A slight bias towards reissues this week, as we’ve been digging deep into a ten-CD box set of Philip Glass’ greatest hits and, since they turned up yesterday, neat new reissues of the first six Creedence Clearwater Revival albums.
The Robert Wyatt thing is a single, by the way, which seems to have been driven by Bertrand Burgalat (Wyatt and Alfie contribute lyrics); it’s pretty cheesy French dance-pop, but this remix by Hot Chip on the flip is much stronger. And Terakaft are a feisty and reverberant spin-off from Tinariwen, that I can highly recommend.
But here’s the full list. As John Fogerty has just pointed out, keep on chooglin’. . .
1 Philip Glass – Glassbox Disc Three: Einstein On The Beach (Nonesuch)
2 Jolie Holland – The Living And The Dead (Anti-)
3 The Dead C – Secret Earth (Ba Da Bing)
4 Lucinda Williams – Little Honey (Lost Highway)
5 Appaloosa – The Day (We Fell In Love) (Kitsuné)
6 Solange – Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams (Polydor)
7 Various Artists – Interstellar Overdrive (free with this month’s Uncut, plug plug, etc etc)
8 Harry Taussig – Fate Is Only Once (Tompkins Square)
9 Philip Glass – Glassbox Disc Four: Glassworks/Analog (Nonesuch)
10 The Grateful Dead – Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978 (Rhino)
11 Terakaft – Akh Issudar (IRL)
12 Gang Gang Dance – Saint Dymphna (Warp)
13 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Green River (Fantasy)
14 Philip Glass – Glassbox Disc Nine: Symphonies Nos 3 & 8 (Nonesuch)
15 Robert Wyatt & Bertrand Burgalat – This Summer Night (Hot Chip Mix) (Domino)
16 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bayou Country (Fantasy)
