about

"Very different is Light Mind Rising by The Mighty Ur: a mixture of prog-rock and experimental metal, the group work with figures such as the poet Steve Mcauliffe who provides the lyrics and vocals for many of their tracks. There is an echo of groups such as Godflesh as though interpreted via Julian Cope, and the group invoke Blake as a spirit throughout many of the pieces. It is most evident, however, in “Fourfold City”, which is not a direct setting of Blake’s work but rather a riff on London through Blake’s visionary poetics, with Mcauliffe invoking images of hope and angels in a cityscape that owes much to Blake’s Jerusalem the Emanation of the Giant Albion and his Song of Experience, “London”. Blake figures as the poet into whom Milton entered via his left foot, and that prophet who had to break systems to create his own. The track – and indeed the album – becomes strangely hypnotic at various points."-Zoamorphosis | The Blake 2.0 Blog

Hoorahland
by The Cravats

Completely original Zapa/Beefheart would be a lazy comparison. Saxophone welded well. The new stuff stands up with & even beats the early 80s output. Check out Dusbin Of Sound and In Toytown too. The Mighty Ur

We Love You
by Bilge Pump

From Leeds. Completely original.Jesus Lizard/ Beefheart would be a lazy comparison. If they were from LA you'd never stop reading about them. There previous 10" title is as relevant as ever The Mighty Ur

Crisis Point
by Subhumans

The mighty Subhumans. A band AC Monks has probably seen more than any other over 4 decades and they're still pumping it out. The Mighty Ur
