre is worthy of note for more reasons than one.  Firstly, the deluxe vinyl edition looks really..really nice and I will be very tempted to buy it when it’s released on 22nd March.  But what I think is especially interesting about this release is what you get as a download with the album.
