VA - Women of Progressive Folk (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

PROGRESSIVE FOLK

VA - Women of Progressive Folk (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Progressive folk is the moment when traditional folk steps beyond its inherited boundaries and becomes something more exploratory, more personal, and more modern. It keeps the acoustic roots and modal beauty of older folk forms, but reshapes them through intimate songwriting, atmospheric production, quiet psychedelia, chamber‑folk instrumentation, and a reflective emotional depth that feels both ancient and newly invented. Instead of preserving songs exactly as they were, progressive folk uses tradition as a springboard, expanding melody, stretching harmony, and bringing a poet’s voice to the foreground. It is folk transformed rather than repeated, a gentle evolution defined by curiosity, stillness, and a willingness to push the music somewhere more daring and more human.

Progressive folk didn’t arrive all at once. It drifted in quietly, note by note, voice by voice, carried by women who were reshaping tradition long before anyone thought to name the movement. Some recorded in the 1950s, some in the 1970s, some decades later, yet all of them share a common thread: a willingness to push folk music somewhere more personal, more poetic, more daring, and more emotionally honest. Women of Progressive Folk gathers these voices into one place, not as a timeline, but as a living continuum.

This anthology traces the full arc of that evolution. You’ll hear the early roots of modern folk in Jean Ritchie, Connie Converse, and Barbara Dane, artists who planted seeds that would bloom years later. You’ll hear the late‑60s awakening, when Bridget St John, Judy Dyble, Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, and Anne Briggs began bending folk into new shapes, letting modal melodies, soft psychedelia, and poetic introspection take the lead. You’ll hear the confident expansion of the early 70s, when Sandy Denny, Shirley Collins, Joan Armatrading, Judee Sill, and Catherine Howe brought depth, craft, and emotional architecture to the genre. And you’ll hear the long afterglow — the quiet‑folk revival carried forward by Gillian Welch, Joan Shelley, Catherine MacLellan, Nanci Griffith, and Julie Byrne, whose recordings echo the same spirit even when made decades later.

What ties all of this together isn’t the year on the label, it’s the sound. A certain stillness. A certain clarity. A certain way of singing that feels both ancient and startlingly intimate. These women weren’t chasing trends; they were building a language. A language of modal beauty, quiet rebellion, and emotional truth.

This box set is a celebration of that language. A complete recording history of progressive folk as told through the women who shaped it, sustained it, and carried it forward. Whether the track was recorded in 1954 or 2017, it belongs here because it speaks the same dialect, one of courage, curiosity, and quiet transformation. (B)

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound: The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees (50th Anniversary 1976-2026) (3CD) (2026) Plus (31 CDs)

K's HALLOWEEN SPECIAL (34 x CDs)

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound: The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees (50th Anniversary 1976-2026) (3CD) (2026) Plus (31 CDs)

In celebration of 50 years since Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin first took to the stage at the 100 Club Punk Festival on 20 September 1976, here is my personal compilation of their very best work for this year’s Halloween special music presentation.

Siouxsie and the Banshees were a British rock band formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bassist Steven Severin. The Times called them "one of the most audacious and uncompromising musical adventurers of the post-punk era".

Initially associated with the punk scene, the band - including guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris - rapidly evolved to create "a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation". Their debut single "Hong Kong Garden" (1978) became a high-charting release peaking at number seven in the UK Singles chart. Their debut album The Scream released soon after was met with widespread critical acclaim. Following membership changes, including the addition of guitarist John McGeoch and drummer Budgie, they changed their musical direction and became one of the most successful alternative pop groups of the 1980s. Their third album Kaleidoscope (1980) peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart. With Juju (1981) which also reached the top 10, they became an influence on the emerging gothic scene.

The band made a breakthrough in North America with the multifaceted album Peepshow (1988), which received critical praise. With substantial support from alternative rock radio stations, they achieved a mainstream hit in the US in 1991 with the pop single "Kiss Them for Me". Siouxsie and the Banshees's other best-known songs include "Happy House" (1980), "Spellbound" (1981), "Cities in Dust" (1985) and "Peek-a-Boo" (1988). During their career, Siouxsie and the Banshees released 11 studio albums and 30 singles. The band experienced several line-up changes, with Siouxsie and Severin being the only constant members. They disbanded in 1996.

The band were post-punk pioneers. They have been cited as an influence by bands such as Joy Division, the Cure, U2 and Radiohead, Tricky and Jeff Buckley.

Formation (1976-1977)

Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin met at a Roxy Music concert in September 1975, at a time when glam rock had faded and there was nothing new coming through with which they could identify. From February 1976, Siouxsie, Severin and some friends began to follow an unsigned band, the Sex Pistols. Journalist Caroline Coon dubbed them the "Bromley Contingent", as most of them came from the Bromley area of south-east London, a label Severin came to despise. "There was no such thing, it was just a bunch of people drawn together by the way they felt and they looked". They were all inspired by the Sex Pistols and their uncompromising attitude. When they learned that one of the bands scheduled to play the 100 Club Punk Festival, organised by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, was pulling out from the bill at the last minute, Siouxsie suggested that she and Severin play, even though they had no band name or additional members. Two days later, the pair appeared at the festival held in London on 20 September 1976. With two borrowed musicians at their side, Marco Pirroni on guitar and Sid Vicious on drums, their set consisted of a 20-minute improvisation based on "The Lord's Prayer".

