Chris Rotter was the guitarist on the live band version of Two Lone Swordsmen and plays on the Wrong Meeting albums and Andrew's solo record from 2009 A Pox On The Pioneers. He has his own outfit, The Bad Meat Club. This song, 86'd, was previously only available on one of Andrew's 6 Music 6 Mix shows, a shimmering, pulsing piece of music from the point where kraut, psyche and shoegaze crossover. With the blessing of Andrew's family Chris has made it available at Bandcamp with the proceeds going to MIND. It's five and a half minutes of joy that you'll come back to time and again.
Play it back to back with this for some Friday in lockdown fun. The Lucid Dream, Carlisle's finest acid house/ noise rock four piece, had plans to release a new album this year which have been scuppered by Coronavirus but they've put out a new song anyway, something to whet the appetite. Sunrise is seven minutes of acid house, thumping drums, acid squiggle madness, synthlines and energy rush.

I like that Lucid Dream track. It's of a type I'd usually run a mile ( well, walk hurriedly) from, and yet this, it's hypnotically enjoyable
Fell asleep with that Lucid Dream tune playing gently in the background last night - that's a compliment by the way, I was tucked up in bed at the time!
Sounding very promising for the new Lucid Dream album. I think I will dig out and play the previous records tonight
Not related to this post, Adam, but have you heard the work of An On Bast from Poland? Melodic techno, experimental and ambient genres - I think you might like it.
Yep,looking forward to a new Lucid Dream album.
Thanks anon, I'll check 'em out.
