It's easy to see why Viet Cong are so suited to a genre such as post-punk considering it came with the promise of heralding a 'limitless future' - for music at the very least. Songs often stop, take unexpected de-tours, and to paraphrase the Young Marble Giants constantly change. Like Interpol with 'Turn on the Bright Lights' Viet Cong is a re-boot of a classic sound with frequent and obvious spot-the-influence moments (Gang of Four, This Heat, Wire etc etc) with some of the quirks and eccentricities that half the band shared in their previous incarnation as Women still clearly on show.
It is very much an albums album, with it's only one real concession to pop-music being the single 'Continental Shelf', all the while conjuring an oppressive Orwellian atmosphere where the buildings are healthy...even if the people aren't, it is rarely predictable even if it is a jarring, bumpy ride, but it is also excellent.

The Magic Whip

Here they are again, sounding better than everyone else all over again. A marked improvement on Think Tank and most definitely rubbing shoulders with some of their best records. Reflective of the city it was recorded in - Hong Kong, there's a spacey, futuristic glow to each song whilst all the while a sense of melancholy loneliness and dislocation pervades amongst the hubbub. The Magic Whip finds Blur very much Lost. In. The. City. It is without a shadow of a doubt a brilliant album and an excellent return to form, sounding for all the world like the same band who released She's So High or even still The Great Escape, it will leave very few Blur fans disappointed - even if inevitably, you're left wanting more. Standout tracks include: Thought I Was A Spaceman; My Terracotta Heart; There Are Too Many Of Us and Mirrorball. 10 out of 10. [First added to this chart: 03/10/2015]

Backwards 

 Coil

The album between Love's Secret Domain and Musick to Play in the Dark that was abandoned now finally released finds Coil at a crossroads. The music is as infernal as ever with an impressive technical proficiency - however, Backwards is no techno-fest with many of the tracks very much resembling traditional songs, not unlike their seminal Horse Rotorvator album. But better. [First added to this chart: 10/09/2015]

Instrumentals 2015 

 Flying Saucer Attack

Fifteen Instrumentals that dance around the periphery of what we consider to be 'rock' music. Alternating slab's of noise jostle with some of Dave Pearce's most open-ended guitar work to date, which as so much orchestrate the more 'out-there'/coruscating moment's of Popol Vuh or My Bloody Valentine. Being the nearest FSA have come to resembling Roy Montgomery, Pearce's guitar-play creates a sound that is as old as time and as eternal as the yawning chasm of the universe. The sound of light refracting through space and time and the eye of the storm, Instrumentals 2015 manages to be both anarchically noisey and calmly serene. [First added to this chart: 06/29/2015]

Studio reworkings of live Chris & Cosey tracks that are no less engaging - or thrilling for that matter. Putting the sensual into the sexual; hedonistic, paganistic, pugilistic, and clearly enjoying itself, it is (ahem) hot on the heels of love. [First added to this chart: 02/28/2015]

Continuing to poke and provoke within their silken art-rock, Wire - architects of post-punks 'perfect sound forever' irrigates and re-invigorates. Wire being Wire is perhaps not such a bad thing especially when they manage to piss brilliance like this. [First added to this chart: 02/14/2015]

It's easy to forget how much a sense of humour John Lydon has especially in light of him being in not one but two heritage rock acts. More poppier and less serious than it's predecessor This Is PIL - but by no means lightweight, What The World...is another demonstration of Lydon's unique if not skewed take on rock'n'roll from this seminal Acme figurehead of punk rock.

Return to form after the weak Waiting For The Sirens Call see's the electronic techno-pop they're famous for back to the fore. Poppier and more housey than ever before even if the absence of Peter Hook remains a sore point. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2015]
