Different Noises

So this one is a little different in that it marks the recent passing of two key musical figures Mark Stewart and Ahmad Jamal. There is a selection of music from across both their careers by way of tribute. In between there are new releases from Ramdat, Dead Sea Apes, Legless Trials, Hashishian, Massimo Magee, and Seven Rivers of Fire, plus some live Van Der Graaf Generator, and newish Manchester band Threads who have a Fall connection. As usual the emphasis is on music which doesn’t fit neatly in any contrived genre box.
