Wounded Sky

Unavailable for almost 30 years in its own right, this collection from the Cold Spring archive has been repackaged and remastered with new art. This classic album exists as a document of the soundtrack work PSYCHIC TV created for the many films and videos of Derek Jarman. Another demonstration of why PSYCHIC TV were one of the most important groups in the world.

The titular track, 'Prayer For Derek', is intended as an invocationary prayer, based on Tibetan rituals; a collage of sounds including field recordings of the lulling waves running aground on the shingle beach opposite Jarman's Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, Kent alongside bird song, crying babies, and massed ritualised chants to aid the late film director in his after-life journeys.

Other tracks feature elongated drones, washes of dissonance, melancholic guitar chime, evocative piano scoring, Burroughs cut-ups, gothic chants, and familiar snarling gods.

Out 23rd June 2025: CD in matt digipak with 8-page fold-out booklet, with detailed liner notes by Genesis P-Orridge (1997); Astorical anecdotes and background facts for completeness.

Under a Familiar Sun

Listen / Buy

This is an ATTEMPTED compendium of all the covers Alex Chilton recorded and released from 'Like Flies on Sherbert' onwards- there are a few editorial and logistical omissions. Tried to not double dip but Allan Page's A and B sides are two good not to include (released and produced by legendary Memphian Cordell Jackson.) TBH as I edited this down it just reminds me of a pretty tricked out and iconoclastic oldies radio station late at night-which I am sure Alex and the oceanic jukebox of his mind would approve of. Track list as follows-
1. Chris Kenner - Sick and Tired
2.Allan Page- Stranded on a Dateless Night
3.Troy Shondell- Girl After Girl 
4.Lowell Fulson-Make a Little Love
5.The Seeds-Can't Seem to Make You Mine
6.Jimmy C Newman-Alligator Man
7.Lou Christie-I'm Gonna Make You Mine
8.The Bell Notes-I've Had It
9.Danny Pearson-What's Your Sign Girl
10. Domenico Modugno- Volare 
11.Rosetta Howard- If You're a Viper 
12.Joe Groundhog Richardson- Take It Off
13.The Troggs- With a Girl Like You
14.Adriano Celentano- Il Ribelle 
15.Nina Simone- My Baby Just Cares For Me
16.Gary Stewart-Single Again
17.Ernest Tubb-Waltz Across Texas
18.Ollie Nightingale - You Got a Booga Bear Under There 
19.Buddy Johnson -Save Your Love For Me
20.Eddie Floyd- I've Never Found a Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)
21.Willie Tee- Thank You John 
22.Jan and Dean-New Girl in School
