Duffy

The Lilac Time are original members Nick & Stephen Duffy, with Claire Duffy who joined in 1999 and helped out immeasurably here by Ben Peeler. John Paterno returns to mix and master as he has done since No Sad Songs of 2015. Without conventional drums or bass their fondness for country and folk hues are clearer. These are unequivocally and absolutely the best songs Stephen Duffy has ever written in his twenty or so long playing album career. The first single release is "A Makeshift Raft". A song that asks if those seeking freedom need drown, then ponders the inevitability of continuous wars. It praises the America of Allen Ginsberg before a few bars of yodelling. It ends by eulogises fingers, guitars and songs of love. Something for everyone then. The song is accompanied by a video created by Martin Carr. They love being who they are and they love this album and they hope you will find time to dance till all the stars come down with them.

This 1971 recording signals the beginning of Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander’s fruitful relationship with MPS, lasting over a decade and encompassing some dozen albums. Originally touted as heir to Oscar Peterson’s crown, Alexander is famous for his virtuoso melding of jazz, the sounds of the Caribbean and blues. The classic Dave Brubeck Quartet’s bassist Eugene Wright, calypso percussionist Montego Joe, and ace drummer Duffy Jackson round out the quartet.

Felt is a late 1970s British indie-rock cult band founded by the mononymous individual Lawrence. "Let the Snakes Crinkle Their Heads to Death" was their fifth studio album, released in 1986. For the 2018 reissue of the album, Lawrence returned the record to its original planned title, renaming it "The Seventeenth Century". The reissue also featured a different cover, replacing previously used photographs with typography.
