I like JPJs, albeit very modest, solo output. Zooma is a good effort, this one is better.

What's your take on Them Crooked Vultures?

They're ..... OK.

Bit of a waste of JPJ

Heard this on Huey Morgan's R6 show, downloaded the album from Bandcamp. Right up my street. The album is a concept album (albeit instrumental) about legal difficulties.

Sanguine Hum - The Weight of the World
Echolyn - The End is Beautiful

Only £2 each delivered. Bargain.

Contrary to what I thought before (using my mortality as an excuse to not buy it because I would not be able to properly listen to it due to my demise being closer now than it was yesterday), I ran into it for a fair price at the right time. On top of that I maintain my motto that I am immortal until proven otherwise and in doing so buying the time to let it sink in fully, I bought the massive Camel boxset.

So that's a 34 disc trip through the Latimer Landscape ahead.

Nadine was great but this artist, whom I'd never heard of, stole the show. Bought her album this afternoon, What A Devastating Turn Of Events.

Kind of known her since she was little.  She was always a nice girl.  I used to snigger when she said she wanted to be a singer.  She's done good, although it's not really my thing.

Coincidentally...I sold a single ticket for Joanna newsom back in 2005 on eBay...met the buyer and it was Nadine...

These two were up as a package on Bandcamp and when I went to order them they suddenly disappeared. So I contacted the band directly on Bandcamp and got a lovely email from a lady called Anne-Claire in France telling me that the only copies left available are from an online music seller in Germany called JustforKicks and had sold out on Bandcamp. Anyway, I ordered them from there and they turned up today:

Nine Skies - Sweetheart Grips (LP, 2019)
BC, SPO


Nine Skies - Return Home (LP, 2017)
BC, SPO

As I was in discussion with the band directly I decided to ask about the only CD of theirs that I haven't got in my collection which is called 5:20. It wasn't for sale anywhere, but Anne-Claire told me that there were a few copies at the record company and I could have one for 20 Euros delivered. So I went ahead and that's turned up today too. Great stuff and brilliant service from the band and I now have all 4 of their albums on CD. I did ask about future vinyl releases but it's unlikely in the near future:

Nine Skies - 5.20 (LP, 2021)

I have ordered at JFK many times, they deal with thigs very nicely and they have a large selection of prog in stock always. Last years RSD Van Halen 4LP set turned up from them with LP 1 twice and LP 3 missing. 1 phonecall was enough to sort the problem, my kinda service!
