So, it’s Sunday, so time for two very different artists to be foistered upon you.

First up, legendary member of the Incredible String Band, Robin Williamson.

I had been aware of the Incredible String Band for a long time, but hadn’t really closely listened to any of their albums, until I read a feature in The Wire a few months ago on Robin Williamson. There were six tracks of his solo stuff on their site, so I devoured these and set about sampling all the albums through my local library. See what you think of the bard:

From Skirting the River Road

Robin Williamson -‘The Four Points Are Thus Beheld.’ mp3

Robin Williamson -‘The Journey.’ mp3

From The Iron Stone

Robin Williamson -‘Bacchus.’ mp3

Robin Williamson -‘The Climber.’ mp3

From The Seed At Zero

Robin Williamson -‘The Seed At Zero.’ mp3

Robin Williamson -‘The Barley.’ mp3

And now for something completely different…

I don’t know if you would call Maps shoegazing or Electronica or both, even, but i think they would appeal to fans of both genres. I love these three tracks, and think you should give these a spin (from the album We Can Create:

Maps-‘You Don’t Know Her Name.’ mp3

Maps-‘Eloise.’ mp3

Maps-‘It Will Find You.’ mp3

As always, if you like what you hear, check out you local independent record shop.

Have a good week!
