A few more nice things this week, not least the new Chris Forsyth album, which features some assistance from various bits of the Helix/Hans Chew axis. I think I might tackle them both for my next magazine column, but bear with me.
Not everything here I’m keen on, I should say. Also, it may not be a good idea to keep asking me about the REM album…
