Glad I’m not the only one listening to that Shabazz album. Have you heard the other one?

Unfortunately, I think the Flotation Toy Warning album was released in June.

On a happier note: cue odd coincidence time - I read your reference to Flotation Toy Warning at the same time I discovered The Fitzcarraldo Sessions’ “We Hear Voices!”. Turns out that Paul Carter of FTW collaborates with TFS on one of the tracks on that album: “I, Ignorist”. Small world … and nice album.

It was released in France in June, and in the UK in July (not that it will get in the top ten of this list anyhow, so doesn’t matter too much! :slight_smile: ).
Will check out The Fitzcarraldo Sessions, thanks!

Ah, right-o. Well, your posting still made me have a listen.Interesting sound (but not affecting my July AotM selection). You’ll find The Fitzcarraldo Sessions quite a different beast. The French connection might explain the collab. with Paul Carter - The F Sessions do hail from France.
