A big high-five to Swiss Adam over at Bagging Area for pointing me in the direction of the new Jane Weaver LP, 'The Silver Globe'. Two minutes into the featured track, 'Argent' (think Stereolab jamming with Neu), I was clicking around and buying the whole album - I've played nothing else all day. I could bang on about how good I think 'The Silver Globe' is for half an hour, or you could go here, to read a track by track commentary by Jane herself, while streaming the whole bloomin' record! What are you waiting for?
Don't take my word for it though, here's a taster, the Hawkwind sampling, 'The Electric Mountain'.

Really very good indeed. Will have to follow up. Love that tres 70's synth sound, like something from a tea-time sci-fi show or an educational programme.
Subsequent digging has revealed David Holmes and Andy Votel involvement in the recording of the LP. Trade marks of quality.
Hi 5 to TS 2...this is brilliant stuff.....just sampled thru the album on Spotify....going in deeper later. But it sounds superb.
