Beginning
with a track from the latest LP by Germany’s Vibravoid,
the Cat & the Brat once again this week
weaved a tenuous path through the labyrinths of their collective archives of
favourite tunes, to bring you an assortment of sounds by bands as diverse as the Long Ryders, Death
In June, Amon Düül, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Plasticland and the brilliant Espers, plus solo efforts from the likes of Cate Le Bon, Eric
Ghardin and Chris Bell, before
finishing on a ‘1-2 knockout’ with the Seeds
and the Sufis. We confess to rather long and
verbose introductions to a couple of our latest acquisitions, namely the wonderful
second album from the UK’s Beaulieu Porch
and the debut by young Dutch psychstar Jacco
Gardner – both artists have rapidly won a high spot in our ‘all-time