The band intended to split up after the gig, but they were asked to play again. Over the next few months, Siouxsie and Severin recruited drummer Kenny Morris and guitarist Peter Fenton. After playing several gigs in early 1977, they realised that Fenton did not fit in because he was "a real rock guitarist"; he was fired on stage in mid-May. John McKay took his place in July. Their first live appearance on television took place in November on Granada Television (based in Manchester), on Tony Wilson's TV show So It Goes. In that month they also recorded their first John Peel session for BBC radio, in which they premiered a new song, "Metal Postcard"; this introduced a "motorik austerity" in the drum patterns, along with "space in the sound" and "serrated guitars". The band described their music as "cold, machine-like and passionate at the same time". When they appeared on the cover of Sounds magazine, Vivien Goldman wrote: "they sound like a 21st-century industrial plant".

The albums featured in this 50th anniversary special presentation are as follows:

This is The Cure - Festival Summer 2026, The Studio Versions (A Hervé Guilleminot Special Presentation) + Rock En Seine 30.08.2026 + Movie

This is The Cure - Festival Summer 2026, The Studio Versions (A Hervé Guilleminot Special Presentation) 

THE CURE -  FROM BEDROOMS TO STADIUMS

Few bands bring people together quite like The Cure. Their audiences span several generations: fans who discovered them in the early 1980s stand alongside younger listeners who have found the same comfort, excitement and sense of belonging in their songs. Music once played alone in teenage bedrooms now fills arenas, stadiums and festival fields. That journey makes The Cure one of the most remarkable bands to emerge from the closing decades of the twentieth century. Even in front of tens of thousands of people, their songs can still feel intensely personal.

One of their greatest strengths is their extraordinary range. The Cure move from the stark landscapes of cold wave and post-punk to bright pop melodies, restless psychedelia and long, slowly unfolding pieces with something of the scale of progressive rock. “A Forest”, “Just Like Heaven” and “Disintegration” express very different moods, yet all belong unmistakably to the same musical world. Their darkness has never excluded pleasure, humour or joy. They can make an audience dance, then draw it into a song about loneliness, love or loss, with equal conviction.

As one of the last great British new wave and post-punk bands still performing on this scale, The Cure carry an enormous history. Much of their enduring appeal comes from Robert Smith. Behind the wild hair and familiar make-up is a singer whose vulnerability, dry humour and independence have made him an unusually endearing public figure. His voice remains immediately recognisable, while the musicians around him give the songs their depth and physical force. Together, they have built a relationship with listeners that reaches far beyond fashion or nostalgia.

Their generosity is especially clear on stage. Full-length Cure concerts often exceed two and a half hours, allowing room for familiar favourites, less obvious songs and extended passages that need time to reveal their power. These performances offer more than a succession of hits: they invite the audience to inhabit the music. The same emotional openness helps explain why The Cure continue to inspire musicians, writers, filmmakers and countless listeners for whom their songs have become part of everyday life.

Trent Reznor expressed this connection memorably when he inducted the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. His deeply sincere tribute recalled discovering music that seemed to understand his own feelings and made him feel less alone. It captured something essential about The Cure: their ability to turn private uncertainty into a shared experience.

They also continue to create music worthy of that attachment. Songs of a Lost World demonstrated that their themes could grow older with them, giving grief and passing time a powerful musical form. Robert Smith has spoken of a possible ending around 2029, but their continuing commitment gives these later years a sense of purpose.

The triumphant summer of 2026 provides the starting point for this collection. Bringing together 50 studio recordings, this imagined complete concert brings together every song played across the tour, making it easier to hear which periods the band chose to favour. Alongside it, I have included the closing Paris-area performance from Rock en Seine on 30 August 2026 in FLAC audio and video. I was there... it felt like a genuine musical firework display, and a moving reminder that songs first loved in solitude can become an extraordinary collective celebration. (Hervé Guilleminot)

VA - Perfect Unpop, Peel Show Hits & Long-Lost Lo-Fi Favourites Vol. 1 (2008) & Vol. 2 (2026 Remaster) (2 x CDs)

K SPECIAL EXPANDED EDITION

EARLY PUNK, POST PUNK & LO-FI

VA - Perfect Unpop, Peel Show Hits & Long-Lost Lo-Fi Favourites Vol. 1 (2008) & Vol. 2 (2026 Remaster) (2 x CDs)

Perfect Unpop captures a moment when independent music was raw, inventive and carried forward by the enthusiasm of listeners rather than the machinery of the industry. Drawn from 1976 to 1980, the compilation reflects the spirit of John Peel’s radio show, where small‑label singles, rough demos and oddball experiments found a home. These tracks were not polished for charts or commercial radio. They were made by young bands working quickly, shaping ideas with urgency and instinct, and Peel’s support allowed them to be heard beyond their local scenes.

The sequencing moves through early punk, post‑punk and lo‑fi pop with a sense of discovery. Tours open the set with Language School, a track that feels like a manifesto for the era: sharp, direct and full of nervous charm. The Vibrators, Subway Sect and Young Marble Giants follow with performances that show how varied the late‑seventies underground could be. Some tracks lean toward jagged rhythm, others toward minimal melody, but all share the same sense of possibility.

Kleenex, The Bears and Wreckless Eric add colour and humour, while Swell Maps and The Out push into more fractured territory. The compilation keeps its pace by balancing familiar names with lesser‑known groups such as The Disco Zombies, The Wasps and The Carpettes, each offering a glimpse of scenes that thrived outside mainstream attention. By the time The Monochrome Set and Au Pairs appear, the set has widened into the early shape of post‑punk, where ideas became sharper and more deliberate.

Across its twenty‑four tracks, Perfect Unpop preserves the honesty and inventiveness of youth, capturing the moment when independent music felt wide open and full of promise. It stands as a reminder of how Peel’s support helped these songs exist at all, giving them a place where their rough edges became strengths rather than obstacles. (B)

Perfect Unpop: Peel Show Hits & Long-Lost Lo-Fi Favourites Vol. 1 1976-80 (2026 Remaster) (2008)

A number of tracks have since been remastered following this original 2008 release and have featured on quite a few Cherry Red box sets. These better sounding remasters from much better sources and original master tapes are now reflected in this newly updated volume 1.

VA - Perfect Unpop, Peel Show Hits & Long-Lost Lo-Fi Favourites Vol. 2 1976-80 (2026)

If a Vol. 2 had ever been released, I think this could very well have been it.

27 classics all championed by John Peel and big favourites on his show - 17 of which I rushed out and bought the original 45s often the day after I first heard them played on air!

This is my own compilation and volume 2 that sadly never materialised, but I think sits perfectly with volume 1 , featuring 27 classic tracks all from small independent labels and played many times by John Peel on his BBC Radio 1 show. (K)

Gerry Mulligan - Mosaic Select 21 [2006] (3 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

GERRY MULLIGAN

Gerry Mulligan - Mosaic Select 21 [2006] (3 x CDs)

Mosaic Select 21, released in 2006 as a three‑CD limited edition on Mosaic Records, gathers four projects recorded by Gerry Mulligan during an unusually productive stretch in late 1957 and 1958. The material was originally created for Pacific Jazz, a label that documented Mulligan’s work with care, issuing albums in multiple formats and preserving sessions that showed his range as a baritone saxophonist, arranger and bandleader. The box presents these recordings in fresh transfers, giving listeners a clear view of Mulligan’s melodic clarity and his ability to adapt to varied ensemble settings.

The first portion features Mulligan’s reunion with Chet Baker, recorded with Henry Grimes and Dave Bailey. Although the pair had a long history, these sessions avoid nostalgia, offering relaxed phrasing and a shared sense of balance. The quartet produced enough material for two albums, though only one appeared at the time, making the additional tracks valuable for collectors who follow catalogue histories.

The centrepiece of the set is The Gerry Mulligan Songbook, presented here in stereo. Bill Holman arranged six Mulligan compositions for a saxophone section that included Lee Konitz, Allen Eager, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims and Mulligan himself, supported by Freddie Green, Henry Grimes and Dave Bailey. Mulligan contributed an additional piece for the date, and the writing throughout is crisp, elegant and deeply musical, showing how his ideas could be expanded into larger textures without losing intimacy.

Another highlight is the collaboration with the Vinnie Burke String Quartet, an unusual ensemble of guitar, violin, cello and bass with Mulligan and Bailey. Eight selections were prepared for an album that never materialised, though four later surfaced on CD. The pizzicato textures create a light, open sound that suits Mulligan’s lyrical approach.

The final portion features Annie Ross Sings a Song of Mulligan, recorded with both the reunion quartet and Mulligan’s 1958 group with Art Farmer, Bill Crow and Bailey. Ross’s pitch accuracy and musical sensitivity make her an ideal partner in a cordless setting.

Mosaic Select 21 offers a detailed view of Mulligan’s craft, captured during a remarkably focused period of recording. (B)

Ambient House

01 The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds

02 Global Communication - 1431

03 Leftfield - Melt (Remastered)

04 The Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea  (Original 12' Version)

05 Aphex Twin - Xtal

06 808 State - Pacific State

07 Spacetime Continuum With Terence McKenna - Archaic Revival

08 Orbital - Belfast

09 Ultramarine - Hymn

I followed Brian Eno down the ambient rabbit hole back when Music For Airports came out, then kept following it through the EG and Obscure catalogs for years. When house producers started going that direction it felt like two things I already loved finding each other. When Ricki started talking about clouds I was done. That is probably why I ended up caring about this whole pick series and the rest of the house stuff at all.
